Stating the obvious

Hi. I'm a human, and I'm currently typing. I have a name, and I live in a place, on a planet. It's probably the same planet that you're on. Jesus Christ, stating the obvious! What a nightmare. Well, not necessarily. The above example was deliberately prickish and unnecessary, but sometimes, in fact probably most of the time, stating the obvious is done because it needs to be done. If I state the obvious, I'm either being sarcastic (NOT the lowest form of wit) or am having to be patronising like this because you're acting so incredibly stupid and ignorant that the only way of getting an idea through to your head is by being basic, blunt, and ruthlessly clear. Got it? Good. Don't get me wrong, I hate it when someone states the obvious to put you down, and to make you look like shit. I get this a lot, and it's probably because I'm asking for it. But...then again, though I see it like this, come to think of it, I almost certainly deserve it. I need to be shown up, because I too often act like an arsehole. Long live stating the obvious, and long live the immensely frustrating art of being patronising, because some day I reckon it'll finally fully get into my thick skull, and I'll improve as a person.
