You have got to be kidding?!

It's like when I went to the theatre to see The Abominable Bride and overheard someone behind me say something like 'Oh, who could remember that?' and I thought to myself, 'Oh I know about 100 fics about that.' I forgot what it was, but I still remember my reaction.

LOL. It is our curse, I fear -- our brain attics have so much room dedicated to all things Sherlockian it's hard to remember that the "average" person doesn't know the stuff we know.
