Assumptions

I actually got something that happened to me a few days ago! Last tuesday I was sitting down drinking with some of my friends at a coffee bar, and suddenly there comes this older person to me, and screams: 'WHY did you steal my grapes boy?!' So me, totally surprised responding: 'i've been here all evening..' But still he was mad,and didn't believe me, so he just walked away. Next morning, the police are in front of my house, asking me about the 'Grand Theft Grape' xD, which literaly they were saying in Hungarian!! So I told them my story, and we went down to the coffee bar, the police talked to the owner and confirmed I was here at that time. So I had my alibi, and everything was okay. But still that older men, assumes it was me! So he told the whole village that it was me, and everyone believes it !! Which ofcourse is a terrible feeling for me. Especially because the police caught the people who have been stealing those grapes, but still, they don't believe the police, and rather believe what that person has been telling them. Because this village likes to gossip. What a great village huh?! -_-' People assume here everything, ACCEPT the truth.

Hi Elic, You have very strange neighoburs, lol, I wouln't know why the assumes things instead of making proper arrangements. Tamara

If I got started, you'd never be able to finish reading my response.

People are always assuming, i don't know why.....I live in an apt. building and my good friends cousin moved in here recently, and he is like a family member, i have known this man for years..So they had Movie night here, so my friend came to see the movie & also her cousin that is like a family member to me, anyway we all sit together, my friend, her cousin & myself....Well the next day this lady"Shes NOT a lady" but i am being nice just assumed that HE was my BOYFRIEND....Even if i were looking for a boyfriebd it would not be him, he is more like a brother or something to me.....I think people who always assume has no Life so they have to make up a bunch of stuff....This place i live in is really nice and we have some really nice folks that live here, but we also have a few gossips, and they have made this place like a "Peyton Place" with all their gossip & asumptions.

hi ElicBxn yes I really do. for example I am overweight and short but because I have a metoal and plastic shoulder joint Ihave little movement left in my left arm. hence I cannot do a lot withthat arrm and hand. so someone here wants me to help them by holding both hands out so they can pull themselves out of a c hair.I have to tell them I c annot do it because I cannot lift myleft arm up.They just assume as I am a large person I am doubly strong. that is not the case at all. For example if I want to put my left hand up onto something I have to take my right hand and lift my left arm with my right hand to where I want my left hand to be.

I do hate it when someone presumes things about me & what i am going to do then act so shocked when i don't do what they thought i would. I am a woman & i am proud i am but working on women mostly in the beauty shop i was surprised how demanding they can be & how much them presume & expect out of u. It can get very old.

Some people just try to assume things as long as it benefits them. If they were assuming that she was buying the cake, they wouldn't have to worry about buying said cake as it would save them money. I try and make it a point anymore to confirm with everyone that I plan on doing things with down to every last detail to ensure that I am in fact getting the correct information. I hate being all messed up.

Well obviously Elic, it's all your fault!! You must have deliberately missed the day when they handed out mind reading abilities. Shame on you!

The flip side being you assumed that it was the Sam's close to you, so an assumption was made on both sides. Yes, it has happened here a lot too, though I have one very good excuse - 5 kids which equals no sleep, which means super foggy brain! LOL Assuming that your roomie was buying the cake was rather rude. I hope your roomie didn't buy it, because this neighbour will keep doing things like this if they did.

[b]Did you assume your Sam's was the only Sam's? Maggiepie (laffin' 'n ducking ) "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE"[/b]

I don't blame the neighbor for not wanting to drive in Austin. Even my son doesn't like to drive in Austin, and he lives there. Back to the subject. People get a hint of something and add to it in their mind to make it the way they think it should be. There's that assumption. Not right, and yes, it's very annoying.

Didn't you also assume?

I guess some people just don't have any consideration for others; the universe just seems to revolve around them.

Yes you are right to be hateful if someone assumed you are there knowing that you have plan to meet in one place and not the place they went. omg

Now how did my boss describe the defination of assume...hmmmm...oh yeah, The defination of assume is: People making an AZZ out of themselves whenever they think someone is going to do a certain thing. (think that's how it went) Anyways, the point was well-taken and I never use that word again.

Some people are just oblivious to the fact that other people have their own thoughts and ways.

they weren't the only ones that just assumed something you assumed also. you assumed that they meant the one a few miles down not the other one. if you seperate the word assume you get a$$...u...me so don't ever assume that you know which sam they are talking about instead ask and there won't be any confusion. the cake thing tho that was wrong of the neighbor to just volunteer the roomie for that that is an assumption on there part. the first situation is more a miscommunication on both parts that both parties involved are to blame for it. the second situation the neighbor made an a** out of the roomie for assuming that she was going to by the cake and one out of her self for putting her 2 cents in where it didn't belong

Yeah really Elic! Where do these people get off?! No, I would not like that one bit and let it be known too. Some people have balls, don't they? lol That takes big ones too to assume such things....

Remember the definition of: assume?That's when you make an a** out of you and me. a$$/ u/ me cdrxo ;-)

What do say about assumptions? Simply. Do not assume;because it makes an 'a.s.s.' of 'u' and 'me'.Well,I have assumed many things. I have gone to the wrong hotel in the wrong place on the wrong date at the wrong time. That must be a first of sorts. I have assumed meetings to be held at a certain time and have gone there after the meeting is long over. I have gone for wedding dinners where I do not know the bride and groom. So do not assume, it makes us fools when we are found out!
