People often assume that we are going to ipost things in a timely manner. Wrong! But we usually get to it eventually.
umm... some people assume that I'm a natural redhead. These people have obviously never seen a natural redhead.
About 3 times in the last two weeks I have answered the phone by saying, "This is Jordan," and the person on the other line has responded, "Hi Stewart."

WTF?
I think people assume that I am a sucker. I am approached incessantly on the street with sob stories that always end up as a plea for money. In response to this onslaught of unsolicited solicitation, I have attempted to cultivate a public face that conveys this message: "helpful, but not a sucker." I think it's starting to work.
I didn't call her because I was ignoring her.

I didn't call her because I was overwhelmed by work and because of the text message I got the next morning: "I can still smell you on me. Very sexy." That freaked me out like she liked me on top of the whole bit where I was too wrapped up in work to worry about it.
People always assume that I can't reach things on high shelves. Okay, so they're often right. But not always!!

Homunculi need not be measured by their stature but by their presence.
Based on events in the past few weeks, I must assume that others assume it is part of my job to flirt with them. And that my job title is "honey, sweetheart, pretty," or "cutie." Ugh.
Once upon a time, I gained some weight and my boyfriend moved to the city I lived in. This led to quite an unsettling rumour that I was pregnant. Obviously the assumption was something like belly+boyfriend=baby. It's not that simple folks. Some of us actually enjoy food and beer and - shock horror - someone finds us attractive anyway.
