Recently I was out with a friend and this happened:
Me: "The girls at work keep calling my hair mermaid hair and I keep wanting to correct them -"
Her, interrupting: "Because mermaids don't have black hair."
Me, annoyed at being interrupted: "No, because obviously I'd be a forest elf. I'm pretty sure if there are mermaids, they could have black hair.'
Her, acting like an authority on the subject: "No, mermaids don't have black hair."
It's the air of authority that struck me as both funny and dumb.
