Bored.

I'm trapped against my will in the Medbay and it's so excruciatingly dull that the only thing I'm able to do right now to entertain myself is reflect on the fact that there are talking ponies on this ship that are capable of grasping objects when they're not in possession of opposable thumbs.

Someone say something that isn't tedious.

A strange assumption, when there are humans whose occupations are only to do so.

I have no qualms about pointing out the ignorance or incompetence of others, and people can become resentful at being made to feel inadequate.

Some also incorrectly view me as an amateur. They wonder why a civilian would take such an interest in criminal investigation and mistake my enthusiasm for the challenge of it as something other than what it is. It doesn't help that there were a few occasions where I was able to discern things that only the killer would know, because of my intellect and expertise.

Do you do this, not expecting resentment?

[Because there's no way Sherlock can make 'pointing out incompetence' sound considerate.]

The resentment, I expect.

The accusations of murder and kidnapping, on the other hand, are somewhat excessive.
