You might even find yourself nodding along in agreement with some of these instances or habits of irresponsible adults. Just scroll down to check them out!

    Close-up of a stainless steel dishwasher and oven in a kitchen, representing adult appliances. If you are in your 30s and live in the developed world and do not have poverty or disability as a factor... You should know how to use household appliances (Washer, Dryer, Dishwasher, Stove) If you do not have any clue how to use a clothes washer - or figure it out on your own (especially with the instructions on the lid like in the olden days) - I don't have the patience to teach you. Regardless of gender full-stop: if you are a guy and don't know how to wash clothes because "that is woman's work" then... Jesus I have to get out of West Virginia!
