One of my co-workers
was genuinely surprised to learn that the speed limit on motorways is 70. She thought it varied by lane and the fastest lane was "120 or something like that".
She's been driving for about 8 years.

Blimey.
Did you smack her round the head with a copy of the Highway Code?

no, just talked in a quiet voice.
We also enjoyed her scream of "Christ, come quick, there's some kind of new breed of scorpion in the kitchen."
We found her on a kitchen counter, avoiding the earwig on the floor.

Haha!
Speaking as someone who spent several nights in earwig infested tents, they're quite harmless.
Just very annoying.
