People throw this out hoping to show that they're some wordly experienced salt of the earth combat vet who knows everything about every extreme scenario, but really it just means they couldn't manage on their own and had to cry to the government to make them get their own shit together.

The part where an adult had to yell at you for weeks to teach you how to wash your ass and do pushups?
