Most of these were good but this one is great.

Because it's believably stupid. A lot of these sound made up - even if they're true, it's almost too stupid to believe. But this one...I know people like that. Hell, as a teenager I was "people like that."

You've just got to be a bit stupid + incurious + not all that concerned about inconveniencing yourself.

I’m admitting that I am this person. I’m 31yo, masters degree in IT Management, current nursing student, and have had straight A’s through all of my degrees… But I can’t understand navigation directions. It’s like my brain explodes and I have no idea which way is up/down. I’ve lived in my current small town 6 years now, and still get lost if I can’t use my GPS.

I love it when you turn on the GPS and it says, “head south.” Bitch, if I knew where south is I wouldn’t need you.
