When People use anecdotal evidence to disprove a general statement.

For example:

Person A: "People who do good in School usually earn more later in life."

Person B: "That's not true. My uncle dropped out of highschool and never had a grade above a C and he is a millionaire."

How do these people not understand outliers and general statements. It pisses me off to no end.
