I wish I could, but my mom is very stubborn and won't listen to me. She honestly believes that family is right just because the parents are both professors at the University. I've had to deal with my mom being this way for many years and I've let it go, but I just reached my limit that day.

It's the worst to have people come to you that think they're much smarter just because of the job that you're working and then try to rub it in your face, only making themselves look stupider for it.

So very true, but the annoying part is, they'll never know they're actually the stupid ones.

I used to work at a bookstore and customers would assume I knew nothing about books because I was mostly up at the cash registers so a lot of them would completely discredit me if I offered any help or advice to them about anything.

Yes! This bugs me quite a lot and I'm sorry you had to go through with this horrible situation yourself.

Thanks for the kind words and support everyone.
