Sometimes people can be weird. We have all been in a situation where something obvious had to be explained to us by another person. Despite being smart and all grown up sometimes every single one of us have those moments. In the post below we have gathered some of the very best situation where people can’t believe what they had to explain to another adult. You can read the whole discussion on Reddit.

1. The babies

There is an old joke stating that the first baby after marriage comes quicker and the other are taking 9-10 months to develop. So, maybe the case here is that the person believed the joke.

2. The turtles

To create a camo pattern you will really have to buy multiple cans of paint tinted differently. You can’t have a camo color in the same can.

5. North and South poles

10. The borders of the states

Well, when I was little I thought exactly the same – the borders are visible from the sky, as on the map. The first time I realized that they are not visible is when I first flew when I was like 20.

11. The islands

The islands don’t tip over if you put too much weight on the edge, because they are not floating on the water. It could happen if they were floating though.

12. The chicken

Rare and medium rare chicken in fact does exist, but it needs a special preparation which takes a long time. Maybe these people have read somewhere (just like me) that it’s delicious and that’s why they asked for it.

13. The Office Depot

By law you can’t be printing any bills, because you can get in trouble. In some states it is allowed if you shrink or enlarge the copy, but I wouldn’t take the chances.

14. The penguins

This person had to explain his teacher that penguin was a bird. Yes, they are flightless birds. It is an often mistake.

15. The rooms

16. The submarines

Most people say “if I don’t see it, it is not real” and it’s really hard to see a submarine. Maybe this was the case here.

17. The pasta

Yes, to make pasta you will have to boil the water for a while. Most people who haven’t cooked pasta don’t really know this.

18. The travel to Hawaii

Well, at first it may look like a good idea, but in order for your sheets to get dry, they will need some air otherwise they will get mold.

21. The rain

Well, it does make sense, but unfortunately nature does not work like that. It is basically unpredictable.

Pickles are actually kind of cucumbers. It may sound strange to you, but they are.

Most people always complain and skip work every chance they have. It is good to understand that if you skip work every single time you will not get payed for the days off.

25. The calories

Those kind of drinks actually does have a lot of calories, because of the sugar it’s made from.

26. The dish soap

30. The eggs

Not everybody I know likes eggs. So, it’s kind of personal choice.

31. The elevator

Well, it sounds kind of logical, but it works in a different way. If you want to go up, you press the up button and if you want to press down, you press the down button.

32. Halloween

Well, this was a trend when I first saw that Halloween this year will be Friday the 13th. When you think about it it can’t really happen, because Halloween is at the end of October.
