We aren't all perfect. That's a fact.

We don't all know how to do everything. That's simply impossible.

However, at a certain age, we are all expected to handle some tasks without too much difficulty to be considered full-fledged adults. These tasks include cooking a simple meal, doing our own laundry, navigating basic directions, and similar responsibilities.

By mastering these simple skills, people can be viewed as independent individuals who don't need their parents to keep cleaning up after them. Unfortunately, not everyone reaches adulthood fully equipped with these abilities.

While many of us were taught by our parents how to perform these tasks, some individuals didn't have that opportunity. Some may have been born with a silver spoon, while others might have been a bit too sheltered.

This is why important life lessons should be taught in school too, and not just assumed to be learned at home.

When you have the luxury to buy replacements for things every time you think they break, but not the luxury of common sense.

These situations are all a bit horrifying, but we must understand that perhaps these individuals weren't fortunate enough to have someone educate them on these matters. Additionally, some of them may not have been blessed with the best common sense.

The best we can do in these situations is to be the teachers who will make life easier and simpler for them. At least they're learning, right?
