You shouldn't put anything in your ears.
I heard that as, never try to put anything
in your ears smaller than your elbow!

Isn't that doing it in the ear?
Vehicles haven't always had that so you've not missed it for 25 years.
There's a myth that the handle on the fuel pump indicates which side the filler is on but its not true, it's just coincidence if it is.
It’s not the handle it’s the arrow.
That after 25 years of driving the fuel symbol on the dashboard has an arrow that tells you which side you put the fuel in!
Wrong if that was the case then in a Honda Civic, I would be putting petrol in the bottom of the car on the wrong side.
Oh lord, did you not wonder what the buttons on the steering wheel were?
Talking of cars only after about 7 months I realised the top of the armrest can be opened for storage too. Not that I need to use it anyway, haven't done after discovering it.

Until the 2015 migrant crisis I thought Lesbos was a joke name.
Was it ... hard to take?
Both of my parents have passed away in the past 18 months and I've got the task of trying to clear the house, garage, huts(both were keen gardeners) and greenhouse.
I was cursing how much they'd kept, how many bills they had, how many light bulbs, AA batteries, cheque books (32 at last count),sets of gardening gloves and clothes they had until I took a look at my own house and imagined by daughter having to clear it out. I'm just as bad.
So now I'm doing both houses, mine isn't really any better and I'm less than half their age when they passed away! It's all nonsense we don't need, I sold some tools yesterday at local fayre for over £50, these were things I'd used once over 10 years ago for a specific plumbing job and they'd gathered dust ever since. There's loads of examples of this especially computing gear. I've just given my neighbour two laptops to use for his kids as they were in a drawer doing nothing. I've several 100W bulbs which were too hot when in use for any of my lampshades! lol
TL;DR we have far too much stuff in the house we'll never use. How many screwdriver sets does one man need and surely if they aren't that good it's an excuse to get a nice set (That's the justification I'm going with!).

I feel your pain.
We’re in the process of moving house so going through a declutter before moving day. Two car loads of stuff have already gone to the tip, with another already loaded for tomorrow. Not to mention the diningroom full of stuff for eBay/charity shop. It does feel good getting rid of **** you don’t need though.

Until recently I didn't know Mac n cheese was actually macaroni cheese, I thought it was some obscure American dish.

Not really that obvious, but when a bird is described as " Lesser Spotted " I thought that it meant its plumage was less spotty than other members of the same species
, however it means it is more rarely seen or................... spotted less.
Who da thunked it ?

That is news to me also. I shall treasure that bit of information.
I grew up with my Mum and sister. Because of this when I went to the toilet, the seat was usually down. Now for some reason I associated this with meaning that the toilet seat was there for the females (child logic). I never used a toilet seat until I was about 20 instead sitting on the porcelain haha.
