To hate it when people presume/assume things about me?

[thismousebites]

Ex Dh came over today flashing his new iphone 5. "Ooh look it does this that and the other, it's really cool, don't you think?"
my response was obviously underwhelmed as he came out with "Well that's typical of you, you don't like anything".
AIBU in that my hackles immediately rise when people automatically assume that I will/will not like something that they find incredibly fascinating?
One of the main reasons we split was because the things I liked were seen as rubbish, whereas all the stuff he liked was the norm and everyone else liked it/them, so what was my problem?
I just really hate being told "Well everyone else thinks this is great, but, of course, you will hate it".
GRRRRRR!

YABU. IPhone 5 is fab! What's not to like?

Next time cast your eyes about the room and point out you're looking for fucks to give.

He's your EX. One of the positives about that is that you no longer have to discuss shit with him :)

I am assuming that you are a single female.

Non-conventional music tastes, however you are proud of the tastes you do have.

You work within the service industry in some capacity though not health.

You work within public transport of your place of employment in the south of the country.

How did I do?

I am assuming that you complex are either......

A. Stalker

B. the ex

C. Psychic

You forgot fool

Do other people assume things about you or is it just someone who you have already decided isn't someone you want to spend much time with? It sounds to me like he just annoys you in general!

I hate automatic assumptions too. I get them a lot when I mention having an 8 year old - I have a 'baby' face - and I can see calculations in the mind of the person I'm talking to buggers.

Also, the iphone 5 is utter shite you were completely right to say so. Now if it'd been the galaxy s3 there'd be war via words on the screen

Your title says nothing about your post

Great line from ' Shit my Dad Says ' Son is raving on and on about how fab his new phone is blah blah blah.Dad says ' Did you invent it ? ' Son says no so dad says ' Well shut the fuck up then ' < was funny on the telly >

I am assuming that your ex needs to justify his choices by putting you down mouse.

I listen to radio 4 , what does that say about me?
I also listen to Trance music. What does that say about me?
The fact that I refused to keep up with new trends seemed to piss my ex off hugely for some reason.
And he never understood why I preferred to watch Modern Family instead of Eastenders

Its not people, is it, you have only mentioned your ex DH. Ignore him, he is the last person whose opinion you should care about.

Yor're right, of course. I should not let him niggle me this way.
Just riles me that some people can presume things about you purely from your personal likes and dislikes.
Almost as though not wanting to keep up with all that happens in the Soaps makes you a bad and abnormal person.

I think YABU to expect your Ex to do anything other than make your hackles rise, TBH.

You gave us the main reason for the split - but you now expect him to behave differently from the tosser that annoyed you when you were together? Hmm...Unrealistic if not Unreasonable!
