Know It Alls Tried Schooling These People And Epically Failed
It can be so frustrating when someone talks to you as if you’re a little kid. However, it’s even more infuriating when they talk to you like you’re a child about a topic that you know a whole lot more about than they do. For the most part, it’s best to be gracious and simply humor someone – even if they made an assumption that you’re dumb. When they combine this fact with being an unpleasant person overall, it can be difficult to keep from teaching them a lesson. Here we have some experts in a variety of fields who’ve recently taken to the internet to share stories about times know-it-alls decided to lecture them. They all ended up getting a little lesson of their own instead.
55. Do You Know What India Even Is
It seems like ‘mansplaining’ has no limits to it. This woman experienced this first-hand. A man decided to explain to her that she’d never been to India despite the fact that she spent 6 months there. These two had an unfortunate meeting in a bar. “we found a mutual love of travel, so I mentioned I loved my time in India and he told me NO woman could possibly enjoy traveling there, therefore I’ve never been.” We can’t even begin to understand the logic behind this thought. She continued, “any attempt to convince him (relaying my past itineraries for example) was just me “trying to impress him”.” The story doesn’t end there. Later on, his friends apologized to her. Yet he still felt the need to go on. “He started trying to quiz me on the geography of the country but his knowledge was actually super basic so I easily answered every question and he got mad about that and still insisted he knew more than me about my own travel history.”

This person went through a similar, rather awkward experience. “As a grad student, I taught an undergrad class on Shakespeare. On syllabus day, we were going over the books we’d be reading at the end of the semester. I made some Iago parrot joke and a freshman decided to explain to me that in Othello, there is actually a character named Iago.” We can practically feel the professor’s internal eye roll from here. “He explained that the character is the main protagonist and not a parrot. He then went on to explain how Disney uses Shakespeare in their films, but that doesn’t mean that these are the same stories and so I should remember reading the book always comes above watching the movie.” After all that, the professor’s brilliant joke went right over the student’s head.
