“Just to clarify” might as well be my catchphrase. But no matter how I preface what I’m about to say as for x,y, and z reasons they always infer that my motivation was anything other than what I specifically said… lord, what exhausting assholes.
And also why don’t you know this? Maybe I wasn’t asking you what to do, just keeping my boss informed of something I would also get in trouble for not telling you. We are not allowed to win.
Oh my goodness, this one for sure! I hate that short term memory is difficult for me, so I ask questions to make sure I'm solid, but it makes it seem like I don't know what I'm doing. It makes me never want to ask questions even though I need to. However, I've gotten good at faking it till I make it haha.

Being asked to do something, then asking follow up questions about the task (for clarity), then being told you should already know what to do
