Some people are blissfully unaware of the world they live in. If they've lived a sheltered life, they may not know about the ordinary things that lots of people deal with on a daily basis.

If you invite the wrong people—the kind who ignore safety protocols or just have zero idea what they're doing in the kitchen—you may wind up giving your whole party food poisoning. You should still invite your friends who can't cook , but just tell them to bring a dessert. That's pretty hard to mess up! Unless y…

Home is where the heart is, and it's also where all of your strangest belongings remain. No one knows this better than folks who have jobs that require them to randomly step foot inside people's homes , often with very little warning. Say, for example, a plumber. Maybe your shower isn't draining or your toilet just won't work. You have to call the plumber, and there's usually a set timeframe during which they'll show up to solve your issues.

'Bought a head of lettuce and ate it... over the sink': 25+ Single people admit the most uncool meals they've ever concocted

For single folks, “meal” is such a strong word. Making a “meal” requires time, effort, and possibly a stovetop.

Lately, when I don't feel like cooking for my single self, I make “charcuterie dinner.” It includes strawberries, pineapple, a ti…
