I used to date this girl that was beautiful, sex was incredible, but was dumb as a rock. I could and should've been better about not wanting a relationship with her, but it's besides the point now.
I really wondered if she was a functional adult. My favorite and most extreme memory is asking her to heat some water in the kettle, and 5 seconds later thinking "she won't be able". So I silently went to the kitchen, watched her try, fail, and turn around with a wet puppy face saying "I can't do it". There's nothing weird about my stove. Gas, a lighter or a match and that's it. Countless people did it before and afterwards, I don't even have a clue how she failed.
I've met more stupid people, and it normally ranges from "I don't want to hear anything from this guy ever again" to "how the fuck are you still alive?". Most of the time, people aren't actually stupid but simply lack education.
Having to manually light the flame on your stove is pretty weird unless this story is from the 60s.
Born in the 90s and have done this plenty of times.
I mean same (80s) but that doesn’t make it normal
