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
