For me it's time signatures in music. I grew up playing instruments, played in several orchestras, etc. But no matter how many times someone tries to explain time signatures to me, it makes no sense. I don't understand why people place such importance on it. To me, notes have a pitch and a duration, maybe some dynamics. That's it. I don't understand why people try to needlessly complicate it. It doesn't give you anything.

My wife will hear a song and go "Oh neat, it's in 5/8." And I'm like "How tf do you know that, and why does it matter?"

Press accelerate until the engine reaches ~1200-1500 rpm and hold this position no matter what. Now release the clutch slowly, until the car just barely starts moving. At this point you might have the urge to let go of the clutch completely, but no - keep holding the clutch in this position for 2-3 seconds more and then let go. Your car won't stall.
