"No Duh" Moments That Prove Ignorance Is NOT Bliss
Not every bulb in the drawer can be bright. Not every tool in the shed can be sharp. But these Redditors witnessed stupidity so intense that they've got us questioning everything.
1. Drumstick Dummy
This one absolutely blew my mind. My housemate, a 24-year-old post-grad student, did not realize that:
1. You needed to preheat an oven.
2. You needed to defrost frozen meat before cooking it.
3. You need to use a baking tray.
I learned this one day after I caught her lining the bottom of our oven with frozen chicken drumsticks.
2. The Anti-Clean Freak
I had to ask my roommate to please wash his hands after touching raw chicken. He was cool to just...go about his day before I asked. He thought I was being a wacko neat freak.
The same guy also thought his sheets wouldn’t fit in the washing machine, so he just...never washed them. He also said I had too many house rules.
3. At Least She Greased
One time, my roommate decided to make brownies from a box. The box instructions say “grease the bottom of an 8x8 pan before pouring in the brownie batter.” I couldn't believe what she did. She picked up the 8x8 pan, flipped it over, greased the BOTTOM of it, and then flipped it back over and poured in the brownie batter.
4. The True Villains to Adulting
My friend who was pushing 40 had literally never paid a bill before. She had gone from living with her parents, to living in a dorm, to living with her parents again until she got married. Then she got divorced and was living on her own for the first time. I got a text from her asking if my power was out too...then she realized it was just her. Her reasoning stunned me.
Her excuse was she never paid attention to the bills because she thought they were "receipts" and that the cost was included in her rent. Her water was cut off a couple of weeks later, and we had to talk about that, too.
