Assuming has got to be one of the most dangerous things someone can do to another person. Nine times out of ten the assumption is wrong, so excuse me if I don’t assume what is obvious to everyone else about someone (or something), obvious or not assuming is equally as bad as prejudging. I can’t even count the number of times that an assumption has ended in an argument where one person says “Well I assumed you knew…” or “Why would you assume that?” or any other such response, it would be tedious to type them out so I’ll spare you for now.
