What's something that you get really sick and tired of having to explain to people?

That I work full-time and can’t just go to lunch on a goddamn Thursday!

Why the correct saying is "I couldn't care less about X" and not "I could care less about X"

That I'm not Russian. My mother tongue in nothing like Russian, or most other languages in Europe. Living in Soviet Union didn't make my people Russian.
We lived in our small corner way before Slavs showed up and started spreading.
We even look different.

Your formula in excel isn't working because the cell referenced is formatted as text. Every. single. day.

I guess they just pass out BAs & MAs willy nilly nowadays because I regularly have to tell people about expectations for quality and diligence of their work.

You’re combining two things that have nothing to do with each other. Plenty of people do excellent work and have no college degree at all.

Same. They gave me near daily chronic migraines. If 1 more person gaslights me, while I'm migraine-ing, and says "correlation doesn't equal causation" I'm going to lose it. It's the most obnoxious thing to tell somebody experiencing a chronic reaction that it's all in their head or coincidence. They don't know my medical history, or my parents. It's between me and my doctors. People can have reactions to food, beverages, detergent, antibiotics, pollen, smells, it's life. Get real.

Can you please explain this further? I will look at a map to understand more.

That I am Latina, even though my name doesn’t doubt it and I don’t necessarily look it.

Sound, not doubt

That innate intelligence is overrated and having a high IQ and debilitating ADHD is a prison I don’t wish on anyone.

Why would you ever be explaining this to people? Omg. Some of you. Geez.

That my declining the covid vaccine in the first place was the right choice for me, given past adverse reactions to other vaccines.

why my kids can't read menus in restaurants, have to stand so close to the TV, etc.

they all have a degenerative eye condition where they're losing their central vision. It sucks. And no one can see that they're actually disabled.

+1 Also that I'm a single parent and can't spontaneously hang out at 8PM (and probably won't want to do so when scheduled ahead of time because babysitters are expensive and I still have to get up at 6AM the next morning).

Clicked on this thread to say exactly the opposite. The people who are most successful in business and law are not necessarily the smartest. Those with innate genius-level intelligence may not be able to parlay it into being successful.

Completely agree. Intelligence has very little to do with it. Connections, opportunities, and sometimes willing to lay down your values factor in as well.

Luck and being in the right place at the right time too.

There's really not a lot of explanation needed, OP.
