These Fully-Grown People Clearly Still Need Their Parents

I've always thought that one of the coolest things about children is watching them witness things for the first time, and learn things about the world. The older I get, the more apparent it becomes to me that not everyone got the chance to develop a proper amount of common sense. And if they did, they just don't seem to use it.

I'm not sure which is worse, but these people clearly still need their parents around to guide them, because they are not making the best decisions. We have proof.

The Internet Is Full Of Tricks.

Don't believe everything you read online, because there are lots of crazies out there. Didn't your parents teach you this?

Imagine actually believing sandpaper would work to clean your windshield?
