When did you wish a person or people were a little less educated?

Asked by FireMadeFlesh (16593points) May 31st, 2016

As the old cliche says, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

It is a constant struggle in my line of work to explain medical procedures to people that have consulted Dr Google, and think they know what they’re talking about. They read something that is true, but take it completely out of context. It would be easier if they understood what I do as a professional, or if they knew nothing at all. Knowing just a little makes the interaction much more challenging.

When have you wished someone knew less than what they did, or was a bit less well educated?
