Many of us were taught how to be a functional human being by our parents and/or guardians.
Parents never cover everything down to the smallest of details and even when they do the children themselves don't remember everything.
For example, have you been taught how to remove, say, blood stains from clothing?
It's the same effect as how one is taught something in a professional domain at School yet still has to learn quite a lot more when working at it professionally.
Mind you, this specific case can be "not remember a crucial detail of something you were taught", but it can also be not at all being properly prepare by one's parents and/or guardians to, as you say, be a functional human being.
Yes. Hydrogen peroxide works great but soaking fresh stains in cold water is a good way to start for delicate dyes. And I don't even have a vagina.
More to the point, it's not necessary to remember everything down the smallest detail if you have a foundational understanding of how things work. This isn't rocket science, this is "squares have four sides". Fat melts when it gets hot, contain it in something.
Yeah, I do admit this one specific case does fall into the "no real notion of how it works in general" level.
Surely after the first couple of times they should have figured out the whole dripping thing that "there must be an easier solution for this than cleaning the oven each time"
I can see how they'd get to the conclusion that they did, at least. I'm sure they saw the grills in the oven and thought that it was like an outdoor grill, and then never thought about it beyond that conclusion and assumed that everyone just had to deal with cleaning the gross oven mess every time.
