13. Time for a talk

I’ve recently had to explain to someone in their twenties what sexually transmitted diseases are. This person had no idea.

14. Wasteful

My current roommate has no idea how to shop for groceries/manage the food he has already bought. Now, we live about a 3 minute walk from a pretty large grocery store, so food shopping is by no means inconvenient. His food is constantly rotting in the fridge; when he orders out he leaves the leftovers in the fridge until they have to be thrown away; he currently has 3 half-eaten bags of chips. He probably ends up throwing away $100 worth of food every month.

15. Simple Math

Giving tip! My friends are sweet and DO tip, but figuring out 10% or 20% is like rocket science to them. – Move the decimal over, BOOM. 10%. Need 20%? Double that.

16. I have a feeling this is pretty common…

I was asking my chemistry teacher about something in high school, junior year, a few years back and a girl was behind me with her student notebook out. I knew she probably wanted to go to the bathroom so I told her to go ahead and she gave her notebook to the teacher to sign her a hall pass but he handed it back because it was blank and asked her to write the date and time. She turned around and stared at the analog clock for about 10 seconds and said ‘I can’t tell time’.

17. Blinds

I had an ex-girlfriend that still couldn’t figure out how to open/close blinds. She was 23.

18. Show me!

Roommate once asked where the stamp goes on the letter he was sending.

19. She probably dumped him

I have one friend who is ridiculous with this kind of thing. He’s 28, and the most notable thing I remember is that he was planning to buy a bouquet of tulips for a girl a week before his date, because he thought they didn’t die. His reasoning was that they stay alive all summer in the ground.

20. Boom

My wife, lighting her cigarette in my gas-leaking Jeep after asking why it smells like gas in here.

21. Old folks

You are 70 years old; I refuse to believe that you do not yet understand the concept of promptly paying for your purchases. That has been the name of the game for over 20 years now.

22. The blender?!?

Had to teach my 20 year old girlfriend how to grate cheese. She said her mom just put it in the blender. It made me sad to think about all of those taco nights without properly grated cheese.

23. Showed him

My 23 year old brother and I bought one of those big jugs of iced tea powder and he asked me, “So, do you just dump the whole thing in and add the water?”. I said yes. Priceless.

24. Technical terms

My boyfriend cannot understand anything but the exact time in exact numbers. If you say “quarter after 4” he has no idea what you’re talking about. Also, refuses to learn.

25. Ha!

My mom can’t remember whether blue or red is associated with hot or cold. When she’s in the car and wants to turn on the air conditioning, she just randomly sets the dial to one side or the other and waits for the air to come on to see whether she’s right or not.
