Some seem to think so, it seems. I rarely have problems, but have encountered the occassional agent that chooses to make assumptions - never anything as rude as what you describe. The closest I came was when checking in for a WBC flight last year or the year before at BOS, when the person working the velvet rope was definitely a little snippy after I told her I was in the correct line.
I always wear jeans or shorts, so I certainly don't look the part.
