Smoking in public. It doesn't just harm you, it harms the people around you and pollutes the air.

Smoking ruins your lungs. A cigarette turns it to tar whereas vaping turns it into popcorn(Far worse). Oh and 85% of lung cancer deaths are related due to smoking.

Mine is probably shaking hands when you meet someone because that’s gross. Or having a pet that needs to be outside a lot (like a Samoyed) when you have an apartment or no backyard.

Sexism. Even the subtle or benevolent sexism like 'you throw like a girl', or 'watch your language there's ladies present'. It's toxic to any gender.

(not just men. Women, too, can be sexist and rude. I know, it's surprising! Women can get away with being so sexist nowadays, and a lot of people just think of men when they talk about sexism. And no, I'm not saying men aren't sexist ( I have some really annoying ashholes at my school). I am saying both/all genders can be sexist.

I'm also not saying you were implying feminism.(i am not against feminism, but i myself am not a feminist.)

I live near this couple and they have a small dog with a relatively short curly coat and two HUGE Husky-looking dogs with long, long, thick fur. Also, did I mention I live in a tropical country ON the equator so the daily temperature is ~30 degrees celcius every day?

Tropical country in the equator? Where did they even get huskies? Also, I am loving your username. It gives "I want to ride my bicycle" by queen a whole different yet suitable meaning.

School starting at 8 in the morning or even earlier - why do we like to torture kids so much?

j r 2 years ago
later start means end time becomes later too. 8am is not torture. Torture is torture. Ive also never been to a school with a late 8am start time. Hope u arent in H.S. or planning a cooperate job bc the majority of start times are 8am at typical jobs. So many types of work have other hours tho so u have that to look fwd to. Ask to be homeschooled. You can have an "unschooling" cirriculum. Google it.
Red Lotus 2 years ago (edited)
No no no no PLEASE DO NOT RECOMMEND UNSCHOOLING!! Most people fail miserably at it. I was homeschooled, which is different from unschooling, but not everyone can do that. Some people are better off at school, maybe because their parents can't teach them or they just thrive in the busy environment. But all unschooling that I've seen is terrible, I met a 10 year old girl who COULDN'T READ because she was "unschooled" by her mother.

Well, my school used to start at about 6 am. I still think it was torture.

The whole "if you don't do this because you feel bad, you're weak" mentality. My mother unknowingly has this (mainly around periods because of how people acted towards her when she was my age) and it's really problematic. I have to go through life as if nothing is wrong in copious amounts of pain, until I get home and can flop on the couch and swear at everything.

People licking their fingers and then touching something else. It's not only disgusting but unsanitary. Ex. Customers lick their fingers to separate bags. Stop doing this. How do any of us know you aren't sick or carrying some kind of transmittable disease? Then there's my mom. A week ago, she made porkchops but, one of the porkchops was stuck to the aluminum foul so what does she do? She licks her fingers and then tries to separate it from the foil. Naturally, I refused to touch that porkchop after what she did. She didn't get what the "big deal" was and I had to tell her it was disgusting. That I didn't want the porkchop after she licked her fingers.

Being late. Its very rude especially if you don’t let the person know in advance. In some countries it’s normal to be late but most of the time it’s frowned upon. I’m not gonna wait for you to show up an hour later for my party because at that point just don’t come. Especially if you don’t let me know in advance. Being on time makes a great first impression in general.

“Progressive” soft on crime policies. No bail (at least in NY). There would be less crime, if criminals were taken off the streets and properly prosecuted

The utter ignorance of proper language usage. With predictive text, spell check and speech to text, there really is no time saved by using countless abbreviations and acronyms. More than a few times I have misunderstood the meaning of a message or a post because the author used an acronym that was easily confused for something else. If something is important enough to say, let alone write, shouldn’t it be important enough to be sure the meaning is understood by everyone? To quote a great work of fiction ‘Inherit the Wind’ by Jerome Lawrence - “I don’t swear just for the hell of it. Language is a poor enough means of communication. I think we should use all the words we’ve got. Besides, there are damn few words that anybody understands.” Spoken by character Henry Drummond.

Exactly... We shouldn't become grammar police, but I've spent way too many times wondering how may more milliseconds it would have taken for that person to write "by the way" instead of "btw". Using one or two abbreviations occasionally is ok, but there are people who construct entire sentences out of them.

Having only two bathrooms that are identical then labeling them ‘Male’ and ‘Female’ Because 1) Unisex people! Am I only allowed to take a p**s at home? 2) WHY HAVE ONLY TWO TOILETS I SWEAR THIS IRRITATES ME SO MUCH. Also, women’s bathrooms having less toilets then men’s bathrooms because the men’s bathrooms have urinals and toilets whereas the women’s bathrooms have the same amount of toilets as the mens but THE DESIGNERS DONT GIVE WOMEN EXTRA TOILETS FOR URINALS CAUSING A SUPER F*****G LONG LINE. Thanks for listening

In China, about half of the toilets are unisex. Lotta pressure to not make noises. It’s not like that TV comedy Ally McBeal - there’s no inter gender convo

People thinking rich = smart, and thinking smart = knowledgeable. Far too many rich people know just one thing, or got lucky, and everyone still thinks their opinions on everything matters more than actual experts. Also, thinking education is only preparing people for jobs instead of seeing that a good education is to enrich one’s life. Jobs come and go, interesting thoughts are forever. Quality of life matters.
