I agree. Sometimes the quality has actually decreased with the higher price. I do wonder why people drive huge trucks since they are "gas hogs", costing them more money. Besides, depleting natural resources is harmful to our planet and worsens global warming. (Note that global warming refers to melting ice caps, which cause both too hot AND too cold, or weather extremes.)

“Being Able To Fix Things Yourself”: 30 Things Young People Find Odd That Used To Be Normal

To be open and honest, we are told by mental health professionals, is the best way to behave. Yet, emotional unavailability and emotional immaturity are very common in our American society. Being authentic (behavior consistent with values) versus being shallow and superficial (pandering to societal expectations). That goal is a genuine struggle, and one we may have to pursue on our own. I think the primary goal is to feel good about yourself, without knocking down people who are different than you. Making someone feel bad, such as calling them fat, will not make you any thinner, for example.

“Being Able To Fix Things Yourself”: 30 Things Young People Find Odd That Used To Be Normal

Sorry, but I remember the idea of "being yourself" as an ideal way to be, yet it never was actually respected. It seems to me that being unique is both encouraged and discouraged, at the same time. Labels, social classes, categories, and stereotypes seem to be required by a civilized society.

“When someone gives me an unexpected compliment - like when a friend says ‘Oh! You look glowing today’ or ‘Oh! You smell really nice today’. I didn’t do anything special to look or smell good that day, so it’s a pleasant surprise.”

Employee Follows The "Customer Is Always Right" Rule Literally After Being Written Up, The Boss Pays With His Job

As far as I know, worker ( employee) representatives in America are for employers who have a union. So, respectfully, I can't imagine that every employer in all of France has representatives at disciplinary meetings. Some people believe anything they read. I think it's important to be carefully specific. Thanks.

Yes. And when straight actors behave that way, to ensure we know. I don't have what people call "gay radar". I've been attracted to men, who I found out about later. It was a huge surprise to read about Rock Hudson.

Good point. It's as if they both know the conversation is over, and no one will be offended by not saying "bye".

I think I've never seen a gun being shot IRL. Took me awhile to realize, as I've seen it in so many movies and in a few TV shows.

Agreed that perfect comebacks are obviously written in the script. More realistic is when the actor/character can't think of a good response and is struggling.

It doesn't necessarily take me out of the plot, but, it bothers me when: two blue eyed parents have biological children with brown eyes. I guess matching the best actors takes precedence over 101 Biology.

Deserving to be parents is a good point. When adopting, people are held to very high standards. Yet, almost any woman can give birth without the same scrutiny, with some exceptions, such as drug addicts and incarcerated criminals.

This is also very specic, but I believe it's a good example of following the Golden Rule. When the person behind you in line to pay has only 1 or 2 items, and you have several, let them go ahead of you.

Sometimes our parents teach us how NOT to behave. My own mom still hasn't learned how to communicate respectfully, openly or honestly.

Agreed. It's annoying to me when people use obscure words, as if to prove they have a huge vocabulary. As if that is more important than being understood.

Oops. I guess my comment was misunderstood. I do agree that it's mean to leave a cart in wrong places, and out in the rain. But name calling and being told you're going to hell is extreme.

I've had dreams of going to the wrong classroom, and then wandering empty hallways, unable to find the right class.

It's so easy to take medication at the wrong time, or too often. I now keep a notebook of meds and times. It's so helpful when I can't remember, what I took, or when because I was on "autopilot".

For laughs, my dad would tell me to pat my head and rub my stomach at the same time. Without fail, I was soon rubbing my head and patting my stomach.

Sounds like a toxic work environment. I feel your pain. What I don't understand is how you can be on "autopilot" while planning suicide. That's a permanent solution.

Hey Pandas, What Have You Observed In Movies, That You Don't Recall Seeing In Real Life?

For me, it's 2 main things: 1. When people, especially guys, nod (without one word)in a way to communicate ( e.g., come here, go there, etc.) 2. Smoking cigarettes makes you "cool".

I hate it when people leave a trolley in the parking bay.

Down vote me if you must, but I'm disabled with severe asthma and by the time I get through the store and struggle to unload the cart, it's all I can do to just get in the car. And the cart corrals are never near the disabled parking. Can't this exception be made?

Hey Pandas, What Is Your Best Autopilot Moment?

Trying to unlock my (manual) front door lock with the key fob from my car. I always lock / unlock my van with the buttons because it prevents me from accidentally locking the keys in the van. But a couple of times when I got home I pointed the fob at my front door and expected it to do something. Brain fart moment. At least I live where nobody sees me do this. lol
