THE THINGS WE JUST DON’T GET

What baffles Brits most revealed

®

EXPERTS have revealed the 50 most baffling things about modern life.

Kim Kardashian, algebra and why Donald Trump still has not been impeached top the list of subjects Brits find confusing. Paying for a train seat only to end up standing, the laws of cricket and setting up a wi-fi network were also among the matters we puzzle over most.

A study of 2,000 people, carried out by Yale, also found many were mystified by foreign call centres, printers and what Grime music actually is.

And financial jargon leaves many of the population confused with one quarter admitting they have no idea what most of the terms mean.

Nearly a fifth said they cannot understand why Piers Morgan is still on TV – or why sitcom Mrs Brown’s Boys is so popular.

Also appearing on the list was why there are so many options on a washing machine and why women buy shoes that look good but do not fit properly, yet still insist on wearing them.

Brits also admitted to being confused by predictive text and why “global warming” seems to make the weather colder.

More than 85% of respondents wished life was simpler and seven in 10 could do with quick fixes to make their life smoother.

During an average day, Brits will spend a quarter of an hour scratching their heads feeling confused about something.

In fact, over a third of people believe they are less productive due to the time they spend feeling confused.

Four in 10 Brits who think they are overly busy put the blame on an over-complicated lifestyle.

Yale spokesman Steve Roberts said: “There are a hundred and one things to be confused about in today’s fast-paced, constantly connected world, so it’s easy to feel a little overwhelmed.”
