When Will People Realize?


I’ve found that the phrase “When will people realize …” usually signals that the rhetorical question to follow is so unbearably arrogant that one should just stop reading immediately. In a mere four words the questioner suggests: 1. “Everyone else is an idiot.” 2. “I alone know the truth.” 3. “You’ll all see that I’m right.” 4. “The only question is when.”

When will people realize that they shouldn’t use this phrase?


Yeah! When will people realize that others are all idiots.
