1 In 5 Adults Struggle With Simple Household Chores, Like Changing Light Bulbs

A new study out of London says found that 1 in 5 adults can't even change light bulbs in their homes.

The survey also found that nearly one third of participants couldn't cook any meal on the fly and if they were to spill something on their clothes or the floor, only 59% of people would know how to get rid of a stain.

Only 37% of those surveyed could change a tire.
