I had a 25 year old ask me how to peel a banana a few years ago.

When I was in boot camp, some kid put his letter addressed to ‘mom’ with no address attached.

At a national park, the park ranger says “stay on the trails, there are bears in the area.” One lady says “isn’t that dangerous? Why aren’t they in their cages?” “Ma’am, we’re not a zoo.”

When my girlfriend said to me that she was going to easily work 3 jobs at the same time we were in Highschool at the time

Listening to a faulty new car story when it turned out the woman (42) was driving for 7 months with the hand brake on the whole time.

A student working part time at my laboratory at a University came into my office and asked “so what all can I eat in the refrigerator, I didn’t know I was supposed to bring my own lunch”. I looked at him, stunned and replied “nothing, that food is what people brought for their own lunch, but you can use my grub hub to order”. He DID NOT UNDERSTAND. It took 4 tries to get him to realize he can’t just eat someone else’s lunch. Same student: I walked into the lab room and told him I made a full pot of coffee in the office and he could help himself. Him: “a pot of coffee? What’s that?” He never used a coffee maker other than a Kuerig before and didn’t even know it was a thing. He was fired a month later for stealing chloroform.

When looking for somewhere to rent after university halls, one of my mates was annoyed because he didn’t like the lounge in the house his parents BOUGHT HIM OUTRIGHT to live in.

My boss told me about a friend of his, who told him af a “life hack”. She would get her bills in the mail, NOT pay them, and then wait a couple of months to pay. Then she would cry so the debt collectors would feel bad and waive the fees for not paying on time. That was her “brilliant life hack”

When my roommate, who never once paid for rent or groceries or anything, turned down the only job offer they have ever gotten, in front of me, TWICE. They were so desperate they called him twice, offering good pay, during covid, and he had the gal to say no in front of me. His excuse was “nah I’m sure there’s something better. $20 an hour is garbage in this city” -_-

I worked for a very sheltered and entitled Mother as a nanny. Shortly after I got hired she called me at 3am asking me to come in because the baby wouldn’t stop crying. When I said no, she responded with “but you’re the nanny!”. And that was a constant thing. At one point she got sick of breastfeeding and asked if I could start nursing. All of this was very casual too. Like she wasn’t really mean about it.

A first year college student of mine thought that assignment deadlines were guidelines. Nothing was handed in on time. She emailed me the night before her final exam to see if I’d take some of her late work. I told her hell no. She threatened to report me. I let her. She failed, got reprimanded and was eventually expelled due to plagiarism.

“It’s like free money” in response to any kind of financing or borrowing (car financing, student loans, credit cards, home equity line of credit)

They did a study and there’s a lot of people who have winning the lottery as part of their retirement plan.

I had a rich friend that asked me why I choose to shop second hand and at Walmart for clothes when there was designer shops across the road. My friend was super nice but so sheltered lol, he honestly thought it was a choice.

One of my friends fantasized about having ten kids while also being an actress. When I asked her about her kids, she said she’d just get a nanny to take care of them and that she didn’t need to worry because they’d still love her. I hope she grew out of that.

Me. I was 18 and living in my first apartment. I spent 15 minutes looking for a “button” on the trash shoot. Didn’t realize until the 3rd time that I just needed to throw the trash down. I had lived with my parents until then, and they failed to teach me a lot of basic life necessities. Love them, but man was I stupid.

My family was visiting Arlington National Cemetery and this Karen lady on our bus asked the bus driver if “there was a place to buy snacks and drinks inside the cemetery”. Driver is like “uh no…it’s a cemetery”. Then she got all pouty

A very privileged flatmate at Uni tried to put a tin can of soup in our microwave. She had never cooked for herself before. I got to the microwave before it exploded.
