People who take pride in ignorance.
I don't want this to sound like I'm enraged by ignorant people... no. I'm enraged by people who KNOW they're ignorant, and take pride in it- to the extent of acting like knowing something is actually a bad thing.

Bonus points for, "Did you know that ---?" "No, I was out having a life when that was being taught. *smirk*" And I'm not talking about arcane snippets of knowledge here. One of my flatmates can't cook pasta. Like, dried pasta. She asked me how to do it and when I explained that she should put it in boiling water, she said, "Oh. I thought you'd know. It's not like you ever eat out or go on dates, is it?"*

Grrr!

*for the inevitable smart-ass: Yes, I do, and probably with your mum.

Did she have servants to do it for her?

Also, am I right in thinking most folk who think like that are stuck in dead-end telesales or IT support jobs?

And the ones that aren't are on reality television
Which is the main reason I hate it.

I wonder why they never get anywhere.

I hope not, since I work in an IT support job that is also dead end, yet share the dislike for anyone priding themselves on their ignorance.

Please be cautions of forming an opinion of someone based on their occupation.

I think her mum cooked for her before uni.
She lived for an entire term on pizza. It's actually amazing how many first year students don't know how to boil an egg.

Nah, didn't want to deal with the inevitable poisoning.
Plus I'm the flat senior, so I'm supposed to look after the first years and not drop kick them off the roof or anything. As is my understanding.

Drench it in oil and stick it in the microwave.

and her butler opens them.
