Assuming = Ass of U +Me
I am humbled today, as I view myself as a pretty good communicator.
Yet, I found myself on the outs with someone based on my perceived judgment of his lack of follow-through.

So grateful that I took the time out to ask questions for more understanding.
There was no ill intent on either part, just incorrect assumptions.
Reminds me of the old adage, when you assume you can make an ass out of u and me.
Are you making assumptions that haven’t been verified?
