My grandmother is 88 years old. Drives a Ford Mustang. Does not know how to put gas in her car. Has literally driven cars for 70 years without ever once using a gas pump. She calls me every few weeks to go over there and follow her to the gas station, so I can pump for her.

Old roommate. Laundry. Had never done it. Ever. When he moved in, all his clothes were filthy because his parents hadn’t visited in 6 months or so. And so nothing had been washed since then. Had to show him how a washer/dryer worked.

Had a roommate that didn’t know how to cook. Could only use a microwave. Making ramen on a stove was a mystery. More than once I saw him crunching his way through a half cooked packet because he didn’t get the water past warm.

8.

My college roommate asked me how to make a sandwich. Like how to actually put mayonnaise on the bread and slice a tomato. He was 22 and had recently been accepted to medical school. God help us.
