How about when you're expected to say/do things that make sense 24/7? No slip-ups allowed.

@rinkydinkydoink No idea who that might be or what slip-up he committed. But if someone expects educated people to never make mistakes then the downside is in that someone's lack of education.

He's a former mayor of NYC. He is no longer relevant (so bad choice on my part).

I expect my surgeon to be perfect!

@rinkydinkydoink I expect my surgeon to be good, to be attentive to my welfare, to be as good as is necessary. Expecting surgeons or anyone else to be perfect simply reduces the number of people who will take up the profession which means that only the wealthy will be able to afford their services.
