WTF - Misconceptions

I was at the store with my wife today and she made me think about how easy it is to make a misconception about someone, even if you think you know that person very well.  I was looking for one of those double-insulated cups to take to work to help improve my daily water consumption.  We found some at the end of one of the store rows.  I chose a black cup because as any one that knows me will tell you, black is my favorite color.  My wife gave me a strange look.  I asked her did she also want a cup or what was the problem.  After some more prodding on my part, she finally asked why I chose black.  I told her because I did not want the red, the blue, the orange or the pink cup(s).  She said I should pick one with a pattern and wanted to know why I always picked black for everything.  She said that people might think I am a “dark” soul because of my preference for black.  WTF?!  Just because black is my favorite color does not make me a dark soul.  I have a very warm and friendly personality.  I get along with everyone.  That’s the problem with the world today.  We form misconceptions based on what we “think” about people rather than what we actually “know” about them.
