People Share The Things They Couldn't Believe They Had To Explain To Another Adult
October 16 | 2019
There are things you kind of assume people can't make it into adulthood without understanding - but you'd be amazed how much those assumptions don't exactly match up with reality.
<p>Reddit user The_Sh0w asked:<br></p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/df3k08/whats_something_you_cant_believe_you_had_to/" target="_blank">What's something you can't believe you had to explain to another adult?</a></p><p><br></p>

<p>So listen, some of the answers were things that if we squinted really hard we could kind of understand ... kind of. Nobody really expects you to be an expert in everything. Also, the privilege of in depth and accurate education isn't something we all have.</p><p>Even here in the United States it is perfectly legal to teach inaccurate information in schools (we're looking at you anatomy and sexuality classes) and so it's sort of understandable why so many people still think women urinate from their vaginas. Sorry if you're just now finding out. We'll give you a minute to process.</p><p>Check out some of these other "you totally should have known this" things that people have had to patiently (or not-so-patiently) explain to other adults.</p>

A Female Human and A Male Human
<p>How men and women evolved together.

Scaring Chlamydia Away

You have to actually ingest them. You have to put the pills (500mg Azithromycin, 2 tablets, one time dose,) into your mouth and swallow them. You can't, like, threaten the Chlamydia with the pills and frighten it away.</p><p>I'm an OB GYN nurse in a clinic- this person was a patient.

In 1995, the movie Clueless became a sleeper hit, developing a cult status that continues to this day. It's hard to channel that '90s lingo with that powerful vocal fry and think of any other film.
So when members of the cast reunited over the weekend at C2E2, the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo, fans got excited. The group drew a massive crowd to their panel and ignited fans' hopes for a possible sequel.
<p><strong>Alicia Silverstone, who played the main character Cher, posted a photo to her Instagram with herself, Breckin Meyer, Donald Faison and Paul Rudd.</strong></p><p><br></p><div id="1692b" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="BWV6Y21553536002"><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-version="4" style=" background:#FFF; border:0;

"If Another Nurse Had Been Taking Care Of Him, He'd Be Alive"—People Share The Most Hurtful Thing They've Overheard About Themselves
December 28 | 2018
I once overheard my dad call me fat. It sucked. He wasn't being mean, he was attempting to describe me to a stranger because he had lost me in a crowd. Since I stopped growing in 4th grade, it happens a lot and for whatever reason people almost never think to just turn in a circle and look down. I'm often right there, just lower than your normal line of sight - so I've heard people describe me about a zillion times. I'm a big girl, so I've heard about 150 million totally unoriginal people attempt to use my size to insult me like it was going to be some huge revelation and I didn't wake up in the morning with all this. I had just never heard it from my father before.
<p>Overall it's not the worst thing in the world. It wasn't even meant as an insult in the way he said it. He described me as "short, fat, curly hair, big eyes, cute as sh!t." Tons of people have called me worse - and heard others say worse about them. One Reddit user asked: </p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/a9bx21/whats_the_most_hurtful_thing_youve_overheard/" target="_blank">Whats the most hurtful thing you've overheard about yourself by accident?</a></p><p>Here are some of the best (worst?) responses we found, edited for language or clarity where needed. If you're a sensitive type, now might be a good time to grab some comfort food or hug a dog or something. Brace yourselves, folks. It's about to get REALLY harsh in here. </p><p><strong>Like, this level harsh.: </strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

I am an absolute out-and-proud Daddy's girl. My dad and I share the same ridiculous sense of humor. He was only 19 when I came along, so he has often been more of a friend than a true "dad." We have spent decades tormenting my poor mother with poorly sung renditions of Bon Jovi songs, and when things in life go sideways a hug from my Dad is everything I need to feel okay again. One of my favorite things about my dad is how absolutely stereotypically Dad-ish he has gotten now that he's older.
<p>As a kid he was the cool dad that all my friends had crushes on (don't worry about mom, Dad has been hopelessly hers since the day they met and she did pretty decent in that department too. She was young and beautiful and at least 3 men have dumped me because they were too interested in my mom) </p><p>Now that he's older, he's started doing things like buying 5 of the same pair of sneakers because he doesn't want to have to come back when he wears them out. His dad jeans game is flawless. He refuses to throw anything away because he needs it all for ... something. Oh, and you want puns? He's got you covered in multiple languages. His favorite joke is a play on the word "vacation" and asking what cows need a break from. The spanish word for cow is "vaca." I've heard this joke at least once a month for ten years and the only person who ever laughs is him - and he laughs until he cries. It's glorious. </p><p>One Reddit user asked: </p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/a34lkh/what_is_the_most_dad_thing_your_father_has_ever/" target="_blank">What is the most "dad thing" your father has ever done?</a></p><p><br></p><p>And yeah, dads are a magical creature, aren't they? Here are some of the daddest dad stories we found in the thread. </p><p><br></p><listicle id="listicle-2622582178"></listicle><p>So tell us, what's the Daddest thing you've ever witnessed? </p>
