Assumptions. We all make them, and we all experience the affects of assuming things we don't know for certain. If you smile at someone and they look away with a certain look, you assume that they have something against you while in reality they're just having a bad day. Witnesses at a crime scene all report things slightly different, details stick out to certain people while the same details avoid other people's attention like they have the plague. Another thing to think about is when people talk they are never talking about the same thing. People have different backgrounds and have experienced different things so when someone talks about a "dog" one person may visualize a golden retriever while the other visualizes a Jack Russel Terrier. It made me laugh a little bit when a movie comes out that was originally a book, some people complain that it wasn't like the book at all. Sometimes they complain about how a character looks, which I find funny because I don't think it's very reasonable to get mad at the actor (director, etc., whoever you want to blame) just because they don't look the way you imagined they would or should.
