In a public restroom, when there is at least one other person in another stall but it’s very quiet, suddenly burst into loud laughter from your stall. I accidentally did this once in my dorm’s shared restroom because I randomly thought of something funny. Laughter is somehow more concerning to hear from a bathroom stall than crying.
second one is definitely some self care level shit. Nothing as nice as eating a good meal by yourself. Being alone is not the same as being Lonely folks
“Holding the door open for men.” “Saying hello to strangers.” These things are very normal where I’m from. You just hold open the door for anyone, it’s polite. Why would you basically just close the door in their face if they’re just a couple foot lengths behind? Also I don’t personally say hello to strangers, at least not first. You’ll make eye contact with someone, smile and say a “hello” before moving on. Usually if there’s no one around and you’re just passing on the street.
Yeah I also don't get this one, I also refuse to believe that even the oldest most hardcore conservative would bother to waste time debating gender roles with a stranger who held a door open for them
I always tell people "have fun! dont fall in!" when they go to the bathroom. Puts a smile on their face or you get a fun response back. Also, when they take too long, ask if you need to get the plunger to help them out of the water.
My favorite thing to do is just be completely blunt with literally anyone im having a conversation with lol. For example, once i was talking to my then crush and just went "yeah i like you," out of nowhere. Its a real treat when it comes to doing something like that.
Half the stuff I do is against social norms 😏 Harmless, but odd. 1) I keep a bunch of stuff in my purse, including (but not limited to) cough drops, tissues, tortillas, salt/pepper/ketchup packets, a random rock, and even a compact umbrella. 2) Hopping down stairs like a penguin 3) Telling girls in the restroom who are doing touch-ups on their makeup: "Don't worry ☺️ You're still gorgeous." 4) Say "How DARE you??" in a comically aghast voice when someone apologizes for something silly. --- Funny thing is, when people ask me why I do the thing, I ask them "Why not? 😶" They never have a good counterargument.
wear black and dark colors most of the time and then wear bright fun colors; wear bright funky color lipstick (with dark clothes or normal colored clothes); wearing multiple colors of nail polish on each hand (usually 2 or 3); saying "good morning" (or evening one afternoon depending on the time) to almost everyone; waiting for a response when I ask how someone is; being proud of my nerdiness/geekiness; going into the library by me so often that almost everyone there knows me, etc
6:29 hell yeah dude, this should be done more often. I started talking to my superiors at work like this and guess what?! It landed me a new job which was recommended by the president of my company because he saw me in a different way and I think he appreciated that I talked to him like a normal person whereas all my coworkers are scared of him and won’t talk to him. Now my coworkers are jealous that I got promoted and think they deserved the promotion instead of me. Too bad my dudes, maybe you should try doing what I did and just talk to the guy like he’s a fucking normal human being.
0:40 I have found that sometimes, the only way to answer that question honestly but politely is to take the Fifth. If things are going to crap, I will literally tell people, when asked, that I respectfully decline to answer that question. They immediately get it, and usually laugh.
I'm a woman and wear men's style t-shirts all the time. Men's graphic tees are usually WAY better looking than women's. I've also worn men's shoes before
11:59 One time when I did this, the guy was so not used to it he opened and went through the door right beside me, then realized I was opening it for him and awkwardly said thank you before speed walking away
Going alone at places like restaurants or movies is certainly fun and it has made me realise that if I go to these places alone it generally gets me double the amount of attention from the everyone especially the workers. Like the very first time I went to my favourite restaurant by myself, my server, whom I've known for a while now and was almost like a friend at that point, suddenly started flirting with me. We did ended up going out for a while and broke it off on good terms with each other when I had to move away.
It seems to me that a lot of people that are super weepy at funerals are often extra weepy because they realize they didn't spend enough time with those they loved and now can't, or mistreated them, or etc etc etc. some loose end that is eating them up inside. My family is quite the opposite, and while we are sad the person is gone, we aren't inconsolable wrecks. We have conversations, jokes and laughter and such as we reminisced about the deceased. To some 'weepy funerals' it seemed an inappropriate amount of joviality. The funeral director we regularly used learned to keep other funerals on the other side of the building because there'd be laughter and such coming from our area.
