Id_Rather_B_Lurking:I owned a light blue colored microwave for about three years that a family member gave me for a housewarming gift. Thought it was cool; never saw a blue microwave before. One night, a buddy asked why I never took the blue plastic wrap off my microwave, then proceeded to peel it off for me. Damn; that bitch is silver. Still miss my blue microwave sometimes though...
KyloWrench:After moving to a new city I went to the laundromat and the Korean lady working was yelling at me about something I couldn’t understand. After some pantomime it became clear that she was upset I was putting in the wrong detergent but it was the same kind I have been using for 8 years (since moving away to college and behind). Turns out I’ve been washing my clothes with only fabric softener for nearly a decade. They always smelled good so I never really thought about it. Not my proudest moment
lexiphanicism:Travel frequently for work and only just noticed that most laptop bags have a strap to place over a rolling suitcase handle.
milwbrewsox:My family always had a cup next to the bathroom sink in case you needed to rinse your mouth after brushing your teeth or maybe get a quick drink of water in the middle of the night. My grandma had the same cup at her house. I used it for years whenever I was thirsty. One day she saw me doing this and said, “Don’t use that cup. Thats where grandma puts her teeth.”
Aleriya:I taught myself how to play clarinet.
Six months later someone told me that I'd been playing with the mouthpiece upside down.
1n5an1ty:When I was a kid, I was told that the paper that came on cupcakes/muffins was edible.
I would spend a decade eating them like this (paper and all), until a friend pointed it out.
gorbaby:Found out I was lighting incense wrong. Boyfriend and I got a bunch to add to our collection of nice smells and we would light them and they would just start a little inferno. Convinced we were buying cheap, garbage incense we stopped using them. I proceed to buy a different brand in a hope those would work. I test light and same thing it just goes up in an inferno. Roommate informs us you are supposed to blow them out once they catch. Oops.
Edit: Reddit silver! Thank you so much! As well as a grammar edit. Who knew possibly burning the apartment down would lead to such a response to seemingly common knowledge of how incense work?
_Colonel_Mustard_:I used to pull my pants down all the way at the urinal
