What's the simplest thing you've had to explain to a full grown adult?

A "competent" adult.
Yes, I stole this from the front page of reddit. Deal with it.
Once a middle aged woman asked me "What's a double cheeseburger? Is that like, larger?"
"Yes ma'am, there's two patties."
"Two patties? That's ridiculous. They'll sell you kids anything these days."
Another time an elderly woman asked me to pump her gas for her. Her husband had just passed away and had always done it for her. I showed her how so she wouldn't have to ask strangers anymore. That was actually kind of sad.

I had a "friend" who was late thirties who had never pumped gas. Her former husband managed a rock band, and she was pampered. Didn't know how to do it. She always found people to do it for her.

I met a surprising number of people back when I lived in the dorms at A&M who didn't know how washers and dryers worked. Not just not to mix reds with whites, but actually how to operate the machines. I feel like by the time you are around 20 that should be a basic life skill.
I think the worst thing though was a girl I knew asking me, after the A&M cannon fired when we scored at a game, what we did with the cannon balls.

Tried to teach My Mom's Neighbor how to start his Lawnmower, he was about 35, and never did catch on.
I think the term is "educated idiot"

So when you say full grown adult...and you refer to a "competent" adult, where do Bama Gumps fit in? I mean do you want explanations to retards?
Just seeking clarification.

Freshman year we had a teammate who didn't know what a dildo was... She actually called it a "gildo" Basically she got an education and a sweet new nickname.

How to load a dishwasher. One of my roommates tried to load a dishwasher. After the load was done, we had a dishwasher full of bowls, cups and plates all full of water, and a kitchen floor covered in suds. I taught him how to do it right and which detergent to use. He never touched the thing again.

Walking to my truck, while we were crossing a very busy Hargrove one night after a game, my girlfriend started to lolligag as a car rapidly approached us. I beckoned her to giddyup; however, she replied, "they'll slow down, I might hurt their car." I grab her and escort her to safety.
I had to explain to her that it doesn't matter how you would approach an oncoming conflict. It's how they might be thinking or feeling. What if that speeding wagon was driven by a drunken fool, mad about losing their game, who simply isn't thinking correctly. Perhaps they'll smash you and think they had gained "points," and will only realize it differently after your mangled body is used as evidence of their poor judgment.
"I never thought of it that way," she said. From that day I've been able to etch away at the selfishness afforded a single child to a house with both of her parents loving -- each other, but especially her.

Last year I had to show an engineer for the DoD how to use a ratchet. He just couldn't grasp the idea that you did not have to reposition the ratchet after each half turn

And of course, you can't explain every facet of it in finite detail, but the gist of it is pretty straightforward. I think this is one of the most common, by number "simple things" that so many adults do not understand.

I had to explain to my dumbass mother in law that riding with your high-beams is not to be done at all times. She actually asked my wife why she was riding around with her "dims" on.
