Common sense. Less common than you’d think.

People taking their kids to places not meant for kids like late night R-rated movies, bars, expensive restaurants that don't even have a kid's menu (which should be a huge hint), and breweries....then get all offended when people do adult-things like swear or light up a cigarette (in places that allow it in designated areas). IDGAF if babysitters are too expensive, that's no excuse to mess up everybody else's good time because you're an inconsiderate cheapskate.

Using idioms in day to day conversations. I was taught some idioms that have fallen out of common usage in school so people look at me weirdly whenever I use one of them

Everyone in school, teachers, my parents, siblings, etc. knows that I am not comfortable with talking. If I meet any adult or kid I’m uncomfortable around, you will think I’m mute. And you know what people tell me? They tell me I’m weird, they say things behind my back, my teachers call on me 10x more than anyone else in my class. I just don’t like talking and everyone thinks it’s not normal :(

Seeing stars and getting a little dizzy when you bend down to pick something up or work in the Garden. Or get up too fast from kneeling. Not everybody gets this feelings. It's because of low blood pressure 🤷‍♀️ It was crazy for me finding out not everybody needs to lean on a wall after getting up in the morning 😅

"Everyone for themselves" has been normalised to the point where we think we are weak when we need help.

It really does take a village to help and support one another and we won't even call friends because we don't want to be a burden on them.

You're not weak, ask for help, then you help someone else when they need it. Let's get back to that kind of society.

Growing up everyone (kids) would banter all the time. My friends and I can still banter. This isn't normal to the younger generation or elderly generation. The younger ones get overly offended by everything. Like everything. I don't even cross lines with bantering. Like nothing that offends race, religion or gender. The elder generation can just get irritated. Some elderly will laugh and call you a smart a*s or banter back. So, they aren't that bad. If you grew up in the 80's and 90's you know the bantering I'm talking about.

Spending more time at work/school or commuting to it than at home. Making someone else rich though your work at the cost of your health, personal life and leisure time, in the hope that if you do it long and hard enough, you will recognition, social validation and leisure time at last.
It is a sad reality for many people.

Wow I can think of so many things. Cutlery and table layouts. So strange that this is "normalised". Most of the world eats with chopsticks (far east) or bare hands (india and africa). Fussing about peoples' gender or sex, or worse, their sexual preferences. I mean, who cares? Just mind your own business and let them be who they want to be, they are not hurting you nor trying to change your life? Jokes that make fun of different groups. I mean- you're basically sexist or racist if you think these are funny? I realise we have had the thing of laughing at "foreigners" with "funny ways" for a long time - like millenia - but it's not actually nice. How about just see what they do and think "hey that's interesting"? I can go on longer but I'll stop there.

Asking, when you really are telling. "Can you do the TPS reports?"
"Can you please clean up your room?"
"Can I see your license and registration?"

Any question where the answer can't be no shouldn't be a question. Normal adults can usually tell when an ask is really a command but for some, like neurodivergent adults and children, It's really confusing.

The grammar changes I have observed over the last few decades, originating in the American dialects (strong influence of American film and TV, I suspect). Strong verbs have become weak ones. Two examples: "weaved" instead of "wove", "slayed" instead of "slew".

Also, the frequent substitution of the past participle of verbs for the simple past form. "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" for example - should be "shrank". "The ship sank" not "sunk".

Puts my teeth on edge but like climate change, the tipping point is already past. (Not "passed", lol)

Using the word "myself" in a standalone way. It us ONLY to be used in conjunction with I or me. The world myself is used exactly the same way as himself, herself, themselves. If one of these words sounds stupid in a sentence when replacing myself, then myself IS WRONG and sounds EQUALLY STUPID to someone who knows proper grammar. Myself seems to be used to replace I or Me in order to sound smarter, but it is WRONG and improper. And it drives me ABSOLUTELY NUTS...... P.S. I used to be bugged out most by improper use of apostrophes, until I realized that this is worse
