1. Don't use hot water from the faucet as a shortcut to get boiling water faster when you try to cook.

2. Don't overload clothing detergent into the washer. Your dark clothes will end up with white soap stains.

3. You can turn left at a red light if both directions are a one-way street.

Shiiiiiiiit I knew all of this stuff when I was 15. Sad that so few men possess such basic skills.

5. He ought to know the rudiments of camping, how to build a fire, how to chop wood, how to take a cinder out of his eye, how to deal with a severed artery, how to doctor himself for ordinary ailments.

Other than that, I agree with the list, and have all of them covered except my handwriting is terrible.

All but 21 and 27 for me.

I know my alcohol capacity but don't always stick within my limits.

Haven't learned a second language, and I certainly won't be learning French or German.
