How bout when people say "I know" after everything you say...(and they don't know wtf)

I know...

how about when people say, I have a big tank its like 40 or 50 gallons or worse, I have a 150 gallon tank... I ask really what are the dimensions? and they look like I asked them to solve world hunger... and storm off saying I know how big my tank is ahole...

This has been my favorite so far: I had my hand in the piranha tank grabbing a plant that had floated up (as usual the fish were all at the other side of the tank) and this older woman came up and was like "what kind of fish do you have in there?" I responded that they were piranha and she completely freaked out and screamed "what are you doing?!? They will eat your hand right off!!!!" and physically grabbed my arm and yanked it out of the tank.

Person points at a random fish(cichlid,tetra etc)And says
"what a nice looking goldfish"

"I used to keep oscars,did you know theyre related to pirana"

"you dont have to feed bettas they eat peace lilly roots"

"Fish wont outgrow a tank,they stop growing so they can fit in any tank you put them in"

"don't worry about my tank size, I dump my fish in the river when they get too big"

The worst thing I have ever heard, a guy came into the fish store with his girlfriend showing off with all his "knowleadge". They were looking at a big Clown Loach we have instock (12" long and he is stunning as). The loach was doing his thing and laying on his side in his piece of PVC pipe.

Girlfriend;
"look, he's sleeping"

Boyfriend;
"Thats a catfish, and it looks like its dieing"

I know it's off topic,but I had to ask - how much is a Clown that size where you are?

"Look! A Nemo fish!!"I swear, if I hear one more person call those things a Nemo fish...

I onced yelled at a kid and explaind that they are clown fish. I said in these exact words...
Me: "These are not effin nemo's. They are clown fish! Get it through your head!"
Him: " Hey mum, look at this dory!"
Me:
I feel like I was going to explode.
