Not my wife, but a former coworker who had a masters in Chemical Engineering but was clueless about life in general.
Early one morning, the power went out in her neighborhood so we weren't surprised when she didn't show up to work. A couple of hours later, she called and said she couldn't get her car out of the garage to go to work because it won't open without power. I reminded her of the big, red handle to release the door that I showed her when I installed the door opener a year or so earlier. If that wasn't bad enough, she went on to ask if she can flush the toilet without power.
I still laugh to myself when I think about that one.
