I remember ages at ago, at a party, someone across the kitchen made a remark to the person next to them.
‘It’s amazing how many people don’t know that the Morse code for SMS is used for mobile phone SMS ringtones.’
I thought about it for a moment (I had to compare it with the code points for SOS.) ‘Oh, yeah!’ I thought that was pretty cool.
The previous speaker glanced at me. ‘See, there’s another one.’
It made me feel so small.
Have you had an experience like mine, where the enjoyment and the fun was sucked out by some know-it-all? How did you respond? Did it make you act the same way to someone else or did you go out of your way to join in the fun?
