I know that we can’t blame the failings of every single human being on the failures of an education system as a whole, but listen…sometimes it does seem as if there must be some kind of collective issue.

After you read through these 12 posts made by Americans who really are old enough to know better you’ll see what I mean.

At least, I hope you do. If you don’t, I’m sorry to say that you may be part of the problem.

12. Can you imagine getting this help request?

I mean, what do you even say to that?

11. I wish there were time stamps on these texts.

I just really need to know how long he sat there.

10. That was just not nice.

Like shooting fish in a barrel, my friends.

9. I think she’s trying to make a point…

But this is incorrect, ma’am.

8. Are you a…scientist?

If so, I’m guessing your formal education was via Facebook.

7. Oh, dear.

4. Tell me more about this award.

I have a feeling I know some more people who might qualify.

3. Why yes, I do.

It’s called all of human biology.

2. I literally just snorted out loud.

I’m not sure what another proper response might have been.

1. Then again, maybe you’re not.

But that would make you the exception, not the rule.

I don’t even know what to say about some of these, y’all. Woof.