12:50 ME TOO!!! I've been doing it for years and it's always funny to see people's reactions, and I also say it when people announce that they're going to places or do things that require no luck at all. It's very fun! 😁
oh my gosh. im pretty crazy shy when it comes to trying to order, practicing the speech yadda yadda. I'm at subway and it's time to list off veggies. "Yeah so can I have some cucumbers on that?" "No." "Oh ok." I stood there staring at my reflection in the glass. nothing could have ever prepared me for that. But good golly was that a fun story to tell, because after a while he just kinda laughed and went 'Yeah sure."
1. Not burying my face in my smartphone when I'm on public transportation. 2. Saying "good luck" whenever someone announces they're going somewhere or going to do something, especially when people are going to bathroom or when idgaf about what they're going to do. 3. Eating clamentines extremely slowly one pulp at a time to savor the taste for longer. Drives my mom mad for some reason. 4. Wearing mismatched socks. I do try to keep them the same length however, but other than that life is too short to wear matching socks! 5. Wearing whatever is in your closet without matching colors. Sometimes it turns out looking good or at least not awful, but sometimes I have literally nothing to wear and I end up wearing an array of color blocks or patterns. I ain't got no money to buy extra clothes so that I I'd always have an option to match! Shit's expensive!
Funny thing is, in my country 'how are you' would be an actual question. It is very unlikely asked by a stranger and an honest answer is definetelly an option, depending on how comfertable you are with someone. Acually, the answer I would most expect when asking someone how they are, would be something in the line of 'good, busy. A lot of people are sick at the office now, the time of year again. How is college going for you?' Many options here
I'm female and the only time I went to the movies by myself was to see Escape From Alcatraz starring Clint Eastwood. I was late and made my way to a good seat just as the part where the boat was making it's way to the island in complete darkness. When the scene changed and there was light on the screen I realized with horror there was only two of us in the entire cinema. The other person was a man and I was sitting right next to him. I've never been so embarrassed in my entire life. It put me off for good.
For example: I have friends. We like to see movies together from time to time. None of these friends like the new Star Wars films. I in fact do like the new Star Wars films. To prevent having the coming film ruined I will simply have to watch it alone.
@@DaidriveCJ this makes zero sense to me. You're literally paying to have a cool experience of watching a movie on the big screen. That's it. In fact, in essence, you're paying to be in a public space where you're encouraged not to interact with anything or anyone for 2-3 hours. How is that "suspect"? And just because it's typically a social activity doesn't mean it doesn't have intrinsic value even if you're alone. Going to an amusement park to ride the rides is still fun even if you're not a family or something.
Eat dessert first or whenever you go to a restaurant eat a sugar packet (especially at olive garden), my grandpa taught these to all of us kids and we have kept his tradition alive. Also at restaurants in most casinos they have bingo cards and black crayons sitting on the table and I almost always draw pictures for the waiters with them, I'm an adult.
