I definitely get feeling annoyed when someone rambles. And I get tuning out when a work presentation or a school lecture drags on. And I get feeling frustrated when a conversation or discussion is sidelined by minutiae.

But the "Um, aktuly, I don't need to listen to this because I already know the answer" shit is extremely toxic behavior that inevitably sets people up to fail. If you've ever had to deal with student drivers before, it's the way someone responds moments before they bend a fender.

Getting Overwhelmed is entirely different from Knowing The Answer In Advance.

I think you're conflating a separate issue with the phenomenon OP depicted in the meme.

You assumed wrong ... again.

The only thing you are doing is proving their point.

You understand less from the sentence being said than you think. You only assume you were correct because you also listened with half an ear to their explanation.
