Please elaborate

This is a thread for all the times you come across someone acting arrogant, and condescending. Whenever someone laughingly says, "I can't believe you don't know that". I'm not mad that I don't know, I'm just mad when people like that basically say they know (and in a place with multiple people that say they don't get it) and don't even bother to elaborate. If you don't make your point then you're just being a pretentious troll.

I can't believe the grammatical error in this thread title.

What error? Please elaborate.

What you wrote means "You are arrogance makes me sick," since "you're" is "you are" with the apostrophe replacing the [a]. "Your" indicates a possession, such as "your house" or "your arrogance."

Generally, I think the reason they don't elaborate is that explanations take a long time and can be pretty involved, so, unless someone specifically asks, they may not really fit in a conversation.

I think it may be acceptable to not elaborate immediately. But there are ways to do it and if they're being jerks about it or laughing or making fun of it....:smallyuk:

This is true, I don't expect people to elaborate on everything, but if all you're going to contribute is a vague anecdote that suggests something obvious (and yet no one gets it :smallsigh:) then don't.

To be fair, if the vague anecdote is of something one finds genuinely obvious, one may actually not even realize that no one gets it after it has been, even opaquely, pointed out.
