If you're still unsure (or need reminding) that the concept of normal is relative, there's one online thread that should, once and for all, convince you.

It began when Reddit user SackOfPotatoSacks made a post on the platform, asking everyone to share what's considered routine where they live but would probably be seen as something crazy everywhere else.

Immediately, people started describing the peculiarities of their local area that they've grown accustomed to, proving that culture seeps deeper into us than we often realize.

30 Peculiar Things That Seem Normal In Some Countries But Not In The Rest Of The World My city is EXTREMELY bilingual, everyone speaks both English and French. You’ll hear people speak both languages in conversations quite often, sometimes in the same sentence. In stores, most of the time, people greet you with both languages and you reply in one of them, which tells them which language you prefer to talk in. They go "Bonjour, Hi!" And you say Bonjour back if you want to continue in French or Hi if you rather speak English. It’s kinda crazy. I’m from Montréal, Canada.

    Um, Americans have been doing this since Ireland was a British colony. Not only do most sandwich shops offer it, it is well documented in NY Deli's back in the 1920's, and writings about this in the late 1800s. I dont know of any American who would be surprised at this, given how common it is in the US. I think someone pranked you into thinking they are American.

    I know kids in the US were doing this in 1970, I was one of the many, still do at times. If course this is one of the larger countries, so there could be some pockets that haven't been doing it since around the creation of the potato chip/crisp. Now the banana sandwich is a southern thing, sounds totally strange, but it's actually tasty and is rumored to have been a favorite treat by Elvis.

    West coast USA boy here. (well, used to be a boy in some previous aeon) I did this in grade school / HS in the 60s and 70s. Thought I figured it out on my own. or at least a local thing I maybe picked up from a school mate. I never thought of it as "Eat like the Dublin folks" (had never even heard they did it. I thought of it as, "My mom is too poor to afford lettuce and this single slice of baloney is super boring without something added." Hence the baloney potato chip sandwich was born. Have also done Velveta and potato chip but honestly that one is kind of 'meh'. Besides, Velveta already has a ton of salt. TLDR: THOUGHT I WAS A POOR KID BUT TIL I WAS EMBRACING THE WAYS OF OTHER CULTURES

And I know some people that do not do this. Like I said, probably the only weird one that doesn't 🤷🏻. I'll mix my Doritos with chili, but that's as far as mixing my food as it goes.

    Where I used to live in Manitoba, nobody had fences, mainly because when the properties were divided up, the town planners left space that belonged to the town behind all of them, that was just a strip of forest and Canadian shield. So almost nobody put up fences because it cut off their view & access to what was essentially a super cool nature trail network throughout the town. Everyone knew once you hit mowed grass, that belonged to someone. Us kids barely ever went anywhere on foot via roads or sidewalks, we always took the trails (we rode bikes on the roads though, there were too many rocks on the trails for a regular kid's bike) Of course, living in a forest had some unintended consequences. We frequently had bears, so I remember when I wasn't even 5 yet being taught what to do if I saw a bear. And two separate years we had a mountain lion, which was a lot worse. The town would hire someone to trap and relocate these animals but it always took a while. I remember watching a bear lying down under the crabapple tree in our front yard just eating all the windfall apples for ages, not a care in the world.

    Having your birthday party look like this: Your livingroom is transformed so that there's a great circle of chairs with a coffeetable in the center. If it's an afternoon party, guests will visit between 14:00 and 17:00 or 18:00 - 21:00, but not both! there's 1 timeslot for friends and 1 for family). As a guest, you arrive, you congratulate the birthday boy or girl, hand over your present. Then you introduce yourself to the group if you don't know them yet. Then, you go over the circle and shake everyone's hand and ALSO congratulate them with so-and-so's birthday. After making your way through the circle, you take your empty chair and that is now your seat for the rest of the party. After everyone arrived, the birthday person will bring you a piece of cake and a beverage (usually coffee or tea). Everyone eats their cake and talks to the person sitting next to him/her. After everyone is done, there'll be a tour of the house and any new things will be pointed out to you. Now is your moment to ask some questions like "oh, was it expensive?" and also compliment the host on how great it is. After the tour there'll be another round of food and drinks, snacks will be laid out on the coffeetable, but you shouldn't eat much of it. This is the only food that will be brought out and everyone has to share it. After guests were there for about 3 hours they'll leave again. Everyone knows they're expected to leave but you need to come off as really wanting to stick around longer but you just couldn't because the dog needs to go for a walk or something, make up any excuse that sounds probable. Then, repeat the cycle again in the evening with the other group. The weekend after that, invite your close friends to come over and have the real party.

    This is one thing I struggle with. I am Asian, born and raised in Germany. While being little i hated having rice every day. Sometimes up to three times. Then I moved in with my ex, with whom I still live with. He has bread for breakfast and bread for dinner, almost every day. If you add two pickled cornichons and two cherry tomatoes and maybe even a soft boiled egg for dinner, it's considered a feast. I couldn't function without proper hot meals and learned to appreciate my rice now 😅

Then we go over to a big basin of the best quality of rice and take as many scoops as the number we drew. You are encourage to make each scoop heaping. This is not a food bank thing (I hope) just the promise of “good rice” draws a crowd. It was at a roadside tourist shop/complex.

    30 Peculiar Things That Seem Normal In Some Countries But Not In The Rest Of The World UAE. As a female: 1- Not having to move out of my parents’ house unless I get married. 2- Obtaining a degree is a must, but working is a complete option. Also if I choose to work, I don’t have to share my income with my spouse. 3- I get the superiority in lines so I don’t have to stand in long lines with men. Which happens rarely anyway because women don’t run errands in here.

    In the next 16 days there will be two public holidays in my city. Both of which are to recognise different sporting events. One of those sporting events is taking place 2000 odd kms away. The other is taking place in my city - though with very few attendees because of ‘Rona restrictions. Gotta love Melbourne.

    Saudi Arabia: Kids, as young as 10 years old, driving. The police don't really care much, and you see primary schoolers driving themselves and their siblings to school. Nope, most of them aren't orphans, their parents are just.... extremely free here. Traffic accidents are the leading cause of death here unsurprisingly. I think it's a real shame that people are so careless.