I love the little individual cups of coffee creamer at fast food places. I can't resist drinking one or two when I see them sitting out. I have gotten some really strange look's. I don't drink them as openly when my wife is with me but if it's just me I don't care to even try to hide it. Lol
@@torispaide1347 Yes people think you're crazy in England if you say hello to a stranger. Some towns are extremely unfriendly. I moved to a different town and spent the first year crying every time I left my flat. It's horrible. Some towns are very friendly though. Unfortunately I'm not living in one of the nice ones...😪
@@cannedgoodness9633 Yup, but it doesn't mean I do constantly. There are things I won't tell others about, there are things I'm not ready to tell, and those that I already told. Revising what is safe to, and what should be told regardless is rather natural, at least as a vow to gain trust of the people you feel you can trust. People are unable to lie all of the time, and are afraid if dishonesty is exposed. That's why due to holding morally unacceptable secrets, they will judge you moreso than they'll judge themselves. Putting high-end expectations and low-end worth on others, and doing it simultaneously, is a good way of producing confusion, then cautiousness, then fear. It's a good thing, until it's used to exploit and stigmatize the truth that lies beneath a facade, only to protect oneself and strive to expose the lies of others, as if trying to redirect the possibility of negative attention to someone else. Truths are rotten and hurtful, therefore a taboo, if not giving in to the convenience of a person, but that's why breaking through them and accepting the flawed and true version of yourself is fun. It shows an entirely new, disgusting and baffled side to the human you are speaking to, and side of you that is challenging your own comfort, your own ego. That is a sign of allowing yourself to realize imperfection, and to then do your best to overcome yourself instead of going up with endless excuses and living a completely delusional life(note that you don't have to be honest with others, just being honest with yourself and deciding, if you want to change or not is enough to break that long-existing social norm). With bias, it is kind of a different story of what exactly is allowed, since there's no presence of fear in an overwhelming manner here, only conflict, lack of awareness and vanity. Both no one and everyone, for different reasons, will try to reshape the sentiments of others, only to gather a vote for the truth to appeal to the majority, or to fit in, or for something else. It's really easy to break this one, and it is just up to what you are trying to accomplish with holding and/or pushing a certain agenda. Overcoming a bias is not about changing the opinions and directly opposing ones, but rather just learning from jutaxposition of different stances to have a broader understanding of concepts. It's not hard to do, if someone is not too far up in their own ass. There's not shame in abandoning pride to learn too.
For me, I love breaking the "don't talk to strangers" rule! Though it has got me into a lot of trouble, I feel that you can learn the most from talking with people, especially languages. For example: -- In Geneva, Switzerland, I spoke with the receptionists for 2.5 hours, without stopping, to improve my French. This was 2.5 hours EVERY DAY for ten consecutive days, PLUS time interacting with EVERY guest at the hotel, including children. My French went from non-existent (maybe fifteen words), to conversational. I still speak at an A2 to B1 level, after just 10 days. -- In Madrid, where I was just recently, I spoke with the staff until the professor I was with on the study abroad programme threatened to send me home if I didn't stop. I just did it when he wasn't there, and improved my Spanish. Until he caught me speaking with guests, and told me the next time I spoke with guests, he would send me home... -- In Vienna, where I am now, I make sure to speak with the receptionists for some time each day in German or Serbian. I've improved it. You get the idea. I am not going to not practise a language just because it offends people.
My favorite social norm to break is challenging social norms in an office setting. I work in manufacturing and other blue-collar jobs, but hold a BBA and am going to school for an MBA. Getting someone with calloused hands, t-shirt and jean work clothes, and a bulky figure puts people at odds with me, and I like to take a step back and poke fun at people because of it. It gets me into a lot of trouble when I do it, but it gets me the pleasure of seeing the shocked looks on their faces and gets me out of that type of setting that I didn't want to be put in in the first place.
i would threaten to hug my regional bosses when i worked in retail, we were told that Ron our regional boss, i would say oh cool, i'll hug him when i see him, our store manager would get all flustered and say no chad! i wink and say nope too bad hahaha, the day comes, i see Ron, i yell his name and walk like i am about to hug him, only at the last second give him a hand shake, while looking at my boss, who is clearly freaking out hahaha or when other bosses asked if i did something, i would say with a smile NOPE! ok cool thank you for doing it, hahaha
I have food puns. I work with a lot of food so I started saying puns and nobody tells me to totally stopped. They’ve told me to get out and whatnot but never to end the shenanigans!!
12:52 when people say that they are going to the bathroom, I usually wish them good luck too. It never fails to give them a laugh, albeit a confused one😂
1) Not blinking when you talk to people. 2) When a cashier or clerk asks the vacuous question of "How are you?" (or any variant) replying, "Why do you ask? *Do you know something I don't?"* 3) Loudly whistling the 'Jeopardy' theme in a moving elevator.... And stopping, mid-note, every time the doors open. Pick up where you left off when the doors close.
I like to dance in place. When i’m bored or start to get sad, i dance in place maybe softly singing (if not in a store/crowded place) and that makes me smile. My sisters either laugh or join me and that makes me smile more.
