We can love our friends and family, and we can also recognize that said people do some really silly things that make us scratch our heads. From your roommate washing her feet in the toilet to your 20-year-old brother calling 911 when the power went out, we’ve compiled a list of tweets shared by people that witnessed some of the most shocking occurrences, or even did the shocking things themselves!

He’s Not a Martian

Here in the states, all money - both coins and bills - have famous figures on them. The penny and five dollar bill both feature Abraham Lincoln, but this girl didn't understand something super basic about him.

This is honestly hilarious, because students spend so much time studying Abraham Lincoln in school! Sure, the photos are in black and white, but it's pretty clear what he looks like, and he's neither copper brown nor green.

Snakes After Sunset

Just about every child around the world learns how to play the recorder. Why? We're not sure. It's probably some big conspiracy among music teachers to get revenge on bad parents by giving their kids obnoxious instruments.

Anyone reading this who has had to listen to someone practicing the recorder knows what was really going on here - mom was sick and tired of listening to that wretched instrument and wanted an excuse to get some peace and quiet without hurting her kid's feelings!

Always Wash Your Feet

A lot of people think that just letting the hot soapy water that they use on the rest of their body run over their feet in the shower is enough to get them clean. But, that's not really the case - you need to separately scrub your tootsies, too.

However, no one out there thinks you wash them by sticking them in a filthy toilet bowl. Perhaps this person didn't have access to a shower or bathtub in the past and this was the best they could do?

No Cleaning Skills

There are different kinds of intelligence, and someone having a bunch of advanced degrees doesn't necessarily mean they have a lot of knowledge when it comes to other things - like good cleaning habits.

Knowing several languages doesn't really matter if no one taught you how to properly clean a bathroom in any of those languages! She probably always had people who did it for her in the past, which led to this awkward and silly occurrence.
