Book smart, but ZERO life skills?
LOL, I just got back from getting blood taken for a thyroid test. I am sitting near the counter and a young girl is talking to the desk person. She gets asked if she has her doctor's fax number, and she says "Yes, I do. It's 215."...... so the lady asks her for the remaining digits, and the girl says "That's it.... 215"....... 215 is a local area code. Doh!

I had this friend in college who is EXTREMELY book smart, I mean graduated with a 4.0, has a great career now, but she is truly THAT girl that gives blondes their reputation. A couple classics of hers include this conversation:
Me: Did you see the moon last night??
Her: No, I was out of town
and
(During finals week. There is a bar in our city called "The Library")
Me: What time does the library close? I have to finish working on this paper...
Her: Well they stop serving drinks at 2, so like 2:30??
She's special

I have 2 cousins like this.
We play a Christmas trivia game every year and you get a letter everytime your team gets a question right, we use different christmas themed words. That year we were using "Jesus", the girls team got a point and my cousin wrote down "G", we all just looked at her, she didn't understand what we were so flabbergasted about lol0 -
Lol, definitely know people like this. An acquaintance of mine managed to light his house on fire because he dumped the still warm coals from his barbecue into the trash bin too soon. Mind you, he has a PhD in Chemistry....0

Still doesn't mean she's book smart. Colleges will allow just about anyone in these days0 -

Trust me... you do not get in this one without the grades. Not going to happen.0 -
My sister is exactly this. She took college courses in high school, got a masters in something or other in college and works a government job. She seems to know everything.
She has wrecked four cars in six years because she can't understand road signs. She can't fill her own gas tank, make anything more difficult than a sandwich (she actually put a pot on fire trying to boil water), and doesn't know the difference between bleach and detergent. She needs others to shop for her even.
I'm the opposite so it works well!0 -
This is me.. lol.
I graduated high school at 16, have my BSN at 20.
Friend: See the plane?
Me: Where? (looking out to the forest)
Friend: In the sky....
Me: OHHHHH.....
Fiance' is checking out a purse at the counter of the Coach store.
I decided I was hungry and ate some coffee beans while waiting for her to finish paying.
Everyone stared at me, on the way out, my Fiance' tells me they are for smelling.... 0 -
