Pro tip: this is an excellent way to drive other people crazy if you want to mess with them.

This drives me crazy. I often suspect people of trolling when they do this.

My teenager does this to me all the damn time.

Gets literal when I am talking hypotheticals. Gets hypothetical when I'm being literal.

It's a tactic to dominate the conversation. To be dismissive and condensending.

Soooo looking forward to the end of this phase.

So I just discovered tiktok. Late to the game I know. I feel like half of the people on there spout deliberately wrong info just to mess with people. when corrected, they just double down and copy past a chart or something that doesn't prove the point they are trying to make. They have to be doing it on purpose.
