To assume 'all things equal' when reading aibu?

To clarify, I come across a lot of 'you don't know the full story' and 'that's just a snapshot' and 'what if the child had behavioural issues' etc. in response to posters on AIBU.

I generally assume the op either knows that he/she hasn't seen the whole picture, or indeed does know the full story.

In other words, I attach an implicit 'no statistically unusual circumstances' to posts.

It makes my life easier.

Is this U? Does anyone else do similar?

Now you have to jump in and say that your life needs to be made easier because of X Y Z.

Trillian, my life needs to be made easier because I am quite fond of myself and like things to be simple.
