Why is it that when talking about Philosophy, people often come accross as arrogant?

Also, how can this be avoided?

I've noticed a general attitude on the part of non-philosophers that because philosophy concerns topics which everyone ostensibly cares about and even talks about to some degree (the nature of right and wrong, what's the true nature of reality, etc.) that expertise in the actual discipline of philosophy doesn't necessarily qualify you as knowing more than the average person. Therefore philosophers tend to be perceived as arrogant much more than, say, hard scientists, or even social scientists, where the general public seems to tend to assume that the expert actually *is* more qualified to speak about these particular topics than them (generally speaking).
