A woman trots along, minding her business, engaging in an activity she probably knows a thing or two about. Then bam, there's a man beside her saying, "Well, actually…" or "You should really try…" or "Common mistake but…" Even if they're well-intentioned, it can come across as condescending, patronizing, and well, just plain annoying. And sometimes they're even proven wrong.

Read on for the story and see just how epically she was able to shut him down.
