Totally gay, because office bro was totally hoping to get some booty.
But damn if I can’t believe this is true. I’ve met people that are that unaware of that kind of thing. Shit, I once had to teach a 76 year old man how to operate a can opener because up until then, his wife had done all kitchen stuff.
I started the case maybe two weeks before and had been doing the meal prep because home health. One morning, I show up and my man is stabbing at the top of a can with an old butcher knife. I freak out a little because, damn, dude needs a nurse’s assistant, so an already less than ideal tool was crazy dangerous. Also, dude had decided to ignore the nicely arranged food I had cooked the day before, which is story in itself.
So I dig through the drawers and find a shitty old can opener. Show him how to use it, and Bob’s your uncle. Mostly.
Dude wasn’t senile, believe it or not. Just not the brightest crayon in the box and woefully a product of his generation. Nice guy though! Not always the case on a case.

I swear some people act so fucking alien about life, like they had not learned some of the most basic things, or lack what you would consider to be the most obvious social skills.
I think some families just royally fucked up their kids heads growing up.

No, they just didn’t have your life. or your standards, or your ‘skills’.
I grew up working-class, and upper middle class people think my social skills are shit, because I’m not endlessly passive-aggressive like they are. I have no issue communicating with with other working-class people, but upper class people think i’m a social freak because I speak my mind directly, which to them is an impossible idea.
