A Leave Me Alone, I Know What I'm Doing post.

Your dad stands behind you while you parallel park. "Bit more. Bit more. Little bit more." You were already in the space. You are now on the pavement. You've made this lasagne forty times. Your flatmate wanders in, lifts the foil and asks if it's meant to be that colour. It is. It always has been. You check the recipe anyway. The IT guy watches you type your password, says "oh, you do it like that" and walks off. You've done it like that since 2016. You now doubt every key. The satnav says turn left. Your passenger says "I'd go right, personally." You and the satnav share a silent moment. **How it came about:** leading the 2012 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix for Lotus, Kimi Räikkönen was being fed gaps by his engineer and snapped back "Just leave me alone, I know what I'm doing." He then won - his first win since returning to Formula 1 - and Lotus had the line on T-shirts within days. **Why it caught on:** Räikkönen almost never said anything, so the one time he did, it was perfect: a whole personality in seven words. It's the answer everyone wants to give the person reading instructions over their shoulder.
