A new survey has discovered that Millennials also suck when it comes to fixing stuff around the house, or even opening a pickle jar.
Yeah we’re kinda doomed:
Are dads’ essential DIY skills in decline? According to new research, millennial dads are less capable than their own dads when it comes to everyday DIY fixes, preferring to rely on professional help instead.
A new poll of 1,000 millennial dads and 1,000 baby boomer dads found that when a DIY task needs to be done at home, more than half of millennials prefer to call a professional.
And when it comes to emergency “handiness” scenarios, millennial dads fall short in almost every category.
Watch below:
Millennial dads are less likely than their boomer counterparts to be able to change a car tire on the side of the road, unblock a toilet or sink, reset a tripped circuit breaker or even open a stuck pickle jar with their hands.
The new survey, conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Alarm.com, found that modern dads’ toolkits have declined too.
Many millennial dads reported not owning a cordless drill (46%), a stepladder (49%), a set of screwdrivers (38%) or even a hammer (32 percent) — an item owned by 93% of boomer dads.
That’s kinda pathetic. Now partly this is because we live in more and more of a digital world. You can’t even diagnose a problem with your car without plugging it into a computer. But, this is not a good sign for the future of America, no matter how you spin it.
That’s it for Saturday, hope you’re having a great weekend! Have an open thread, no seriously, you’ve earned it!
