In many contexts, details and specificity are good. For example, I don’t want McDonald’s to mess up my burger order since I want to enjoy my rare guilty pleasure. But too much specificity can sometimes become suspicious, like when someone’s excuse sounds just too rehearsed and detailed or when someone denies doing something bad way too fervently.
There is a subreddit that collects online posts that are just a tad too specific — “Suspiciously Specific.” Sometimes, folks just give too many unnecessary details. Other times, their attempts to look innocent backfire spectacularly due to excessive insistence and denial. If the “Don’t be suspicious” meme from Parks and Rec could be a subreddit, it would most definitely be this one.
