    Almost on a daily basis, both oral and written.

  • On a daily basis at work! It's difficult to explain medical "things" to a patient or family member that "slept at a Holiday Inn last night" and think they are a doctor. Smh.

  • All the time. At work. I can see there are several on here who cannot be reasoned with. I just don't answer their questions, or reply to their comments. Politics is a nasty topic and it isn't worth arguing as people rarely change their beliefs and opinions.

  • Yes. there are bucket loads of them... I find them fascinating.. hard to believe they really cannot reason or see logic, let alone accept facts but yep that's pretty much how they are...  they cannot seem to be fixed. I try.. but alas I am only human

    Of course. If you haven't, you haven't ventured far into the world. Heck, I have had a teacher or two like that.

    Wow, where have you been?  The answer is yes.  My step mother was the absolute worst!  She could turn everything I said around and make it negative.  I could have saved a thousand lives and she would have used that against me somehow.  This was beyond being unreasonable, it bordered on insanity.  There have been several others but not quite that bad.
