I'm guilty of it too. I got tricked by some pipes, not even a person, the last couple of days. We've had a leak, and the landlord is taking ages to fix it. Due to various occurrences, I was convinced it was an out-pipe and water leaving the sink and the bath was leaking out. I believed this for over 24 hours. It wasn't until I finally investigated further and checked exactly where the pipe went that I found out it was an in-pipe, and had nothing to do with water going out the sink or bath.
