As a copywriter and voice-over artist, I've learned about all sorts of odd topics over the years. For example, you could quiz me on the benefits of 3D-printed clear aligners, or the ins and outs of painting a wall, and I'd probably impress both the dentist and the painter. 

I might know more about herbs and vitamins than the hippie down at the local herbal shop, and I could likely diagnose and suggest treatments for gastrointestinal issues better than many doctors. 

If you happen to have a Siemens MRI machine in your garage that's gone a bit grumpy on you, I'll probably know how to repair it. 

And after creating and voicing hundreds of hours for cybersecurity companies, I’m probably more paranoid than anyone you know, unless you're friends with some Mr. Robot types. 

Most of this information is pretty useless outside my job, but while I was writing 2000 words about Invisalign for a website by heart and getting feedback that the company wanted to use it to "

, I realized just how much random stuff I know far too much about. 

What are some of the strangest or most "pointless" topics you’ve become an "expert" in through your work? 

I suffer from odontofobia and may shake uncontrollably if I smell latex gloves. All dental knowledge is purely theoretical. I'm not a licensed tech qualified to repair your Siemens MRI machine (and if you own one, may I also suggest speaking to your local clinical psychologist). My painting skills are on par with my toddler son (for confirmation, consult the wife). I certainly don't believe in herbal medicine, and I will not be your IT guy.
