Teachers

It's a funny thing about teachers, at least some of them, they have to teach. Now their field of expertise might be Calculus, Economics, Chemistry, or even Hopscotch, but they feel compelled to teach everyone. Having a conversation about gardening? They may explain at length the value of mulch, raised beds, or fertilizer. Offer them a cup of coffee and you are regaled with how coffee beans are processed. 
Share a drive and learn about anti-lock brakes. This is always done in a patient caring way. Careful instruction is given with a lot of eye contact since surely you are not mentally capable of understanding on your own. 
OH, did I mention volleyball? Apply the above approach to volleyball and you will understand why I completely freeze and am incapable of putting one foot in front of the other when approached this way.
 I could always try tiddly winks, but I'm sure a teacher would be there.
