Assumptions you hate.

I hate how people assume that girls/women are casual gamers. When I was at school, a University tutor came to my school (an all girls school) to promote a course in video animation. He mentioned games, then quickly said, 'but I doubt anyone here is interested in that. Girls don't play games.'

I also hate how people assume that their friend is in the right and has told the full story. When people argue, I always try and search for the different sides to the story. If a friend comes to me and I only receive their's, I will try and suggest how the person they are upset with may feel.

So true! Everytime I mention what music I like, everyone looks at me weird, as if I don't 'look the part', so to speak.
'Why are you wearing that cross around your neck? To be ironic?'
'No, because I'm a Christian..'
'Then you can't possibly be into metal!!'

I get quite the opposite.

When I tell people that I listen to metal. They just assume that I am a christian.
I can only blame one group for that stereotype.

1.) The metal I used to listen to (Heavy, Screamo) influenced others to listen to it. The others tended to listen to christian metal.

Damn the people I infuenced!

It's a less serious one, but when people assume everyone from Texas owns a ranch and rides horses to school.

Because that's west Texas you're talking about. The other directions are very normal cities. Especially Austin, which is like a smaller New York but with less angry people.

Yeah but would you like to own a ranch and ride horses to school? :3

I hate the assumption that because im 15 I must be a murdering fire starter vandel baby rapist!

Well OP I would suggest not doing self harm because even if you failed at something it is not a reason to inflict harm on yourself. I have failed plenty of things in my life and rather then looking to blame anyone (Including myself) I feel its better to accept that something went wrong and move on try to do better next time.

OT: People assuming high IQ means I can do absolutely everything when it comes to being smart like maths or writing essays.
People assuming it doesn't snow in Australia even if they live here. :/
On the other hand I love when people think I ride a kangaroo to school and have a pet dingo.

That belief in a creator must mean the person is christian / islamic / whatever. It is entirely possible to believe in zeus, or the spaghetti monster, or your own personal god, or whatever. I like to believe that belief manifests itself as it wills and as such we don't need to assume that everyone who believes follows a large, organized religion.