One time I ate at the Lazy Dog Cafe, a restaurant that welcomes dogs. I brought my cat in a stroller (take her on walks often.) All the waitresses went wild over her.
6:54 instead of miss match socks they should go for socks of different length but still the same design and remember to do this in shorts or else they won’t notice
sometimes when people stare at me i like to stare right back at them until they’re out of my sight. funniest shit ever, even funnier with friends

I never use the lil divider stick on the conveyor belt at the grocery store, so I can watch what people will go through to put it there. Some people will freak and stop everything to put it there, especially if beer is the first item
To me, it always feels so weird to think about everyone always answering "good" to "how have you been?"🤔 Here, it's more that everyone says at least something more with it if they've been good, if not they'll quite likely tell you. English teachers though tend to tell the students that "Oh, even though it normal here, you'll be looked at weirdly (in like the US or the UK) if you answer a 'how are you?' with truthfully telling about your day, complaining, etc."😂 It tends to be one of those "fun facts"😂 (Another fun fact that beginner English students always find funny: the English word "hi" is pronounced more or less identically to our word for "shark"~)
I wore a bell a couple times to school once. I don't regret it either. So, I guess wearing weird accessories without any context and everyone questions you about and I just say "because I can".
I'm always doing little things like this. Last week when I left a restaurant I looked at a table of people and said "Have a great meal, random strangers!" I made one guy laugh :D
Working retail, customers come to the register and ask how I'm doing- I'll always great them with something to the tune of "still breathing" or "above ground, can't complain". Beats the usual "good" or whatever
The whole “You have to be as old as the ESRB rating for that game says so” thing.Fuck that, I play borderlands, I watch Stranger Things, I say “Deez nuts”, YOU CAN’T STOP ME!
Maybe it's not a thing in some other regions of the US, and I know it's not common in a lot of other countries at all, but in the midwest everyone holds the door open for everyone
Completely ignoring stupid questions. Especially at interviews - "Why do you want the job?", "Why should we employ you?", "How would you maximise customer service?". Very useful for identifying idiots - they're the ones who press for answers.
@@emilyhamilton8766 Interviewing is a two way process. If the employer can't answer your questions, or has only dumb questions for you, the job isn't worth having. As for how to get past a dumb question, you can ask a better one of your own, or give an answer to a question they _should_ have asked. They tend to like anecdotes.
I dance in public. Not particularly well, but often. To the slightly bit of music or thoughts of music. Mostly when I'm with someone so they can be embarrassed. And then I try to dance in a way that includes them. If they refuse, I point at them while I dance. I follow them. "The point" gesture lasts far longer than it ever should to the point it actually draws more attention to me than the person I am pointing at. Keep the arm and finger out despite the strain that starts to build that it even hurts. Keep pointing.
I also say “have fun” when someone tells me their going to the bathroom. All my coworkers thought it was weird at first but now they all do it cause they think it’s funny 😂
I’m glad I’m not the only person that goes to the movies or restaurants alone, I’ve been single for 26 of my 29 years of life so when I wanna go do something I just do it.
Wow, I do soooo many of these. Never seen the issue with going to cinema or a concert on your own. In the last 6 months I’ve been to 4 concerts & 3 of them I’ve gone on my own.
6:07 I also do this tbh. I honestly don’t think I could act like the guy who can barely operate a computer without my help is above me even though he technically is.
(Partially) Wearing medieval or weird clothes (for example a Gugel) in everyday life is fun. Gugels are very practical and people will stare at you, not believing what they see.
I like to give my boyfriend my arm when we're walking and sometimes I'll pay for his food and I'll be like "I'm your bodyguard and I'm protect y" type of vibe it's super fun to see people's reactions
I'm trying to be more confident when it comes to breaking social norms and so I don't wear a bra, its constricting and uncomfortable. So I just don't wear it.
