23. Why Can’t People Admit They Don’t Know?
This person was working as a lifeguard when one day they saw an old woman drop a gopher tortoise in the water. They fished it out and yelled at her for dropping it in the water. This conversation happened next: “This is not a sea turtle!” I said. “These guys do not belong in the ocean!” “Yes, they do! They’re turtles and they live near water. That’s not a tortoise, that’s a sea turtle!” “You see his back feet? See how they’re stumpy and not fins? See how this guy has a small horn right here and a dome shell? Sea turtles have flat shells and flippers that don’t have claws. This guy obviously has claws. I’ve raised these kinds of tortoises for over 18 years and I can tell you that this is a gopher tortoise, which is a protected species here.” “No! That’s a turtle!” “Wrong. A turtle would have swam off and I wouldn’t have him in my hands. What you did to this tortoise constitutes multiples felonies. Drop another tortoise in the water and I’ll make sure you get arrested.”

22. I Know Money Stuff
While this person isn’t exactly an expert, they do have a degree in economics. All the time, their friends and family will rant about the economy without the slightest idea of what they’re actually saying and talking about. This person has had to correct them many, many times over. However, as time went by, this person simply started giving up on the cause since it was pointless and they weren’t listening anyway.
