making what you "think someone wants" is not the same as what someone "actually wants"

sort of like giving someone a birthday present that they don't want, but you want them to have so you can play with it.
and then getting annoyed when they "aren't grateful" or "don't thank you"

Yes, but they can lie under some circumstances.

A Whole Foods representative told Business Insider that the cake "was intended to be a dessert for the breaking of the fast meal."



Lighten up, folks.

I can chuckle about this. What I can't chuckle about is the array of items the grocery stores put in the "international aisle" or special endcaps every time there is a Jewish holiday.
You know exactly what I mean.

I thought the cake looked too busy. Also the border of the cake looked like teeth!
I'm not offended. Amused though.

That's why people should typically ask before assuming.