I remember once a customer paid some hundred-dollar purchase ENTIRELY in 2 dollar bills, and I was like “Uuuuuh...” I reported it to my manager afterward because I was so weirded out by it, but they said it was legit. I had no idea where to keep in in the register though 😂
I’m right handed, trained myself at a young age to hold steaks with a fork in my right hand and cut with a knife in my left hand. And why not? Work smarter, not harder

I moved to a different town and spent the first year crying every time I left my flat. It's horrible. Some towns are very friendly though. Unfortunately I'm not living in one of the nice ones...😪
I don't even smile at people I see every day, so why would I smile at strangers? And doesn't your face hurt after smiling all day for no reason?
@@Fr0zenPeanut Not really I've been doing it for years.
Whenever I sneeze, I'll exclaim "Whose talking sh*t about me??" if anyone's around.
Then I sometimes get a confused "Bless you?" back lol
Answering frankly when asked about something, that's called living outside USA lol
Antikia Nooo not at all... a lot of people in the US do this including me
having a mental breakdown in the classroom instead of the bathroom
I’m pretty sure that has happened to everyone at least once.
Being honest, unbiased and open-minded.
I doubt you are the first two, nobody truly is
@@cannedgoodness9633 Yup, but it doesn't mean I do constantly. There are things I won't tell others about, there are things I'm not ready to tell, and those that I already told. Revising what is safe to, and what should be told regardless is rather natural, at least as a vow to gain trust of the people you feel you can trust.
People are unable to lie all of the time, and are afraid if dishonesty is exposed. That's why due to holding morally unacceptable secrets, they will judge you moreso than they'll judge themselves.
Putting high-end expectations and low-end worth on others, and doing it simultaneously, is a good way of producing confusion, then cautiousness, then fear. It's a good thing, until it's used to exploit and stigmatize the truth that lies beneath a facade, only to protect oneself and strive to expose the lies of others, as if trying to redirect the possibility of negative attention to someone else.
Truths are rotten and hurtful, therefore a taboo, if not giving in to the convenience of a person, but that's why breaking through them and accepting the flawed and true version of yourself is fun. It shows an entirely new, disgusting and baffled side to the human you are speaking to, and side of you that is challenging your own comfort, your own ego. That is a sign of allowing yourself to realize imperfection, and to then do your best to overcome yourself instead of going up with endless excuses and living a completely delusional life(note that you don't have to be honest with others, just being honest with yourself and deciding, if you want to change or not is enough to break that long-existing social norm).
With bias, it is kind of a different story of what exactly is allowed, since there's no presence of fear in an overwhelming manner here, only conflict, lack of awareness and vanity. Both no one and everyone, for different reasons, will try to reshape the sentiments of others, only to gather a vote for the truth to appeal to the majority, or to fit in, or for something else.
It's really easy to break this one, and it is just up to what you are trying to accomplish with holding and/or pushing a certain agenda. Overcoming a bias is not about changing the opinions and directly opposing ones, but rather just learning from jutaxposition of different stances to have a broader understanding of concepts. It's not hard to do, if someone is not too far up in their own ass. There's not shame in abandoning pride to learn too.
black morph suit, emotionless white mask, done
The restroom one sounds hilarious 🤣 I'm not a good actor though...
For me, I love breaking the "don't talk to strangers" rule!
Though it has got me into a lot of trouble, I feel that you can learn the most from talking with people, especially languages.
For example:
-- In Geneva, Switzerland, I spoke with the receptionists for 2.5 hours, without stopping, to improve my French. This was 2.5 hours EVERY DAY for ten consecutive days, PLUS time interacting with EVERY guest at the hotel, including children. My French went from non-existent (maybe fifteen words), to conversational. I still speak at an A2 to B1 level, after just 10 days.
-- In Madrid, where I was just recently, I spoke with the staff until the professor I was with on the study abroad programme threatened to send me home if I didn't stop. I just did it when he wasn't there, and improved my Spanish. Until he caught me speaking with guests, and told me the next time I spoke with guests, he would send me home...
-- In Vienna, where I am now, I make sure to speak with the receptionists for some time each day in German or Serbian. I've improved it.
You get the idea. I am not going to not practise a language just because it offends people.
