Blowing out birthday candles should not be this complicated.
Most us have experienced how awkward the office sing-song can be when someone's birthday comes around.
Well, former American presidential nominee Mitt Romney made the situation a whole lot more awkward on his birthday.
The Utah Senator was presented with a cake made of Twinkies and surprised everyone with his unusual way of blowing out the candles.

As expected, many were quick to comment on his unusual ways.
This is the most bizarre technique for blowing out birthday candles that I’ve ever witnessed. Mitt Romney is a deeply weird dude. pic.twitter.com/kLGuJawDpv

How do you not know how to blow out candles? It’s distressing, Mitt.

However, some people pointed out he may be doing it this way for hygiene reasons.
Unpopular opinion: this is the * BEST * and most sanitary way to blow out candles. Never could understand why it's socially acceptable to bless a cake with your lung germs before everyone dives in https://t.co/OXL8P6pof7

Whatever his reasoning, the silence as he picks each birthday candle off is unbearable.
