Today, the electrician came because our kitchen light has been flickering. After examining the installation, he screws the lightbulb tighter in the socket. My parents both are PhDs. FML

A PhD doesn't make you an expert in lightbulb matters.

They both are Pretty Huge Dicks? Yeah, sounds like it.

I'd like to know... In what is it an FML? Come on, her parents can't twist a lightbulb... So what? She idn't even involved in the FML

I notice the higher the education a person has the stupider they seem to be. my friend who has a ged that got a associates from the community college, is smarter then my friend who got his ba from a 4 year top 10 school. with simple things like this

They have PhDs, that means they can afford it and are more concerned with their areas of expertise than lightbulbs. I don't see what the problem is.

they are phds? dont think your gonna get 1

How many PhD's does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 0

It's the first thing you check when it's flickering... Like, hey my car won't start. You wanna check if you have any gas.

I lol'd hard. Well, being book smart doesn't mean you're common sense smart, after all. In fact I would wager that 95% of the time there's an inverse proportion thing going on there.

I really have a theory that the most intelligent people can also be the most vague. my mum is studying a PhD at the moment but she will ask me three or four times what i'm doing on the weekend.
