<p>Here are 20 things you&#8217;ll hear a history buff say on a regular basis, that no one else cares about:</p>
<p>1. &#8220;We&#8217;re not going anywhere until I read the plaque in front of this monument&#8221;<br />
 ;</p>
<p>2. &#8220;If this is a renaissance fair, why is everyone dressed for the high middle ages?&#8221;<br />
 ;</p>
<p>3. &#8220;How many questions about the 1940&#8217;s can I ask this old person without annoying them?&#8221;</p>

<p> ;</p>
<p>4. &#8220;Everyone seems ready to leave the museum, but we’ve only been here 6 hours.&#8221;<br />
 ;</p>
<p>5. &#8220;I hope the ghosts are dressed in historically accurate attire in this &#8216;haunted&#8217; castle.&#8221;<br />
 ;</p>
<p>6. &#8220;Gender equality, racial equality, and class equality are not new concepts. Discussions about these are as old as civilization.&#8221;<br />
 ;</p>
<p>7. &#8220;I wish we were still sending letters instead of texting.&#8221;<br />
 ;</p>
<p>8. &#8220;No, <a href="https://allthatsinteresting.com/benjamin-franklin-facts" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Benjamin Franklin</a> did not come up with up that 4,000-year-old proverb.&#8221;</p>

<p> ;</p>
<p>9. &#8220;Most people didn’t actually think the world was flat.&#8221;<br />
 ;</p>
<p>10. &#8220;Names and dates aren’t as important as the historical context and significance of events.&#8221;<br />
 ;</p>

<p>11. &#8220;But I still want to know all the names and dates.&#8221;<br />
 ;</p>
<p>12. &#8220;In relation to the rest of the world, nothing in post-Columbian American history is all that old.&#8221;<br />
 ;</p>
<p>13. &#8220;Antiques are not &#8216;junk&#8217;. They’re treasures.&#8221;<br />
 ;</p>
<p>14. &#8220;Fantasy is not the same as medieval history.&#8221;</p>

<p> ;</p>
<p>15. &#8220;The destruction of the Library of Alexandria still hurts to think about.&#8221;<br />
 ;</p>
<p>16. &#8220;Modern self-help books are just repeating wisdom from 2,500 years ago.&#8221;<br />
 ;</p>
<p>17. &#8220;Why is everyone making fun of the Civil War reenactment? These people are cool.&#8221;<br />
 ;</p>
<p>18. &#8220;I need to stop metal-detecting in people&#8217;s lawns or they&#8217;ll call the police.&#8221;<br />
 ;</p>
<p>19. &#8220;I wonder if I should bring my lute to the party tonight? Yes, yes I should.&#8221;<br />
 ;</p>
<p>20. &#8220;Memes aren&#8217;t new, they&#8217;re just the latest incarnation of etching jokes into stone tavern walls.&#8221;</p>
