One of mine (I have many yay neurodivergece) is when people say the phrase “a broken clock is right twice a day”. The phrase is actually “a stopped clock is right twice a day.” A clock that is stopped will definitely be right twice a day but a clock that is broken could be right multiple times a day or not at all depending on how it’s broken. Maybe it’s just a little slow running in which case it’ll never be right. Maybe it’s spinning wildly out of control so it’ll be right a lot but still useless.

It annoys the shit outta me and it is so dumb it definitely should not. Anyway your turn.

    similarly, wanting me to make a choice when I have no information or influence on budget, timing, etc. If our budget is $10 and I don’t know if it’s $2 or $50, I have no idea what an appropriate suggestion will be.

    I was meeting a new friend the other day and we had to pick a spot. I texted, wherever you want, and she replied, anywhere you want. So I picked a normal coffee shop in a central location. She replied: what are you, rich, lol, how about the beach?
