What’s even more confusing is why “train timetables” is listed twice.
Really? I see fares and timetables…
44 & 47
well spotted CC
so Brits are pretty dense then (excluding the Russell Brand one).
number 7…
i think you just dont get our humour, but 33 is true!
great one ..
Should this list be the 50 most confusing things for those of below average intelligence?
I can’t speak for the masses but most of these things seem pretty run of the mill to me, I think whoever created this list has no common sense or life skills, probably the kind of person who always claims they can’t do something before trying it to find out.
Is this list selected by women or something? No way men rank higher than women. Men’s motives are simple; sex, drink, food, fun in that order. Women on the other hand, who can really tell?
