🤔 Have you ever wondered what society perceives as normal but is actually quite peculiar? Well, you’re not alone! Let’s dive into some intriguing examples of things that may seem ordinary but are actually kind of strange. Prepare to have your mind blown! 💥
Social Constructs versus Reality
– Wearing shoes indoors: In many cultures, it’s considered perfectly fine to wear shoes inside the house. However, think about all the germs and dirt that you might be tracking in! 🚫👟
– Small talk: How many times have you engaged in meaningless conversations about the weather or weekend plans? Yet, we continue to do it to maintain social norms. 🗣️🌧️
Food-Related Oddities
1. Eating breakfast for dinner: While brunch is acceptable, having eggs and bacon at night can raise eyebrows. 🥞🍳
2. Cutlery etiquette: Did you know that using the wrong fork for a specific dish can be seen as bizarre? Who knew there were so many rules! 🍴❓
Communication Quirks
– Overusing emojis: Sure, emojis are fun and expressive, but using too many can make you come across as immature or unprofessional. 🙃📱
– Generic compliments: Telling someone they’re “nice” or “cool” might seem harmless, but it lacks depth and sincerity. 😒💬
Remember, what’s considered normal is often just a product of societal conditioning. Embrace your quirks and don’t be afraid to break away from conventional standards. Keep questioning and exploring the world around you to uncover the hidden weirdness lurking beneath the surface! 😉 #StayCurious #ThinkOutsideTheBox
Giving dead people a makeover
As an autistic person, every fucking thing.
Baby or child beauty pageants …. The fuck? Lol
Investing your whole life in your job. For something so unhealthy, it sure is celebrated and pushed on people a lot.
IRL Family “influencers” who basically exploit their kids for clicks.
Reacting to people in underwear as they were naked but having no issue being on the beach/pool with almost the same wearing and being totally ok
Talking on speaker phone in public
We have an entire food group based on cow’s breast milk.
Lying elected politicians.
Influencers
deeming fathers as creepy for being a father in public, especially a single father to a toddler or child.
NOT ALL MEN ARE PEDOPHILES! WOMEN CAN BE PEDOPHILES TOOOOOOOOO
Taking pictures/videos of strangers and posting them without consent
Being able to be contacted 24 hours a day
Driving in metal death traps going up to 60 mph when other death traps are going 60 mph the opposite direction…6 inches away from you
Influencers are weird to me. Maybe because I’m older (43) I’m not sure. But the idea of putting your entire life online for people to see makes me uncomfortable. I’ve seen outtakes that some of these influencers put their kids through and it’s sick.
And I know I’m not the only one that can tell most of them are fake and acting. Bizarre.
Dancing drug commercials as they go over the deadly side effects.
Posting mundane everyday activities on social media ( eating, playing with your children, etc)
I can kind of understand big events, but that’s still a little weird also
**Spending a large portion of our waking hours indoors, staring at screens.** We evolved to be outside, interacting with the natural world. Now, many of us spend most of our time consuming information and entertainment from screens.
Sharing everything you do on social media. Cooked some food? Picture of the plate goes on Facebook. Attended a church service? Obligatory selfie that goes to instagram. The list is endless.
Making your religion and/or political views your entire identity
Hating the poor. If you’re unlucky enough to be born into poverty (like I am) pretty much every society treats you like you deserve to be in that position.
Working a decent paying job and still not being able to buy a house after 10 years. Wages are not competitive with the current rate of inflation or the housing market.
Very publicly basing your entire personality on a politician.
Pretending that plastic was ever disposable.
Spending upward of several months gross income -often using credit- to hold a simple marriage ceremony.
