32 Things People Were Sure Were Normal Until Someone Said ‘Wait, What?’
According to legend, American athlete Robert Garrett didn't know how heavy the discus would be for the first Olympic Games in 1896, so he trained with a way heavier one, achieving less than mediocre results. Imagine Garrett's surprise when, upon arriving at the Olympics, he realized the real Olympic discus was several times lighter!
Does it need to be said that Garrett became an Olympic champion that day? Probably not. But what's worth mentioning is that many of us live for years with unique body or behavioral features, not even realizing that these traits aren't actually common. So, please welcome to this collection of stories, made for you by Bored Panda!

I was told I was "being a baby" because I would literally gag when I tasted raw tomato - even a little bit. Being in a toxic family, I was convinced this was the case until I actually (accidentally) ate it as an adult.

As a kid, I thought everyone at Easter broke the eggs over each other's heads to spread good luck and confetti everywhere. At 14, I was horrified to learn my friends' families were eating the eggs they painted and hid for hours.
Turned out, we're just Mexican. Who knew.
Huddo's sister 17 hours ago
I grew up in an area with a lot of Greek families and I think they broke eggs on each other's heads too. My family has very few traditions (I honestly feel like we don't have a 'culture') so we didn't even paint/dye eggs (I think we tried it once) and only had an egg hunt a few times. The only thing we did for Easter was have my grandparents and sometimes other family over for lunch after church, but we did that many Sundays anyway.

I thought it was normal to always put my feet up (in cars, trains, planes, at home on the couch or in the office.) turns out I was just avoiding discomfort from my legs not touching the ground when I sit because im short!!
Turns out taller people can sit without putting their feet up and they're actually comfortable!! 😭.
Mel in Georgia 1 day ago
This is a very uncomfortable situation for me and it seems like everything you sit on nowadays is designed for giants - airline seats, car seats, furniture ... headrests push my head forward, long seats keep my back from touching the back of seats and seat height keeps me from touching the floor. Need cushions for everything!
JB 1 day ago (edited)
Decided to search for “what height is the world designed for?” The AI results start with “Standard Western Design: Most everyday items (kitchen counters, car seats, clothing) are built for people between 5'2" (157cm) and 6'2" (188cm), as this covers a large portion of the population, with specific points like door handles often set for taller individuals (around 6 ft/183cm) for convenience.” Simple logic says that’s utter bōllox. The world is actually built for people averaging around 5’9”, which is deemed not too uncomfortable for the min to max ends of the range. Totally relate to where you are coming from, I’m 5’1”. But I think my good friend has it worse: he’s 6’8” in bare feet.

Same here. Either I put my feet flat on the floor in the bus and my thighs are at a slope (making bags and books slide down, so I have to hold them up), or I put my knees against the seat in front of me - a 55 year old sitting like a 15 year old. Thing is, I'm not THAT small, I'm 1,65m,not far from the average.

My grandma and mum both had footstools their husbands made for them to use when sitting in the church pews because their feet hurt not touching the ground while sitting for a service. I'm also short, but don't find this a problem, especially in church because I usually wear high heels then anyway.
Many of the stories told here are connected to people who had long-standing family traditions that they later, even as adults, actually took for granted. Only later, faced, for example, with others' surprise at this tradition, did they realize that this wasn't actually the case.
Ultimately, there's no universal, unified view of what's right and what's wrong. So, if, for example, entire generations in your family have done something unconventionally, that doesn't mean they all did it wrong. It just means you did it the way that's not generally accepted, and nothing more.

I can taste the composition/ingredients used in foods, as in which herbs and spices were used specifically to create a sauce or dip. So I can very easily reverse-engineer everything I taste. Also tasting feels like a picture or chart to me, where I can easily identify the "postion" or "colour" of the singular tastes and tell where "gaps" are than require to be filled to enhance the composition of a dish.
I always considered this to be normal or that people could at least make this connection if they learn about it?

Looking at bright light makes me sneeze, and because both my mother and grandmother are like that I always thought that's just something everybody does. I think I was around 15-16 when I learned that it's actually a genetic disposition that can be inherited from a parent, called Photic sneeze reflex (ACHOO syndrome).

