"I can't believe they didn't know that"
What thing have you found out that someone didn't know? You were really surprised that they didn't learn or had forgotten. For me, it was a 20 year old who didn't know the ordering of month names. Things you consider every adult should know. What about you?

Wait. They didn't know February came after January and May comes after April????
Like... didn't ever look at a calendar... or anything...
Hmm I'm trying to think... I always find it weird that men seem to know nothing about the female reproductive system even though it is taught here in school from grade 5 to 8 or 9.1 -
I once had an argument with my son. His teacher told him a shark was a mammal and so he believed her. The fact that I have a Zoology degree meant nothing to the 4 year old. I could not believe I had to try and convince him that I knew what was talkin about4

I learned a little while ago that a week starts on Sunday, this info blew my mind!
The week starts on the weekend...how confusing is that!!1 -
I learned that while traveling in the car you can have the reading light on and not get a ticket. I was taught that you can get a ticket by police it still blows my mind to have that light on while driving. I learned it from radio station1

I just learned that the youngsters no longer learn penmanship, specifically cursive, during their elementary years in public school. This doesn't bode well for the future.
Not sure where you live but our state passed a law last year saying that it is mandatory to teach cursive in third grade and then samples in the upper elementary grades must be kept to prove they know it. My school's always taught before this law came about because the kids are so excited to learn it. So sad that it's no longer considered an important skill to teach in other areas.3 -
I can't believe some grown-assed women have never had an orgasm. I mean, ones who've been in relationships for years and they've never had one.
Blows my freaking mind.4 -

Really? That's odd. My kiddos are schooled at home through a public charter program. The curriculum for Language Arts contains penmanship and cursive writing from 2nd grade on up. We have loads of fun learning the shapes, and my two younger ones think they're using a secret "language".
I suppose I just learned there might be a big difference in the traditional public school education regimen vs. the method we chose for ours, despite both having "public" in the name. I also recently learned that both people involved in an accident can receive tickets if both were careless. I always thought there was always one "winner" and one "loser". Keeping fully abreast of traffic laws is valuable

I van al,out agree that cursive is not very necessary, but who will read all of the old documents inthe future? I often look at deeds and property descriptions that are hand written from 30-200 years ago. Some are very hard to figure out and I know cursive.0

When people finally realize it's supposedly, NOT "supposebly". Or specific, NOT "Pacific".2

What’s a relationship got to do with it?

My bf didn't know about the "th" sound and I had to teach it to him. He was mad nobody had corrected his use of d's his whole life. He's got a thick country accent so I guess that's why. It blew my mind though.1

With the state of sex education in schools, that's hardly surprising.1 -
My boss's boss did not know the phrase "At the ready."
This is a woman with multiple years experience in the corporate world and at least 1 college degree and I had to not only tell her it was a real phrase but define it for her.
Needless to say, I lost a few brain cells that day.0 -
Geography...
When I was still teaching English (ESL), one affirmed that: the Amazonas was located in the Nile; the Mississippi is a mountain range in Asia; the Everest is a lake in Africa. (the lesson was on comparatives...)0 -
