Assumptions

People who are fat eat a lot
Working late shows one's dilligence and commitment to work
Teachers are all prim and proper
Snaking queues mean food must be fantastic

Assumptions that leap to and plant themselves in the mind
Faster than a snap of the finger
That seems so handy in this world of instant solutions - of 'elevator pitches' , snapshots, executive summaries
We jump in and adopt them and then pride ourselves that we've reached out to yet another person, got to know someone better...but really, how much do we truly understand of someone else?

This is not a want- to- change- the world post, and i must admit that , sometimes, i don't even want to invest that time /energy to understanding someone better.

But pls stop assuming that just because

I smile and laugh with you, i am always cheery, good and fine and i like you
I go to uberburger, i tried the $101 burger
I have an appointment after dinner, must be with a boyfriend
