Theoretically, we all function based on social norms that we are supposed to learn, whether from our parents or through life experiences. In reality, from time to time, there are deviances from them due to various reasons – from people not knowing them or not wanting to adhere to them to anything else that intervenes with them sticking to social norms. 

And so, these people who do not act according to what we expect at best get strange looks, and at worst, get labeled as deviants – or sometimes even psychopaths. For examples of such cases, take a look at today’s list. From wearing jeans while working out to shopping at a supermarket at 3 am – there are plenty of ways you might be deemed psychopathic.

    Patient using crutches with medical assistance, illustrating legal actions that make people look like weirdos concept. You can promise bone marrow donation and then, at the last moment, back off.

    The intended recipient will die, as their own bone marrow has been thoroughly destroyed by medications in preparation to the transplantation. But no one can force you to help them. You have a right to change your mind, even in the morning of the planned operation. You can revoke your consent anytime.

    But you will look like a total psychopath, if *look* is the correct word.
