To want to know something you wrongly believed was true all your life ?

[ChristineCagney11]

Posting to try and take our minds off bad things for a moment
I'm in my fifties someone on here posted about a "Party wall" a few weeks ago, I laughed because I thought they were mistaken, I have always thought the word for a wall between two properties was "Parting wall"
How did I not know ??
Also over the years when I've watched, usually men taking off the tops of beer bottles with their hands on US programmes.
I may or most definitely may have tried to do this myself not realising they have twisty tops in the US.
You ?

well I feel very foolish now.

im quite intelligent in RL, I promise.

Also capital cities:
Australia
New Zealand
Turkey

All got those wrong, assumed Sydney, Auckland and Istanbul

Tied to this is I always thought NZ was located at 2 o clock to Australia and not 4 o clock, but I think that's because it used to be shown that way on maps

@IHateWasps No it's the same sign but depending on how you look at it, it can look like a large hammer. I actually still see it like a hammer and have to sort of adjust how I look at it to see the car.

Sorry to disappoint you but there is now a product called Elbow Grease 😂

Thank you for clarifying but I feel like when I was a kid and I could never see the Magic Eye pics when others could. I still can't see a hammer even though I really want to.

I can see the hammer. It’s bashing the ground and grit is flying up.

I’m 😱 at Evelyn Waugh - always thought ‘he’ was a man (studied Decline & Fall) and have corrected people in this before!!

I have just found out that birds have sex! 😂

How come I've never seen it? 🤔😬

Don’t worry @JustDanceAddict . You’re right. Evelyn Waugh the writer was a man. PPs were just pointing out his wife was also called Evelyn.

Evelyn Waugh was a man! The poster was saying that they wrongly thought that he was a woman.

The writer of Decline and Fall was a man. His wife Evelyn was not.

Mine is a song lyric from way back. 'Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jazzmen in my mind'.

I thought it was under glass as well

I had no idea until I was in my thirties that the brown furry bit of a coconut was the inner part and that on trees they are smooth and green. It’s because supermarkets only sell the hairy ones and that’s how they always look in drawings and pictures. The person who told me said I was a stupid woman for not knowing and I felt really thick and embarrassed.

I also thought Centre Parcs was under a glass dome and that it was temperature controlled inside!

The person who told you that was a dick and denser than a coconut.

My nan told me that French toast was a secret family recipe and I believed her until I was watching Kramer vs Kramer in my 40s. I don't know why I believed her because she lied about absolutely everything.

Who told you in that manner that should say.

@SpiderVersed
I also grew up singling about the bucket on his head!!!

Not all my life, but i didn't know Milky Way was not a chocolate until maybe my late 20s

Eh? I mean, obviously not the filling; but what on earth is the stuff on the outside if not chocolate?
