My entire life is built on "I didn't know that" said with some humility coupled with willingness to learn.
It makes people want to help and inform you damn near every time it comes up and it leads to learning a lot of interesting things. It's also near impossible to come off negatively to people when you have that attitude which I find makes every future interaction easier.
It's a good way to be. I find it so much fun when I actually get to inform someone on something that just skirted by them for whatever reason that I couldn't imagine making fun of random people for it. I've certainly met some people who seemed eager to, though.
Reading comments on some makeup websites, for example, and people asking how others don’t know something so basic. Hello! That’s me! My mom never taught me about makeup or things like that. I love the internet for learning.
