Question

Does it annoy you when people make unfounded assumptions and make comments based on these assumptions?

Answer 1

Why should you assume that the comments are based on assumptions and those assumptions are unfounded?

Ooo, my head hurts now!

Answer 2

hi there.

YES IT DOES! It is like a plague on Yahoo Q&A sometimes, people have heard something and instead of checking it out themselves post a really stupid question instead.

It is no less irritating in real life, how many thieving "jokes" do you hear if revealing yourself to be from Liverpool? Too many!

thanks for the rant, Steve :)

Answer 3

yes it does...

Answer 4

No because it will always happen and I can never change it, but I can change my attitude towards it!  Do I want to get hurt, upset and angry for the rest of my life every time some ignorant person has an oppinion about me?  I don't think so that would not be a good place to be.

If you care so much about what others say about you, you will continue to fool yourself and lie to them.

If you listen to that flattery with complete attention, neither liking nor disliking, listen to it completely, wholly, then an image is not formed, you do not call him your friend, and alternatively, the person who insults you, you do not call him your enemy.

Even as a great rock is not shaken by the wind, the wise person is not shaken by praise or blame.

Answer 5

Oh don't get me started lol ..... I've peed someone off that's for sure x

Answer 6

Yes, it irritates me to no end! Try hanging out in 'Religion & Spirituality' for a while. That's all some people do in there... they just talk badly about other groups of people based on their opinions or unfounded assumptions.

It allows ignorance to linger and prevents the truth from coming out.
