Don't Assume I'm Straight

Yes I look straight, but looks can be deceiving.

You think you know me so well. We've lived together for 10 years. You walk through me a dozen times a day. You cook your meals here, wash your dishes. You visit me in the morning to get your coffee, and late at night for a midnight snack. And all along you've never thought to ask whether I'm straight, never measured me, you just assumed.

If you do that, you find out the hard way when your assumptions prove false.

PS: Don't assume the tile cutter is straight, either. Sure, it looks like it cuts at a 90 degree angle, but how can you be sure it isn't 89.5, or 91?

Ha! We made that assumption with our house... similar results. :) The good thing is that with such rustic/multi colored tiles, nobody will notice!