As a kid I thought everyone tasted blood when they ran and that legs falling asleep anytime you sat cross legged was normal. Turns out I had a massive hole between the upper two chambers of my heart. Wasn’t found until I was 18.
Huddo's sister 16 hours ago
Wow, that's scary! My feet always get pins and needles or fall asleep when I sit cross-legged for more than 5 minutes, so I am constantly shifting position, but no one has found a reason yet. My doctor thought it might be the start of rheumatoid arthritis, but I've had it since I was a kid and my rheumatoid factor and ultrasound were clear.
For example, here's a story from personal experience. A friend of mine once told me that in her family, they always cooked sausages by cutting off both ends. Her mom and grandma did the same, as did everyone else in their extended family. She did the same thing herself, and only after moving in with her boyfriend, did her future husband wonder why she did it.
Neither of them could find any logical or, for example, religious reasons for doing so, and my friend discovered that no one else outside their family did it. The couple turned out to be inquisitive folks, so they conducted a thorough historical investigation until they traced her great-grandma, who was still alive at the time.
And so it turned out that the old lady, in her youth, just had one very small saucepan that couldn't fit regular-sized sausages, so she always had to cut off the ends. And then, over time, this simply became a habit, which grew into a family tradition over many decades.

Being honest. I wasn't taught to be honest - I just am. I don't think I'm on the spectrum or neurodivergent? I just assume that if someone is asking me a question then they expect the truth? Apparently, it's "impolite" and I'm supposed to say the opposite of what something is.
For instance - if someone screws up and they ask "did I mess up?", I'm supposed to say "youre fine. you're doing great"?

My grandma had this problem as she got older and now my mum has it. I remember my grandma's doctor telling her to stretch and flex her feet if she needed to go but was in a car or something and couldn't get to the toilet immediately, as it distracts the brain a bit.
With unique or simply rare body features, things are fairly simple - people still understand, one way or another, that they have something unusual. As for mental traits, things are much more interesting. How many people have lived their entire lives with the absolute conviction that they're doing everything the only right way?
However, literally everything in our lives can be questioned - it depends on the angle from which we view a given phenomenon. For example, the author of this dedicated post, the teacher Adam Mastroianni, offers this thought experiment regarding career choices for students.
Do you want to be a surgeon? = Do you want to perform the same procedure 15 times a week for the next 35 years? Do you want to be an actor? = Do you want your career to depend on having the right cheekbones? Do you want to be a wedding photographer? = Do you want to spend every Saturday night as the only sober person in a hotel ballroom?
Almost no one will answer "Yes" to the second of these pairs of questions, yet there are countless surgeons, actors, and wedding photographers around the world who proudly pursue their passions and have never questioned the wisdom of their choices. In other words, any oddity depends on the angle from which we look at it.

Being in physical pain when i heard certain sounds.
Rick Murray 1 day ago (edited)
Depends upon the sound. I once had the misfortune of being dragged to a nightclub in Camberley in the late '90s and I swear I could *feel* the sound blasting right through me. Two minutes of that and I felt physically ill and I was either going to p.oop or scream, or both. [note: I'm an introvert, I like quiet] I noped out of there so fast the people that invited me weren't able to keep up.

I refused to wear the rain jacket (spray jacket? IDK we just called it the brand name KEA) that was part of my highschool uniform because I couldn't stand the sound as it rubbed together.

Many of mine are connected. Like, I'm in a place and it goes to another place and I'm like "oh, I've been here before" or "so this is how these places are connected". It's like exploring a new town. I don't have much ability to control what happens in dreams (and, note, I am rarely *me*) but my brain will wake me up if it thinks the plot is dumb or wants to pass judgement like "really? second law of thermodynamics means *nothing* to you?". 🤷

Mel in Georgia 1 day ago
Huh, never knew this was a thing! Cheek sweating when eating cheese, called gustatory sweating, happens because cheese triggers nerves, releasing volatile compounds that activate sweat glands, often due to genetic factors or minor nerve miswiring, though it can sometimes signal underlying issues like diabetic nerve damage (autonomic neuropathy) or inflammation, so see a doctor if it's excessive or new.

My restless leg syndrome (thanks fibromyalgia!) has gotten worse since I've been pregnant. It usually starts around 7-8pm and I used to be able to stop it by having a cup of soluble magnesium when it started and lying on my stomach while on the couch. Now it's 2 cups of magnesium and 2 of tonic water (at least) and stretching my legs with exercises. I did find starting on the drinks earlier, before pain starts, helps.
