Never Assume People Know

Tweet

One of the most annoying things it to do is to assume something. Never assume someone knows something. It can lead to embarrassment and frustration when they don't. Communication helps us, and I might not know something is going on if you don't tell me. Out of all of the things I may be talented at, mind reading is not one skill I picked up. Therefore to assume I know without telling me, is a pain. There have been times where friends and family got mad at me about something and said "I thought you knew." Well, obviously, I didn't, because you assumed and didn't ask. I think we all know about the saying about what happens to you and me when you assume. So, communicate, and tell me what I need to know. Don't get upset later when you haven't told me and you think I should know. Everyone doesn't know, because there's someone out there who doesn't.
