Do you find it irritating when somebody is trying to teach you something you already know?

Question

I do! Especially since I wasn't born yesterday, and the odds are, I most likely knew about what they are educating me on before they were potty trained!

Answer 1

i sure hate when that happens!!

Answer 2

My husband went to Breena Bible college,and I have to ask him a lot of questions. about the Bible. ,so sometimes I feel

like I could get upset with myself. because,I had already learned the passage ,but had forgot where to find it in the Bible.Thank God he has patients.I may make him feel that way. sometimes too.

Answer 3

Yes. I don't think anyone likes to have their intelligence underestimated.

Answer 4

I have a friend who does that.  I sometimes look at him when he is doing this and wonder, "are you trying to convince me or yourself?"

Answer 5

as long as he/she is much wiser beyond my years (im only 16) eg teachers. but if he/she is like a 7 yr old explaining to me that the world is round, i would find that quite irritating seeing that he's got a loooong way to go before he discovers what i havent...

Answer 6

Yes, it is so frustrating. It is often the young thinking that anyone who is older hasn't got any little grey cells left.

Answer 7

I sometimes do, but usually I still learn something about it...if anything, I learn patience.

Answer 8

YES! AND YES!

i agree with you!

most one thing that bother me is , when they keep telling me over and over and i kept asking them why are you keep telling me this over and over?!?

they said it because you are deaf!

Answer 9

Especially when they are condescending and assume you DON'T know it......

Answer 10

Especially when you let them know you know and they continue with their unneeded "lesson."  So irritating.

Answer 11

Ye gods yes! especially when you are a lot older than them and they seem to be really enjoying explaining minor details that you have pointed out they really don't need to tell you about grrrrrr!!

Answer 12

Aggressive teaching or lecturing is unpleasant . Being subordinate socially is part of young life. The mental block it creates prevents real learning in each minute of the day. As you mature you are able to put all people into bins and learn more about their type by listening to the exact vocabulary used. There is peace however once we know the motivation for the lecturing. The mask of a leader is hard to define until experience allows it..
