Has someone ever recommended something to you, or said they just know you'll love something (a movie, or a song, or a book, or whatever), and once you actually get a look at it, you're slightly offended that they thought you'd like it?
I know this has happened to me a number of times, but I can't think of any specific examples off the top of my head. "What would make you think I'd like this AHHHH?" lol. Very occasionally, it's happened with people, too; I'm introduced to someone I've been told I'll just love, and then I'm either baffled or miffed by the certainty that I was going to love someone who I really, really don't like at all.
And it's always pretty evident the other person feels precisely the same way!
