I feel like the "guy thinks he's helping his neighbour mowing his lawn without asking, when actually his neighbour is a scientist studying the growth of grass " story that was emphasized to me so much growing up simultaneously expanded my mind and also backfired giving me disproportionate decision anxiety over very unlikely scenarios.
The lesson of not assuming that is good to you is good to the next person if you are planning to interfere with their life your way is good. Ask first, is good.
But I think if used to be directly applied to me too many scenarios where the potential downside of me taking an action that feels right by my conscience is actually negligible.
And maybe it's only a problem because of my predisposition to OCD, but I do think about that story and worry about just about everything I ever do now.
