Can there be like a law against contrived "oh no a character heard something that sounds bad out of context and now they're misunderstanding things" complications?
The technical term for this is "Sudden Onset Anime", which may be Acute or Chronic (cf. "Idiot Couples who always fight"). Misunderstandings, assumptions, avoidance (sometimes leading to running away), isolation, and Not Just Fucking Talking To Each Other are common symptoms of Anime.
If you think you or someone you know is suffering from Anime, slap them upside the head and tell them to stop being stupid. Anime is a silent epidemic that annoys millions each year and many experts claim it's the worst thing no one has literally died from. (Some historical epidemiologists suggest Romeo and Juliet did suffer from a terminal case of Anime, but records from the time have all been destroyed by families involved in shame over how stupid their kids were.)