My favorite social norm to break is challenging social norms in an office setting. I work in manufacturing and other blue-collar jobs, but hold a BBA and am going to school for an MBA. Getting someone with calloused hands, t-shirt and jean work clothes, and a bulky figure puts people at odds with me, and I like to take a step back and poke fun at people because of it. It gets me into a lot of trouble when I do it, but it gets me the pleasure of seeing the shocked looks on their faces and gets me out of that type of setting that I didn't want to be put in in the first place.
i would threaten to hug my regional bosses when i worked in retail, we were told that Ron our regional boss, i would say oh cool, i'll hug him when i see him, our store manager would get all flustered and say no chad! i wink and say nope too bad hahaha, the day comes, i see Ron, i yell his name and walk like i am about to hug him, only at the last second give him a hand shake, while looking at my boss, who is clearly freaking out hahaha or when other bosses asked if i did something, i would say with a smile NOPE! ok cool thank you for doing it, hahaha
0:33 I thought It's normal to say "Bye, have a nice day"
I have food puns. I work with a lot of food so I started saying puns and nobody tells me to totally stopped. They’ve told me to get out and whatnot but never to end the shenanigans!!
12:52 when people say that they are going to the bathroom, I usually wish them good luck too. It never fails to give them a laugh, albeit a confused one😂
1) Not blinking when you talk to people.
2) When a cashier or clerk asks the vacuous question of "How are you?" (or any variant) replying, "Why do you ask? *Do you know something I don't?"*
3) Loudly whistling the 'Jeopardy' theme in a moving elevator.... And stopping, mid-note, every time the doors open. Pick up where you left off when the doors close.
I like to dance in place. When i’m bored or start to get sad, i dance in place maybe softly singing (if not in a store/crowded place) and that makes me smile. My sisters either laugh or join me and that makes me smile more.
One time I ate at the Lazy Dog Cafe, a restaurant that welcomes dogs. I brought my cat in a stroller (take her on walks often.) All the waitresses went wild over her.
6:54 instead of miss match socks they should go for socks of different length but still the same design and remember to do this in shorts or else they won’t notice
Not today
sometimes when people stare at me i like to stare right back at them until they’re out of my sight. funniest shit ever, even funnier with friends
I never use the lil divider stick on the conveyor belt at the grocery store, so I can watch what people will go through to put it there. Some people will freak and stop everything to put it there, especially if beer is the first item
not today shark boi not today
Never shake hands or fist bump. Instead i offer an elbow. (practical reason is that I work food.)
Whenever people go anywhere, like leave the room or anything, I always say “Drive safe!”
To me, it always feels so weird to think about everyone always answering "good" to "how have you been?"🤔
Here, it's more that everyone says at least something more with it if they've been good, if not they'll quite likely tell you.
English teachers though tend to tell the students that "Oh, even though it normal here, you'll be looked at weirdly (in like the US or the UK) if you answer a 'how are you?' with truthfully telling about your day, complaining, etc."😂 It tends to be one of those "fun facts"😂
(Another fun fact that beginner English students always find funny: the English word "hi" is pronounced more or less identically to our word for "shark"~)
I say "that's fun" to bad things. Usually gets me a weird look with new friends, but my family and close friends are used to it by now
I wore a bell a couple times to school once. I don't regret it either. So, I guess wearing weird accessories without any context and everyone questions you about and I just say "because I can".
I'm always doing little things like this. Last week when I left a restaurant I looked at a table of people and said "Have a great meal, random strangers!" I made one guy laugh :D
"Answer frankly when people ask how it's going". Welcome to Northern and Western Europe
Working retail, customers come to the register and ask how I'm doing- I'll always great them with something to the tune of "still breathing" or "above ground, can't complain". Beats the usual "good" or whatever
eating at restaurants by yourself is acceptable if it's lunch
The whole “You have to be as old as the ESRB rating for that game says so” thing.Fuck that, I play borderlands, I watch Stranger Things, I say “Deez nuts”, YOU CAN’T STOP ME!
At my work we almost never talk to the bosses like they are higher up- I’ve told my boss I hate him joking a lot.
6:48 AYYYYEEEE I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE!
