An example of the warning and logical criticism of "making assumptions".
One of a few fundamental false assumptions about human interaction and the internet that tend to make everything more complicated rather than simpler.
The assumptiont that everyone would be sane, ultimately have the best interest for everyone in mind, and that any conflict would only be some kind of misunderstanding.
And the assumption that everyone would have the same knowledge and background and that the key to understanding everyone and every single situation would be to take up some common clichés about human interaction or even "key topics" (see trivial "atheism vs religion", although atheism still wins).
Ironically only creates partisanship, stereotypes, and apologists of plainly inane or insane behaviour.

Get the The wrong assumption mug.The law of wrong way states that: "While driving in the city, any missed or wrong turn and subsequent backtracking to find your original route will be met by frustratingly slow moving traffic and red lights at every intersection.
Many, if not all of these red lights will be Full-cycle red lights."
Many, if not all of these red lights will be Full-cycle red lights."
While trying to find the corporate building downtown, I missed my turn and ended up backtracking an extra 3 miles, through 4 busy intersections, while following two old ladies, a Vespa scooter and a garbage truck. The law of wrong way was in effect.
Needless to say, I missed the Boss's luncheon and didn't get the promotion. FML.
