I believe we all can agree that people are strange creatures. We do loads of random stuff without really thinking about it. Our society is built in such a way that we tend to normalize things or expect someone to act according to a typical pattern. However, when you really think about it, some patterns appear to be pretty odd and bizarre.

So, I got curious about what behavior our pandas think is considered to be normal but is actually weird. I was surprised to receive so many insightful answers! Scroll down to read them and don't forget to share your opinion with us!

This ons needs to be higher. Remember a while back in Milan the bankers went on strike and there was a panic but nothing terrible happened? And then the garbage cleaners/collectors went on strike and the city was a filthy mess. Essential workers need better wages because they are the people that make the world a better place.

    "It's Actually Very Odd When You Think About It": 50 Things That Are Considered Normal But Are Weird As Shared By Our Community It should not be normal to pierce a baby's ears. I know that earrings can look really cute, but that is not good enough a reason to penetrate healthy skin of someone to young to agree to it.

    If a child actively asks to get their ears pierced, it is if course totally ok. But no baby ever asked for this. They don't talk. They're babies.

    I grew up that way and always thought I had no choice. Far forward to age 13 where I was a junior bride's maid and at the end of the after-party, a man, about 80 years old, asked me for a kiss as we were leaving. The dirty b*stard stuck his tongue down my throat and made an mmm sound. Now, a 51, ANY time a man kisses me and makes that sound, I want to vomit.

    Totally this. Had to go to a dinner party thing recently hosted by a couple I’d never met. They asked my partner what alcohol they should buy for us, and he told them I don’t drink alcohol so not to worry. Their reply? “She will be doing tomorrow”. They have no idea why I don’t drink, and I think it was a real out of order answer. Of course they then tried to get me to drink all evening.

    Expecting women to cover up or leave the room to breastfeed a baby. If the woman is more comfortable that way then fine, but treating feeding a baby as something dirty is really strange and unhelpful. People who want women to cover up to nurse a baby should try eating a meal with a blanket over their head!

    How 40 seems to be the cut off point for desirability in workers. Being over 40 is like a death march in life. Experience means nothing. Over 50 and people might as well just retire because people act like you are 100 years old.

    So true! When I was in my 40s, I couldn't get a job to save my life. However, we recently moved to Washington, and I got 3 job offers after 2 months of job hunting. In the state government application system they ask if you are over 40, and it weighs your application in your favor. I presume it is in response to the discrimination you described. I had two public and one private job offers, so I guess the culture here is different? I've lived in other states where my age was definitely used against me, so Washington has been a tremendous relief!

I’m not necessarily complaining because I like to get together with friends and have a good time but I don’t remember my parents’ generation having this many ‘celebrations’ to go to. For only ONE young couple we know, we have attended the engagement party, bachelor/bachelorette party, the bridal shower, the wedding, 3 housewarmings, and soon to be 4 baby showers. They have been married for 6 years. I believe next year will mark their eldest child’s kindergarten graduation.

    The fact that so many jobs exist where you work full time and do not get paid enough to support yourself independently. And you are then told you have to go tens of thousands of dollars into debt to get a job with a living wage.

And then everyone just says "Fine." In the first place, it seems like noone really wants to know how you actually are. And in the second place, noone says how they actually are.

    I greeted a server with "how are you" the other day. She responded with a shrug and a "meh." I said, "You know what? I appreciate your honesty. It's 2021; none of us is "fine." She laughed. Be less afraid to disrupt the status quo. Be human instead.

    Not acknowledging men’s mental health issues except to put down women’s. Like, they’re both huge problems that deserve to be individually seen and taken care of, but neither is a weapon to use against the other, or anything.

    I agree. I always monitor how much I drink because I don't want to be in a state where I can't look after myself. It's rude to expect others to get you home and make sure you're safe and I think it's shameful to get yourself into those situations when going out with friends.

    It's like this IRL as well. I have seen women slap men in pubs or other public places during an argument and storm out and nobody would bat an eyelid. Some of them would say "He probably deserved it". But if a man did this all hell would break loose and the police would be called.

    Tipping! Pay servers a living wage already so they don't feel like they have to perform to make a living. Their job is to take your order, bring your food and answer questions about the menu, not to be your friend. Also every counter has a tip jar now. Don't make me feel guilty for not tipping when I know your wage does not depend on it. Rarely does tipping in general make sense, pay people a living wage and include it in the price of a service.

    Yeah, but management’s idea of a better wage still won’t be enough. Hell, Amazon spent god knows how much on commercials where they pat themselves on the backs for offering a measly 15 f*****g bucks per hour, which is far from enough to live on. They should’ve used that money to pay their employees, instead of stroking their own egos. And blasting off in their d**k rockets.

    The stigma associated with having incontinence and having to use some form of protection for “leaks” be it catheters and bags or absorbent underwear (of any type) I was in an RTC that caused damage to some of the nerves in my spine and now have days where I can not control my bladder at all, for these days I choose to use what is colloquially called fitted briefs (adult size nappies/diapers) as they are more comfortable and easier to change that the catheter and bags. There should not be any shame in having to use bladder protection nor should people be made to feel like they are peculiar for wearing absorbent underwear of any type.

