What is the simplest thing you have ever had to explain to a competent adult?

That boys have a penis and girls have a vagina. There are still a bunch of them that don't understand it though.

Wife does this to both cool and heat the house. Infuriating.

how about when someone is standing next to the elevator and the up button is already glowing the elevator won't come faster by hitting the button rapidly 3x in a row.

I had to explain to a girlfriend once that she didn't leave her phone in her car because she was currently holding her phone up to her ear talking to me.

That it's a "dog eat dog" world, not "doggy dog" world.

One of my best friends and I were perusing new grills for him online.

He saw one with "infrared heating element" and thought it was pronounced "In-Fraired" instead of "In-Fruh-Red".

He argued for about 10 minutes too and then conceded and walked away cursing as we all laughed. He lived 28 years saying that the wrong way

It's called a "chest of drawers" not a "Chesterdrawers".

I've done that one a couple times.

I turned my truck around one time because I thought I left my keys at home... think about that one...

I had to explain how time worked to an adult. We were told to be somewhere at quarter past 10. They thought this meant 10:25 because a quarter is $0.25. Took forever to convince them a quarter of an hour is 15 min and we had to be there at 10:15.

I know this is how it is written out, but I still end up saying "chesterdrawers".

That's literally one of the items in the OP.

I used to work with a very sweet girl (in a federal office) who didn't understand the concept of different oceans. I guess she just thought it was all unnamed water.

FWIW, this girl also thought Australia was a country in Africa and had no concept of Saudi Arabia.

As in "did you hear about something something in Saudi Arabia?" and her response was "no, what is that?"

"what do you mean"

"the arabia thing, is that a place"

In a sociology class, we spent 30 minutes explaining to this one chick that a dude could not give an unborn fetus fetal alcohol syndrome by fricking the pregnant chick when he was drunk.

She was as convinced that his sperm and pre-ejaculate would carry the alcohol from him to her and thus to the unborn child as she was that the sun would rise in the east.

It took the professor and 15 students, myself included, half an hour to convince her otherwise.
