Assumptions.
This fits the style of Bitch and Moan, but I wanted some discussion about it, as I'm sure it's happened to many people before.
When people make assumptions, thinking that they know best, or know something in general, which is often completely wrong - all because of assumptions.
The other day, I walked into a music festival and had my bag checked for "suspicious materials". Fair enough, they wanted to check my bag. After all, I look like a suicide bomber. Anyway, the woman looked at me funny after checking my bag, and said "you DO realize, that if you actually DO have something on you and you get caught, you WILL be thrown out, right?"
She totally assumed that I was going to be smuggling shit in, which was actually kind of offensive to me, and it's not the first time something like that has happened either.

Here I thought you were just frisking me 'cause you liked me.
I find it worse that people assume you DO know things that you don't.
I agree with that too. Especially when someone's like "WHY DIDN'T YOU DO *insert action here*", assuming you had a clue about it.
9 times out of 10, you should have known.
