16 Normalised Things People Aren't On Board With
Recently, u/ibrahimelmouttaqi asked r/AskReddit, "What's one 'normal' thing people do that you secretly think is absolutely insane?" So we thought we'd share some of the most popular responses.
"Put all their personal business on social media."
"People posting their kids on social media, especially place like reddit, where you can't really control who see it. Especially if it's for some kind of internet points. Even worse are the motherhood influencers."
"Blow a year's salary on loan for a ring and wedding ceremony."
"Going into debt to buy shit to impress people they don't even know."
"Buy a new water bottle or cup every time it's trendy. Nalgene, Tervis, Yeti, Hydroflask, Stanley Cup.... It's just bizarre to me that every time it's cups."
"Filming intimate moments instead of living them."
"PHONES WHILE DRIVING. Not secretly, but I find it insanely irresponsible."
"Going to work sick because 'we need you' – like they can't find someone else to cover the shift. No wonder people don't want to work."
"People just scrolling their phones nonstop for hours like it's totally normal… It's wild how addicted we all are and act like it's nothing."
"Worshipping celebrities. For example, the Kardashians. They really don't care about the everyday person. They live in mansions, fly wherever, eat the best foods, buy whatever they feel like. They truly live in another world. Why do so many people follow every social media manufactured event in their lives?"
"Disbelief in provable facts. Denialism is a real thing…"
"Speeding everywhere. Like WTF. I live in a rural area with lots of winding roads and people fly down them."
"Deny or downplay a bad situation, where recognition is the first step toward anything getting better."
"Road rage, I feel like when operating heavy machinery capable of easily killing people and destroying property, that it's top priority to keep a level head. But the way some people act or talk about others on the road or even towards pedestrians and cyclists is fucking crazy."
"Licking their fingers when they have sauce or stuff on them. That's why I fist bump instead of shaking hands. People won't and don't wash their hands anymore. Its freaking foul.."
"Check each other's phones. You say you trust each other, but do this? I don't get it."
H/T to u/ibrahimelmouttaqi and r/AskReddit for having the discussion!
