What's an innocent misconception about your hobby/profession that drives you up the wall?

Like for example, how someone thinks because you work in IT you can fix their TV, or how if you're into music you must be able to play any random instrument.

I just like hearing pros rant about about their very niche problems.

Whenever people find out I have a math degree, they tell me how bad they are at math. They seem almost proud about it. Nobody ever brags about being bad at English. They also assume I’m really good at arithmetic or counting, a la Rain Man or something. I am not.

What's 1+1?

If 1>0 and 1<2
Then 1+1>0+0 and 1+1<2+2
So we know that 0<1+1<4
Thus, 1+1 has to be 1,2, or 3.
More cannot be surmised with the given information.
