Do you hate it when people try to put words into your mouth? If you were asked about something, for instance how well a person plays piano and you give your honest opinion and say “I have heard better renditions of that piece that one was a little rough”, and later find out the kid’s parents interpret it as you saying their kids can’t play or was lousy at piano. Or you are asked who you feel should be promoted and you chose a woman because she was better but she also happens to be slender and attractive only to discover that someone said she was your pick because you believe she was hot, not because she had 4yrs exp over everyone else. That just bugs the hell out of me when people don’t hear what they want then imagine what they want in what I actually said. Do you feel the same way? Where do you find it happens most, if it happens, home, school or work?
