good point but not good example- there’s plenty of reasons someone might not have their license lol

Anonymous 12w

Well if he’s never had a car… an no one taught him to drive?… how?!

I feel like at 20, you’re still learning at 26 you can be pissy they’ve had time and shoulda been called out by that point (but even then have some empathy jeesh not everyone has the same life path or opportunities or support) And the car analogy is kinda elitist ngl

Anonymous 12w

I feel like the car example can be a little elitist and classist. One example that I have that is drives me crazy is when an adult able bodied person can’t clean their house or cook at all and then blame their parents. That actually drives me up the wall

I mean if they don’t have a car and can’t afford a class wtf are they supposed to do

Anonymous 12w

this isn’t fair, especially in states like North Carolina where you need a car AND insurance before they’ll even allow you to get your license. a regular 20 year old can’t do that without SOME semblance of help from their parents. Now if they’ve graduated from college and shit then sure. But 20?

Anonymous 12w

It’s so much more complicated then just getting your license. If you don’t have a support group, you won’t be able to get your license. No one to take you to get your permit? Uber… but with what money. Okay you got your permit? No person to drive you… driving school? Expensive. You get your license? Okay now you have to spend money on a car.. $$$$ Stoping acting like it’s an easy thing. It takes a community which some people don’t have or it takes a lot of time to get there on your own.

i’m a 22 yr old female & my mom didn’t allow me to drive & i didn’t get my license until i was 18 bc i needed it for college but i still don’t have a car but im learning slowly. i can drive around town but still trying to get to where i can drive in my city’s i still haven’t gotten on the interstate it really scares me & it makes me feel like a burden but my bf is patient with me & teaches me bc he knows i had a hard family life maybe instead of complaining you teach him how to do it🤷🏻‍♀️💓

Have a 40 year old line cook who does this same thing. It’s upsetting

It’s easy getting a license but it’s hard getting a car and keeping a car especially in NYC. It’s like having a child

Yeah that’s fair. Location can definitely have a huge influence on whether or not a license is necessary. That being said though, I can’t think of any other valid reason not to have one besides for health or legal reasons (like having it revoked or restricted in some way)

mhm never got mine becausw i got in a car accident when I was 15 that messed me up. and I can’t get behind the wheel without having a full blown breakdown 😭 no license for me so far lol

that’s the one!! that’s the real argument because i know many adults that can’t even pick up after themselves it drives me up the wall 🤦🏻‍♀️ i have depressive episodes where i don’t want to do anything but even then after i get out of it i clean up after myself so really anyone can do it most of the time it’s just laziness on their parts

Not the point. Taking a driving course is not a necessity. If a family is broke there’s about a billion OTHER, more important things to spend that money on

Anonymous

#10 12w

Exactly? So they’re gonna make sure their groceries are covered before they splurge on a driving course. If op cared to, they could teach them themselves

Anonymous

OP 12w

The issue is once the course is done they’re required to have their own car to drive for the test

#17 12w

Lets not forget you need to use uour own car to take the test

Exactly! Some driving schools allow you to use their car but that’s not very common

Anonymous

Usually you have to beg a friend or family member to use their car for the test

I live in nj and we’re required to have 6 hours of driving w a school and then the you can use the schools car for the test. But idk where op lives and how it works (plus the school costs money. which makes the whole thing even more inaccessible)

This one yes. When I found out my gf didn’t even know how to cook eggs I was like nope. you’re learning right now. Come to the kitchen I’m teaching you to make your own damn eggs

Anonymous

#9 12w

yes!! my bf is also teaching me to cook big things! I can make eggs spaghetti and easy stuff but when it comes to frying pork chops i was scared of the grease popping but i can do it now :) 🙏🏼 extremely thankful for patient guys like you & my bf.

I will never understand people who just whine and complain about the people on their life not knowing things. Like if you care about them, teach them. It’s the whole thing about teaching a man to fish so he can eta for a lifetime and all that.

exactly!! if i don’t know something i loved been taught how to do it so ill know how to do it for a lifetime im still learning to drive but at least im trying

That’s understandable. There’s definitely some more involved and complex dishes but every adult should be able to make themselves enough food to survive

dont you have to take a driving course to even qualify for the test? Either way you can catch the bus everyday or you can get your license

Anonymous

#19 12w

Not in every state. In some states you can just go and take the driving test

Anonymous

#19 12w

in my state yes, you need 6 hours of driving with a school, which you have to pay for. That’s after you pass the written test, then you have to have a permit for at least six months or until you’re 17 (whichever happens last) before you can take the test. Not all states have the same rules, but the way my state does it is kinda classist

thats a terrible excuse, the point is that she should not have to be the man’s personal driver just because “I was not taught”, you’re an adult with responsibilities such as being able to take yourself to YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES. Genuinely no excuse, stop using incompetence or money to justify not being accountable.

Honestly I don’t rlly know how getting a license at 20 works. I got mine as soon as I could at 17. And I’m not making excuses, just pointing out that expecting everyone to have access to the resources to get a license and a car is classist. I have a license, I can’t afford a car. If there wasn’t a bus line that stopped at my school idk what I’d do
