“What’s An Unwritten Rule In Your Household That Would Seem Bizarre To Outsiders?” (50 Answers)

Why are people “weirded out” by this? It’s one of the most sensible rules I’ve heard.

This is a great rule. Can we codify it, put it I to law, and then tell my wife?

Not that anyone really cares, but when I was younger I LOVED cleaning. And every single time, I would get told I was doing it wrong. "You're doing it wrong, no, that's not how you circle the dust rag, clockwise, ugh, just give it to me, it's easier for me to just do it myself." Now, I have severe paranoia about cleaning. I won't do ANY cleaning if I think people can see me do it because I'm so afraid to be told I'm doing it wrong. So, this rule, I love and wish I had had.

It depends. When my brother tells me he's gonna clean the kitchen I have to intervene, cause I know he's just going to use laundry detergent instead of any other product, because of reasons I can't get, so instead of cleaning for 30 minutes he cleans for 3 hours and wastes buckets and buckets of water.

Amen

How is this unhinged? Of course you replace the bin liner, any adult person does. You also hang up a new toilet roll if the last one is empty, you refill soap dispensers, salt shakers... you get my drift.

How is that weird?

Some people find this strange??

This makes me crazy! My mom will stack trash on the counter or in the sink until she gets around to putting the bag in. I keep trying to tell her it would be easier to just put the bag in, but that hasn't stopped her.

Yes, THIS!

This law is universal.

Note to self: never ask where the hammer is.

And my husband will say “But I looked in there!”

Sure thing.....now where did you put the axe?

I already like most of these, I'm going to start writing them down.

That is what I tell my kids every time: If I go and find it I will hit you over the head with it. Surprising how often said thing will then suddenly materialize. It's like magic 🤷‍♀️

Why are there so many D’s in Edward Woodward’s name? Because if there weren’t, he’d be Ewar Woowar.

My dad and I loved to swap dumb jokes and to this day when I hear a particularly good one, I go to pick up the phone and call him even though he has been gone over 10 years... and I never visit his grave without telling him at least one.

A man walks into a bar. Ow.

What has four wheels a flies? A garbage truck.

What do you call an elephant mixed with a rhino? Elephino!

Just cross your fingers that you aren't accidentally swearing at them. I often have that worry.

Noooo. We have a Bengal and the "conversation" can go on for ever!!

Also you should offer snacks or pats.

I like this rule.

I meow at cats and bark at dogs.

I got a pair of tongs with silicone covered tips so as not to damage the non-stick pans and they are just not the same, they just don't have the same click.

Gotta make sure them tongs be tongin'.

I always employ the foolproof double-tap.

It's kind of the same as trying on gloves...you have to make sure they give the finger properly.

Very good! Don't take each other for granted!

Same. Everyone does chores including cooking.
