Quote:Generation H(elpless)? Many Millennials Can’t Change A Light Bulb By Themselves, Survey Finds


They didn't need to take a survey, this is something we already knew.
We have a renter in the studio apartment my husband built in our backyard for his Father to live in comfortably when he was alive.
That youngman in actually in his early 30's and can not change a light bulb or repair a small hole or tear in the screen door or put a stamp on a letter and when we give him a stamp, he doesn't know which corner it belongs on.
My husband asked him once, if he was an alien and what planet did he come from.

Quote:SHEFFIELD, United Kingdom — Has the quintessential handyman become a thing of the past? Homeowners used to take pride in repairing and maintaining their homes all by themselves, but a recent survey of 2,000 young British adults finds that many still need assistance with the simplest of tasks — like changing a light bulb!

Unbelievably, some respondents even admitted to simply leaving a dead light bulb in place for more than three weeks before finally mustering up the courage to ask for some help. Other simple fixes that respondents said they can’t accomplish alone included putting up wallpaper, draining a radiator, painting, tightening up a loose cabinet door, and fixing a loose screw.

That's the saddest thing I've ever heard!  It's much worse than I thought. 

Whatever will they do when the Boomers are all dead and gone?   tinybighuh
