Hey Pandas, What’s Something That Seems Normal But Isn’t?

My parents have pretty rare sense. That’s not a good thing btw

in order to have common sense for something you first need to learn about it at least once thats what people forget, its not common till you learn it then make it common for YOU

So I take it the downvotes are from people who do what I mentioned above. Classy !

I was a kid that was brought to the above places, but instead of policing everyone else, my parents focused on my behaviour to make sure no one around us was inconvenienced because they brought a kid. The exception being r-rated films, my parents never took me to those. When i saw John Wick 3 there was a dad there with his son and the son was sitting next to me. He was so squeamish and scared and kept asking his dad to leave. About 40min in I asked the kid if he wanted to leave and asked the dad if he could take him. The dad was like "no he has to toughen up". The kid was like 6. The kid literally started to turn into me to hide. I finally was over it and said "the movie is too scary for me, I'm going to wait outside". Within 5min of being out there the kid came out and sat next to me. Dad didn't show up until after the movie and yelled at me. Parents need to parent.

It seems that the downvotes suggest that this ought *not ever* be considered normalized......

Never thought of it that way, but you’re right!

Do not you dare ever say that again lol

these are the kinds of shower thoughts i have.

YOU JUST BLEW MY MIND. THIS NEEDS TO BE HIGHER UP.

I so wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. But him and his family considered stay-at-home parents "lazy" and "non-contributing". I believe he purposely hid money, spent more than he divulged just to complain we were always broke and beg his parents for money in contempt, so I would look like problem. .. sorry. end rant.

This needs to keep going higher..... (although sadly some folks make a *better* choice to do this and put some stranger in the role :'-(

I used a word which I guess isn't common anymore and got strange looks. I said "I went to do something, but got waylaid" and the person I was talking to thought I said I got laid because he had never heard of being waylaid. Extra weird because he thought I was talking about getting laid in front of the kids we work with.

People now laugh at me and get confused when something breaks and I say "It's had the biscuit." My mom always said it. I thought everyone knew what that meant.

My husband’s first language is Spanish and he gets so confused. I recently said “he’s too big for his britches”, then realized I had to start by explaining what britches even were!!

could you please give an example, i'm a bit struggling with this one..😬

I'm so sorry about the teachers. To your mean teachers, I say, "skroink you, you squangling dronglebugs!"

i say they are strange and weird for the obsession with if you want to talk or not... and being cruel about it. that's what's freaking weird.

You are not weird. You are a watcher. All that means is that perhaps you would rather watch the world and people until you feel like you understand. I was picked on by kids and teachers too. Kids, because I was "weird"... because I'd rather read than play with them, or had too much imagination. Teachers, because I seemed so distracted all the time. Truth of it was.... I couldn't see the blackboard, and was bored.

Fortunate its low blood pressure and not something worse.

Me

waaatt!!! it’s not normal??? (like, actually wowified)

aww

This should DEFINITELY be higher.....

i think its because you havent learned everything that adults have done but if you do something better before others, it makes if more stood out

I'm jealous. If I was better at math I'd have had the science jobs I wanted. Once you start adding the alphabet to numbers . . .

I, 50, am lucky to have both

I used to be one of these people, but I'm not sure if I am anymore tbh. I'm passing though!

aloha

Smurfy.

How does that work?!?

Yep. There is No Such Thing as “normal”.

Ah, the good old days. We were blissfully ignorant back then.

It's worth a try.

And people that don't even try to recycle food packets etc.

Dead skin

Soap and shampoo residue, hair, skin flakes, dust. I have turquoise towels with a mysterious beigy stain on them that won't go away. We just use them for drying our hands. It's the same colour as the soap build up in the drain.

Same principle as, why do you have to wash a high efficiency washing machine?

Dead skin cells ... lots of them, all rubbing off
