It’s a strange fact, but our age doesn’t always define our maturity. Why else would we have terms like “man-child,” right? We often come across such people who never act their age, no matter how old they get, and their behavior tends to get to us.
Even Reddit user AnythingDeep69 might have experienced something similar, as she asked online, “What screams ‘irresponsible’ in your 30s?” and folks gushed with answers. You might even find yourself nodding along in agreement with some of these instances or habits of irresponsible adults. Just scroll down to check them out!

If you are in your 30s and live in the developed world and do not have poverty or disability as a factor… You should know how to use household appliances (Washer, Dryer, Dishwasher, Stove) If you do not have any clue how to use a clothes washer – or figure it out on your own (especially with the instructions on the lid like in the olden days) – I don’t have the patience to teach you. Regardless of gender full-stop: if you are a guy and don’t know how to wash clothes because “that is woman’s work” then… Jesus I have to get out of West Virginia!
