40 Times People Got Humbled Not Knowing Who They Were Actually Talking To (New Pics)
The internet is full of folks who want to act like smarty-pants. Online, anyone can be a know-it-all with a simple visit to Google and even their opinions. Granted, there are times when others get humbled by someone better informed and versed in one topic or another.
There's a group that collects such interactions, titled r/Don'tYouKnowWhoIAm. Medical, science, and other experts lurk on the internet too, waiting for their chance to put jerks in their place. So, here we present to you the newest collection of cases when folks didn't quite know they were talking with a person they were talking about. Get ready to feel some mild second-hand embarrassment!

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov -

Islam: in extreme forms, very misogynistic. Christianity: in extreme forms, very misogynistic. Two things can be true at the same time.

Well, she is the daughter of American screenwriter, novelist, and director Michael TOLKIN (yes, she knows how to spell her own surname) who wrote (amongst other things) screenplays for various TV series (Ray Donovan, Escape at Dannemora...) and films (Deep Impact, Changing Lanes...). Not to be confused with our old pal JRR who had a thing for bling and hairy feet f****h.

My brother tried to argue with me about whether there would be a train strike on the 29th of April or not. He said it was yet to be confirmed on the website. Dear reader, I work for the railway company

OOOH, I have one of those! My brother told me that my assessment of our mom's book collection was wrong. I am a book dealer. He is a historian. Yes, when mom bought those encyclopedia in 1967, they were valuable. Not in 2015.

My best friend was doing a presentation on Bosnia and Herzegovina and one of here main talking points was how it was just barely landlocked. Me and my other best friend spent weeks trying to convince her otherwise, even showing google maps. She still never conceded that Neum (Bosnian sea town) existed
