Isn’t it funny when you’re so close to something that other people’s lack of knowledge about it seems preposterous?
Like when your co-worker comes up to your desk in the year 2010 and asks, “Have you heard of this band Radiohead?”
Or when you overhear a guy dining at the finest restaurant in the city ask the waiter if the oysters can be left off of their signature dish.
Or when you read a blog post in which a woman goes to see the movie version of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, one of your favourite books of all time, and writes:
I was tearing like a silly woman at some point whereas my hubby was holding up his chin and trying hard to keep himself awake with the pop corn. The story about a boy who lost his father in 911 is sentimental but rather slow moving. I think it’s probably not a movie for men who usually enjoy comedies and action.
Have you ever seen someone so entirely miss the point?
Yes, I have a superiority complex.