Edit: not today
Maybe it's not a thing in some other regions of the US, and I know it's not common in a lot of other countries at all, but in the midwest everyone holds the door open for everyone
Tbf the first one would be so chill for the shy people.
Completely ignoring stupid questions. Especially at interviews - "Why do you want the job?", "Why should we employ you?", "How would you maximise customer service?".
Very useful for identifying idiots - they're the ones who press for answers.
What do you say then? Have ever done this and got the job? How?
@@emilyhamilton8766 Interviewing is a two way process. If the employer can't answer your questions, or has only dumb questions for you, the job isn't worth having.
As for how to get past a dumb question, you can ask a better one of your own, or give an answer to a question they _should_ have asked. They tend to like anecdotes.
I dance in public. Not particularly well, but often. To the slightly bit of music or thoughts of music. Mostly when I'm with someone so they can be embarrassed. And then I try to dance in a way that includes them. If they refuse, I point at them while I dance. I follow them. "The point" gesture lasts far longer than it ever should to the point it actually draws more attention to me than the person I am pointing at. Keep the arm and finger out despite the strain that starts to build that it even hurts. Keep pointing.
I also say “have fun” when someone tells me their going to the bathroom. All my coworkers thought it was weird at first but now they all do it cause they think it’s funny 😂
I’m glad I’m not the only person that goes to the movies or restaurants alone, I’ve been single for 26 of my 29 years of life so when I wanna go do something I just do it.
Wow, I do soooo many of these. Never seen the issue with going to cinema or a concert on your own.
In the last 6 months I’ve been to 4 concerts & 3 of them I’ve gone on my own.
I love doing handshakes as awkward as possible. The look on their face out of confusion is the best part
Protoss that just makes you look dumb
not today
My boss does the truthful how are you answering. Me - okay, take care
Him - I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow
singing while walking down the street
6:07 I also do this tbh. I honestly don’t think I could act like the guy who can barely operate a computer without my help is above me even though he technically is.
Yah where I live, saying hello, good morning, etc and smiling is normal
(Partially) Wearing medieval or weird clothes (for example a Gugel) in everyday life is fun. Gugels are very practical and people will stare at you, not believing what they see.
1:44 this, but I don't have to pretend lol
Sometimes if no ones around, I circle the roundabout until someone comes.
The door-holding wars are a constant experience in canada
You know, instead of offering free candy to kids fro my white van, I decided to offer Gamer Girl bathwater. I'm not like everyone else.
I like to give my boyfriend my arm when we're walking and sometimes I'll pay for his food and I'll be like "I'm your bodyguard and I'm protect y" type of vibe it's super fun to see people's reactions
I'm trying to be more confident when it comes to breaking social norms and so I don't wear a bra, its constricting and uncomfortable. So I just don't wear it.
I like the one about speaking casually 2 bosses. After all, bosses are meant to be superior in the workplace not in life.
Socks: Each of the menfolk (hubby, 2 sons), has their own color, bought 6 pairs at a time. I don't wear socks.
I've seen someone have, not 1, but at least 2 BIG pigs as pets 10 minutes from down town. They're big enough my dad confused one for a garbage can.
I remember once a customer paid some hundred-dollar purchase ENTIRELY in 2 dollar bills, and I was like “Uuuuuh...” I reported it to my manager afterward because I was so weirded out by it, but they said it was legit. I had no idea where to keep in in the register though 😂
I’m right handed, trained myself at a young age to hold steaks with a fork in my right hand and cut with a knife in my left hand. And why not? Work smarter, not harder
Social taboos are fun to break especially the pointless ones.
I frequently eat my meals in reverse order especially if I'm having a burger or a steak.
Slaughtering the innocent and eliminating the middle class
I absolutely refused to speak to a superior as if they are superior bit of a self respect thing and also a confidence thing
$2 bill user: I once paid with a Sacagawea dollar, and the cashier had to call her manager over to tell her what it was.
Two dollar bills are a thing?!!!
I'm in the UK and have never heard of this.
I sometimes can sneeze 10 times in a row I love when I do it people’s reactions are great 😊.
I just want to play the Macarena, char char slide or Saturday night in public and see who starts dancing.
