How do you know that?

    Isn't it annoying when this happens? You're having a conversation with a few friends, you make a good point, and one of them tries to take it away from you by saying "how did you know that?". All of a sudden you feel as though people are now more interested in you than what ye were talking about, or the point you made.

    On the one hand you feel like saying "aren't I allowed to know a few things from my time here on earth". In fact mostly I'm surprised at how little people know. Or I could say "I forget"? There are many things that we know that we can't remember where we first learned them, but in a situation as described, that wouldn't be believable.

    But on the other hand, if I appear to know a good deal about something that I haven't been known to have an interest in, then it might seem as a bit of a surprise. But there are guys who are know-it-alls, who would never get questioned about how they know things.

    I have been asked a few times but never thought any more of it than a genuine surprise that anybody knew it. Don't overthink things.

    I was asked that question once when I gave someone the answer to a crossword clue. The ape in question liked to think of me as stupid and condescend to me.

    I do think it's rude unless it's very specialised knowledge, because who are they to presume the limits to your knowledge?

    That can be my retort. "It's not specialised knowledge".

    Try an airy "oh, you'd be amazed by the things I know" in a tone that implies you know all about them.

    Cheeky feckers.
