Yeah, some of them are just "trained monkeys" basically. But I like Carlin's quote about playing the blues, "it's not that you know the right notes to be played, it's that you know why they need to be played."

@Tldfonat I think it's better to leave them in their normal year and just let them grow into incredibly talented...

I had a kid in a class I taught when I was a PhD student and he was nice but so entirely unable to connect with people that I felt bad for him. He'd come to my office hours (which coincided with lunch hours) just to eat with someone. He had no one who really shared similar interests with him. I kept thinking that this kid needed to be with other nerdy kids his age.

What I find happens with them is they get a BSc but aren't really employable, so they go and earn an MSc and then a PhD and then work in industry on the R&D side of the house. They aren't really fit to teach; they aren't really fit to conduct academic research, so they wind-up in industry, often with no route into leadership.

Honestly, it sounds terrible.

@bitemy Even the most intellectually gifted of savants I've been lucky to meet were never as remarkable as advertised...

Like sure, you've got a degree at 15, now what? Are you going to immediately go into full time work? Repeatedly do degree after degree?

Watching movies in the dark is the worst, amirite?
People who obsess over getting "the authentic experience" when traveling are more annoying than people who shamelessly embrace being tourists. amirite?
@freq432 I totally agree. When I was in Rome I did all the "tourist trap" things. Coliseum, Vatican, Forum, Pantheon...

If it's my first time in the city I'm doing all the tourist stuff forsure but 2nd and 3rd time I'm doing more low key stuff

After being a bartender for years, bachelor parties disgust me. amirite?

The phrase "think about it" is a garage phrase that everyone should throw away when writing or speaking persuasively. amirite?

"Think about it" and then proceeds to explain why you're wrong.

Auto flush toilets are incredibly annoying, amirite?

Agreed. Especially in those stalls where you have to parkour to get around the stall door, the toilet will flush on its own at get droplets of "poo water" everywhere.

People who don't accept gifts are just as annoying as people who expect gifts. amirite?

I'm happy to receive a gift from my wife, my friends, my family members but overly generous gifts, particularly from men I don't know well, make me feel uncomfortable.

@Mcgee0 This is correct. However, if I know a friend/family close to me uses a certain love language, I will cheerfully...

That's good. It seems OP read the book to learn how to be loved, not how to read and respond to other people's language.

Enemies to lovers is the worst romance trope, amirite?
