Anytime someone tries to assume something about me or tell me to buy something.
I bet you would like "x"
You should buy "x"
About 99% of the time they are wrong.
If they like it so much, they should buy it.
People who narrate me. If I were feeling charitable I'd say they're doing that communication technique of re-phrasing what the person just said to show that they're listening and understand. But it gets weird when it's a. constantly wrong, or b. too much of a guess.
Me: It's a position with a lot of customers so you'd need to keep a cool head while making people happy.
Person: You're looking for someone to lay down the law.
Me: Well, no, I mean we do want the person to be self-directed, but it's more on the service side. We can't give special favors, but there are a lot of big personalities who we can't afford to offend.
Person: They need to be taken down a notch.
Me: Er...[more explanation]
Person: [acting nettled]
Like, some people just aren't good at comprehending things, but it feels like if they would just take a break from trying to tell you what you're saying, they might actually hear what you're saying.
Me: I'll have the chocolate cake please
Guy: You're a woman who likes sensual things.
Um, okay? It's like, if you already know me and want to say my lines for me, I don't even really need to be here.
