25 Seemingly Obvious Things We Totally Sick and Tired of Explaining

We spend a fair amount of our lives explaining different things. Be honest: aren't you getting a bit sick of it?


If you're also tired of explaining simple things to even simpler people, you'll understand the pain of these things we never want to explain again!

1.

Silicone and latex are two completely different materials.-u/MajorHotLips

2.

That I need time for myself. Like, it's not that I need time away from you. I just need time with me.-u/R0ttenHeimer

3.

My eyes are insanely sensitive to light. Sunlight & fluorescent. LED, CFL, & incandescent above maybe 40 watts. Phones, computer screens, TVs.So I’m not wearing the sunglasses inside because I’m hungover or on drugs or trying to look super cool. I’m wearing them inside so I don’t think about gouging my eyes out every 3 minutes.-u/ghosts-go-boo

8.

Before I got my current job a month ago, I only had about 6 other interviews over the course of 5 months. At most of them, the recruiter would always be so confused about why I've lived in so many places and it was so annoying and weird. I was a military kid, my parents moved when I was in college and now I live in a completely different state from them because that's where my fiance ended up. I don't really understand why that's confusing. People move more often now than they ever have.-u/cihojuda

9.

That I can produce quick work, or quality work. You can’t have both. Got sick of explaining this to the same people over and over… so I quit my job and got a better one.-u/AutoCAD_Bane