    I'm with you on this one. I heard it's origins have to do with the belief that at the moment of sneeze a demon could swoop in and possess you, so saying a blessing helps prevent that. Now you have to say it; and if you don't people get offended for some reason. I was roommates with a woman from Berlin and she said to say gesundheit, explaining it meant, roughly, 'don't die from the plague'. She was probably joking.

    Nice people who are generally polite and decent creating an anonymous identity so they can be rude and hostile.

    I also don't understand the ride-or-die mentality some people have for social media. Everyone I really love (as in, I would donate a kidney to this person), I can call directly, and I know their name and where they live. And we don't send each other manipulated photos and stuff, because why bother? We know what we look like.

    Like the rest of us really care, and apparently have all the time in the world to waste on you. The time it would take for me to look at the pictures or video from your dinner out would be better spent on my own life. Outside of the inner core of people who truly care about you, you are not as important as you think you are.

    That people happily and willingly pay several thousand more for clothes, bags and shoes just so they can go around and do commercial for a company like Nike or Gucci. So you are telling me that you have paid 1000 dollars for a pair of shoes, so you can go around advertising for Nike and they dont even pay you for that? A thing they normally pay several 1000 dollars to get, you not only do for absolutly free, but they also made you believe you were cool and smart when doing it? And you think it is a great idea? Ok.

    pressuring gender roles.
    but also: pressuring gender identity.

    not everyone who likes nail polish is a girl and not everyone who likes sports is a guy.

    All it takes is just one brave soul to step up and tell them to “just shut the f**k up, you’re just showing everyone how ignorant you are”—-in just the right tone of voice—-and they’ll dummy up and skulk off into the corner. Sounds mean, but sometimes an asshole like this just need to finally get their long overdue comeuppance.

    The incredible obsession with pushing an alternative gender identity/sexuality.

    By all means you do you boo but it's so much in my face anymore and everyone gets super offended when addressed incorrectly.

    Ok scenario: I'm in a Starbucks about to pick up my drink and me being my polite self says to the seemingly female barista by the name of star "thank you ma'am" (I regrettably live in the bible belt of the US) and she snaps at me "actually it's sir."

    Bitch I don't know you and you look like a girl I'm going to address you as such. Don't get pissy with me.

    "snaps" or politely corrects? And I agree with cookie panda, avoid gender specific terms if you don't like being corrected. I got news for you, your ego and need to not ever be seen as incorrect doesn't trump anyone else's right to autonomy about how they want to be addressed.

    Working for a living. I had an interesting career, as a researcher and academic. I liked my students, staff and colleagues. Since retiring I've realized how oppressive it all was.

    After years of emotional abuse I can say for certain that 'you made me do this' applies because I was brainwashed into believing it was the right thing to do. Yes I did the things myself, but looking back it wasn't my choice.

    Honestly though. Like my mom isn't a Karen by any means, but she will complain when it's needed, like one time when I was eleven, a group of staff were talking at the counter, and they would loudly using vulgar words, at a family restaurant. And being a mother of two kids, both under the age of 12, she got upset. The staff didn't listen and just continued talking like before, after twenty minuets the manager was called. The manager heard what happened and suggested to pay for the meal. And almost all the staff was calling her a Karen!

    There are some foods (meat with bones, iceberg lettuce) that would be much easier to eat with our hands, but “good manners” require us to use utensils for. To me, it would make much more sense to drink soup out of a bowl than to spoon it to my lips from a bowl sitting on a table!

    Gossiping, fake behavior. What is the point of talking sh*t about people behind their backs? How is this absolutely normal EVERYWHERE? If you don't have proof of something happening, why spread it further? And if you are having a problem with someone, why'd you tell everyone but them? It ruins workplaces, it ruins all teams, relationships... I swear most people are just overgrown toddlers terrified of communication/direct confrontation...

    I used to eat meat, and I liked the taste. Occasionally I want to enjoy the taste of meat, but without anything dying for my meal. I'm aware that these things have no nutritonal value so I don't do it very often, but why shouldn't I once in a while.

    Running as a sport. It's weird, no one is chasing you! Sometimes I wonder what the other animals must think of us, like a deer : "why is he running? Is there a danger?" or a wolf "Is he hunting?". No we just like to run around in ridiculous outfits and expensive shoes for no reason at all.

    On the flip side, expecting someone to know everything about you, therefore being able to “just know” what you want every second. I am not psychic, so just f*****g tell me what you want/need/prefer, so I don’t have to mentally exhaust myself having to guess, and emotionally don’t have to hear you tell me I guessed wrong (which I suspect you would do, regardless of what I guessed you wanted). Because that’s just f*****g cruel, asshole.

    It’s not always “pie in the sky”. It depends on the person and/or the circumstances. Sometimes everything actually will be alright. You’ll get out of the present bad situation, and things can only look up from there. Other times, not so much. But, as long as there’s a chance, you can’t just doom yourself to failure without even trying to make things better.

    I disagree with this one. Asking 'are you ok?' is an entry level conversation starter with someone who appears to be struggling. It's the most caring question a person can ask, particularly to a stranger. Maybe they'll be able to help, maybe they can call someone who can help. By asking the question, they are just showing that they care and want to help. What are the alternatives? Just ignoring you as you struggle.
