What insults your intelligence?

Joanne's FAVORITE answer:
What kind of QOTD is this? You're supposed to be a scientist.

Joanne's answer:
It definitely insults my intelligence when students try to turn in blatently plagarized work. I have had cases where two (or more!) students will turn in the EXACT SAME paper/homework assignment/sections of a paper and think I will not notice. Do I not have a Ph.D., people? How am I *not* going to notice that? WTF!?

And the other answers!

1. The QOTD.

2. Stupid sensasionalistic phrases used to try evoke a false emotional reaction rather than a logical reponse delivered by idiots who think you are as stupid as they are (AKA anyone in marketing). And a little off topic: I just generally get anoyed at the ads for the news.If there is really a horrible danger to (Pick one: a. Child b. Myself c. Furry woodland creatures d. Oprah)
lurking in the (Pick one: a.drinking water b.car c.popular tv show d.Oprah). Why the fuck are they making me wait until 10 pm to tell me what it is???

3. This is more of a pet peeve, but when i say something that someone may disagree with or something, i HATE, HATE, HATE IT when they pat me on the head. it totally insults my intelligence, as if they're patting a dog, or a little stupid child that doesn't know anything. The other thing that completely insults my intelligence is when I give my opinion about something serious, and a person laughs out loud or snickers.

4. When I was young I could have it...then I couldn't...now I can what dairy...no chocolate...

5. The way my husband talks down to me, or makes believe he doesn't hear me. Like I'm not worth listening too or talked with. Everybody has a different degree of intelligence as everyone has a different degree of common sense. Some have more of one than the other. Each person however should always respect the other person no matter what his or her case may be. Some people however really do feel they are better than others or smarter than others and the problem is sad since others can always tell when that is happening! One should NEVER degrade someone else ( or wife), NEVER!!!! Lying is also an insult to the other person. Lying is SO unecessary! Yet chronic liars never stop do they?

6. Men in the military who assume I have what I have because I'm female and don't really know anything. I probably have forgotten more about my chosen field then they will ever know because they are soooooo chauvanistic.

7. Other people.

8. A degrading tone.

9. Deception and the act of it toward me.

10. People assuming that because I'm Christian that I'm a Republican. Puh-lease!! Have you read the Bible???

11. When they put a disclaimer on the side of a child'spool that states "This is not a life saving device".
