People from the USA fail at reading a clock

We put young people on the street to the ultimate test - can they tell time? #CanYouDoIt pic.twitter.com/6BmyEP04b6

People on the street were asked to tell time using an analogue clock, with disappointing but not surprising results

Can you use a clock, ONTD? Alternatively, what watch do you have?

I can read them but it takes me a few seconds to work it out

i can read clocks. i can't change a tire.

Do you know how to call someone to change a flat for you? AAA saved my butt a few times.

Real talk, if you are a person who drives anywhere, learning how to change a tire is a good life skill and shockingly not that difficult to do. And I lack arm strength. If I can do it, so can everyone else.

There should be classes for that, just as I think there should be classes for money management and how to ride a bus.

honestly idk. i think i could call my insurance company but i don't know for sure. changing a tire was one of those things i could call my dad about but he died kind of unexpectedly last november and i have a lot of things to learn that i should have when i was younger.

My father died when I was nine unexpectedly and my mom, who passed when I was 17, taught me to to pay attention.

You can change a tire or at least figure out if there is insurance roadside assistance in your policy. It's a thing worth knowing.

I'm so sorry for your loss, truly, I get it. I wish I didn't.

Figure it out when everything is well and you have good tires. It's a far better situation than getting a flat somewhere and then you are mourning the loss of your dad in the predicament. I don't doubt your ability to handle that situation, but it's always good to plan ahead.

I hope this doesn't come across as preachy. I apologize if it does.

Because what we really needed was another video for boomers (who hate the internet) to comment on despite the fact that they can't tell the difference between a news article and a troll piece from freedomeagle.facebook

Yes, I need it for work. So, I wear a Timex. (Best watch in the world).

I can read clocks, not instantly, but not as slowly as when I was a teen.
