Friday Please Don't Assume
List the ten most annoying assumptions that people make about you.
- That I'm just like my parents.
- That I'm deranged and/or under mind control for enjoying spending time with Touched.
- That, since I'm from a nouveau riche family, I put on airs and act a snob.
- That, being the heir to the Van Dort fish cannery, I must love all fish.
- That, because I'm not a scientist myself, I don't know what I'm talking about in the shop.
- That, because I work in Doc's employ, I obviously know everything about everything in the shop. (Yes, I get both extremes -- they're very annoying. I don't know all the fiddly details, but I do know enough to make the occasional recommendation.)
- That I'm just an Igor and thus can be treated with contempt.
- That there's no way I could eat as much as that, being as skinny as I am. (This one's actually more amusing -- it only gets annoying in situations where someone encourages me to eat my fill, and -- well, gets mad when I do just that.)
- That just because my family is well-off means I don't care about the value of work and I'll always be a rich spoiled brat. (Though I admit, sometimes I feel the latter when I hear about how some of my friends grew up.)
- That because I grew up in Burtonsville, there's no way I could ever be comfortable in a place like Secundus.
