The eternal cycle of mathematical martyrdom! You meet someone new, engage in pleasant conversation, and then the fatal mistake—you bring up that the sum of all positive integers (1+2+3+4+...) somehow equals -1/12. Their facial expression shifts to pure horror as you launch into Ramanujan summation and analytical continuation while they plot their escape route. Nothing clears a room faster than explaining how an obviously divergent series can equal a negative fraction. Just another day in the life of a math enthusiast who can't read social cues but can absolutely regularize an infinite series.
