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!
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
4.
That the animals in my care are rescues, and that I did not inflict the injuries/illnesses they have on them.-u/LizardPossum
5.
The difference between a debit card vs. a credit card. Yea I have to explain this to adults on a daily basis.-u/Ihavenogoodusername
7.
Surrounds and rears are 2 different speaker locations and neither of them go into the ceiling.-u/Anbucleric
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
10.
Red Green color blindness. Now when it comes up instead of playing the “what color is this?” game I have a picture on my phone that illustrates how different color visions see things.-u/firenamedgabe
11.
That just because I don't talk to people, doesn't mean I'm lonely. I'm perfectly fine being alone with myself. Alone does not equal lonely.-u/Eh_Its_Ok_I_Guess
15.
The difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. As a type 1 diabetic, I get asked this all the time or people confuse type 1 with type 2. They’re very different diseases.-u/Dumbledore27
16.
Why I’m deaf. Or how I became deaf. Or having to repeatedly explain that using your mouth to communicate doesn’t work.-u/Wit-Hoid6674
17.
Why we don't have kids.Whether or not we want kids is no one's business, and the fact that we're probably not able to is even less so.-u/candlecrusher
18.
That being neat and organized, or being “germaphobic” does not equal having OCD.-u/SnickasTheRaccoon
20.
The logical fallacy of "denying the antecedent."(Basically, "if A then B" does not mean "if B then A" - it means "if not B then not A".)-u/Cyborg_Ninja_Cat
22.
Introverted means that you get mentally exhausted around people, but energized when on your own. It DOES NOT mean that you are shy or socially anxious.-u/Scallywagstv2
23.
That evolution is simply a change in allele frequency over time and that there is no “end goal”. So many people don’t understand the basic concept but choose not to believe it.-u/good_god_lemon1
