Let's put a positive spin on this, since people in the comments are dogging on him enough.
Guy's 20, living on his own, clearly inexperienced in the ways of living on his own, and he had the courage to do what so many fail to: ask for help. If he keeps that going, he'll be fine.
He clearly didn't get the guidance he needed when he was younger, but he is trying and asking questions. He is on the right path.
He also didn't get the guidance here. Who says "I'm tweeting this".
You help him, and then you tweet it privately...
Yeah that and honestly, its also mainly a failure of the parents to teach him.
Also for the cousin, I hate when you ask someone, specifically a family member for help, and they make you feel stupid, I mean sure, I maybe late to the party, but I am learning.
Maybe they have a good enough relationship where they can gently tease each other like this, and both of them are laughing.
Sorry you don't have any friends and family you can just dog sometimes.
some abusive parents even go out of their way to NOT teach things like this on purpose in order to keep their children dependent on them
omg it's truu
He a 20 yr old loving on his own. He already beat 80% of the other kids living with their parents.
I knew how to use an oven at 20, so I'm guessing he it's probably from the class that doesn't really ever go into the kitchen.
I never understood what true wealth was until I went to Uni. My roommate was extremely ill equipment for life. They had never done laundry, never cooked(even a microwave), and never cleaned up after themselves. They wore clothes until the clothes smelt bad or ripped, and then throw them out. Then someone from home would send them a package with brand new clothes. They demolished their meal plan and gained a bunch of weight because they had never had to make any decisions about food before. They trashed our unit because the idea of cleaning was non existent. There is a class of people that have never done anything for themselves and are completely out of touch. Also these are the fucking people that run the government. Their parents were going to pay me $5000 for putting up with their kids shit for a year. Until you have seen this, you will never understand what the word wealthy means.
It’s not just about class, but sexism. Cooking is women’s work.
While I may be older than most here, I was one of the few among my friends to cook, as a guy. I never got teased directly but people would say things in my presence. I loved to bake so always made desserts for My family, plus there were a few dishes that were always “mine”.
When I got married, we did both agree that we liked traditional roles, but she didn’t let me cook. Sure parts of it were that she is the better cook and also the more picky eater, but a lot of it was “her role”. She felt anxious about not doing “her part”. It was too ingrained that cooking was women’s work
But we both made sure our boys could cook. Now that they’re home from college for the summer, i try to get them to cook at least once a week
He's probably injecting his message and destination into someone elses data transmission lmao
Genuinely: why???
Because we should encourage people to be smart enough to realize they're doing something dumb and ask someone to help or make sure they're doing things correctly.
The last thing we need in this world are more aggressively stupid people inordinately confident that they're doing shit right while doing nothing but fucking up.
The one thing that is bothering me a little... Like I was on my own in college at 18. While I wasn't really "taught" how to cook for myself I at least observed my mom and dad over 18 years cooking. I've seen them use baking sheets in the oven, and never just directly on the rack.
My question is where was this guy for 20 years? Was he never in the kitchen helping set the table? Emptying the dishwasher/doing dishes while mom was making dinner? Did he just disappear at all times and thought some magic genie made food?
