Today, the electrician came because our kitchen light has been flickering. After examining the installation, he screws the lightbulb tighter in the socket. My parents both are PhDs. FML

A PhD doesn't make you an expert in lightbulb matters.

Is it an FML because your parents didn't know what to do or because you didn't know what to do either?

Doesn't mean they're experts in all things. My mom has a Ph.D in history and doesn't understand some basic math concepts.

Smart people don't have common sense..my sister did the same thing

I have found that people with master or doctorate degrees rarely know much outside of their field. And they lack any social skills.

And you?? Are you stupid as well or do you parets have to change your diapers as well!!

...you can't be PhD's. I know you know that know though.

why would you call for an electrician before checking if a light needs switching? that would've revealed that the bulb isn't screwed on tight.
