A great reminder for those of us who assume we are being crystal clear only to find the waters muddied. BTW - remind me to never run into you a dark alley!

I think we'll always make some assumptions in the little things. But in business, sometimes the little things can end up being BIG ugly thing. It's a caution so that we don't assume that the person we're talking to/dealing with understands everything we are saying. One of the best ways to get on the same page with a client or customer is to create an informal "Agreement for Services" or an official contract. One of my mentors creates contracts for the non-profit, donation work she does. PS - Sorry about your encounter with the pepper spray. It works, though doesn't it!

I make my wife carry a pepper spray canister, and I can tell you from an accidental dose that it's rough stuff. Assumptions usually get us into trouble. We still make them anyway, though. :-D That is both horrible and hilarious. I make my wife carry a pepper spray canister, and I can tell you from an accidental dose that it’s rough stuff.
