“What’s A Common Rule That You Break Regularly Because You Fundamentally Disagree With It?” (45 Answers)

I agree. I'm not a big breakfast food person. I usually eat leftovers from the fridge 😋

My husband and I have been married for 40 years, and he still says that he can't understand how I can eat leftovers for breakfast. I just tell him that it is no more strange than having breakfast for dinner. To me, food is food, and it doesn't matter at what time of day it is eaten.

I always thought if breakfast is 'the most important meal of the day', why is it encouraged to eat cereal, or toast?! It makes so much more sense to eat leftovers, and I understand why so many countries outside of Europe and the states do this.

Huzzah! Cold pizza for breakfast! Cereal for dinner! Throw off the shackles of food tyranny! If I want a burrito at 5am and waffles at 5pm why can't I have it?!?!?!

There is an old saying which goes something like"breakfast like a king, dinner like a lord, supper like a pauper", meaning you need less food for energy as the day goes on.

I believe you show respect to everyone until they show me they don't deserve it. Sometimes it happens within minutes of meeting people. You get what you give. And that includes how you treat others, not just me.

Exactly! Old does not guarantee wise. If you are old and still stupid, you're stupid despite your experience and that's just sad.

Some elderly people will start barking at you for no reason and when you bark back, they start screaming about respect. Ummm, no... You get what you deserve. Doesn't matter what age you are.

As an old person, I wholeheartedly agree. Everyone deserves the respect of common courtesy until they prove otherwise, though.

"Earning" respect is a BS notion. Imagine if that were how things actually worked. I would treat you like s**t until you had jumped through whatever inscutable and personal hoops I imagine. But, then, you are also treating me like s**t because I haven't yet jumped through your hoops. Respect should be the starting point, without need to be earned. If it is lost, then things have to be worked on in order for it to be restored, sure. But it has to be the way things start.

My daughter is 16, when we go for dinner I buy her a beer, or wine. Which she openly drinks because that's legal in UK. She loves Baileys also. She tends not to have a second because she doesn't like the way she feels.

My mom said that. If I ever wanted to start smoking or drinking I should come to her so she could be safe in the knowledge that I smoke/drink clean stuff and not get sh*t from who-knows-where with who-knows-what added to it.

In my country people can't buy alcohol before 18 but parents can allow them to try a glass at home under their supervision.

My parents let my sister and I try wine when we were teenagers. Just a sip to get a taste. Drinking alcohol has never been this huge taboo or milestsone thing, which means there was little incentive to go over the limit. And it is the same for most of the people around me.

I had my first wine at 12. This is south africa. We are mystified why americans are ok with giving guns to kids but think booze is scary.

Not this again. US and Europe have very different tipping cultures and we will only get into a fight over this.

US culture aside, if I have provided my own service, I'm not tipping you. Or a machine.

I don't quite tipping in general. Like most jobs don't have it, can't we just not do it for all jobs entirely? For me it just adds an unnecessary pressure

In Florida, the totally automated CAR WASH asks for a tip (15, 18,20%) at the computerized payment kiosk. Never see a human.

Went in a gift shop on a resort in the Dominican Republic to buy a few souvenirs made my purchase and began to walk away the clerk screamed at me at the top of his lungs "Where's my tip"!!

What family would not do that? I am not going to buy my son the exact same game I have, just so he can play! What?

Yeah, buying multiple copies is just stupid. I can almost 100% guarantee that only one of us is using it at any given time, so their main complaint is b******t.

Well actually you don't. Once they pan password sharing outside of your own house you can't share anymore.

Account sharing is a rule? What?

Actually you don’t get to decide. See: “theft”

Ads are my personal red line. I block them wherever I can, esp on YT
