Problems that were overhyped:
- quicksand
- people offering me drugs
- the Bermuda Triangle

Problems that I was underprepared for:
- nightly existential dread
- remembering all 17,392 passwords required to do my job
- arguing with robots about whether or not there is an unexpected item in the bagging area

@LadyDragonfly quicksand... oh my, it were everywhere when i was a lad. Or we were told it was. Yes, me too!
@LadyDragonfly just remembered the stuff near us was called "sinking mud".
