This should be higher up in the list AND it can be extended to every belief in general about 'we' are better then 'them' because of religion/ money/ education/ the place where you live/ the colour of your socks/ etc.etc.

Huzzah, huzzah! The only thing more ridiculous than cancelling someone for a trivial offense committed years ago, is someone digging through ten years of someone else's social media in search of something to use against them.

Not widely considered normal. Considered creepy, disturbing, and exploitative among sane people.

Lot of time, the pressure to go to work come from the management side.

Being rude to anyone.

There is a special place in hell for these folks

It’s extremely sad and toxic

It should be illegal. The last thing I want is for someone to take a photo of me and end up becoming a meme or something.

Hardwork doesn't always lead to success. A lot of people that became successful through "hard work" don't usually include one thing in their success stories: the role of luck. Some of them were lucky to be born in the right place, to the right people, at the right time, happened to go to the right school, happened to make the right friends, etc. For every success story, there are thousands and millions that did the same amount of hardwork and got nowhere. The difference is, those hardworking but unsuccessful people were simply unlucky. No one knows a sure formula for success in life. It's easy to think you do when you've made it.

Including bored panda.

To me it's more using religion as an excuse (to discriminate, to question science, to explain away EVERYTHING...)

I'm going to get downvotes here, but you need to swap out Bill for Richard. Yes, Mr Gates has done some deplorable things while gaining his millions. But he has done philanthropic things that the others haven't even considered. Demonstrably tried to improve things for the rest of humanity. The others? No bathroom breaks and trains that barely run at all never mind on time. Oh, and I'm damn sure it wasn't his age that stopped him taking part in the Prick Space Race, so that's a point in his favour too. Dislike or full on loathe him all you want, but he is no longer in the same league of greed and evil as the others. (Mr Zuckerberg is in a league of his own, although he does look like he wants to be Bezos when he grows up, so...)

Sheldon was actually very true to life for a lot of smart autistic people..but he would be what we would be without adapting skills. And most of us have adapted to our environment.. But he feels rather authentic. He isn't rude or condescending - he just doesn't understand most humans. That's why he follows the rules.. hot beverages for upset humans etc.

Throwing cirarette butts WHILE protesting for for climate-change.

Best time saver, ever... (Oh, why do I put a comment here? I should not care) /s

If it's too extreme, it's often a sign of a sadistic personality, so more reason to work on that early

Finally someone who adresses this! This double standard bothers me fir a long time. Also, some women who try to be "feminists" still keep this in check. If you want equal rights for men and women, that includes the downsides too

And massively overlooked or flat out ignored on social media. Ad in the workforce. It not just something kids do on the playground.

Instamom is the stuff if nightmares. Like the recent one where she jams on the brakes to teach her kid to buckle up. Full blown narcissism in action

The world is not your enabler.

Like the jokes about men being “chained” when they decide to marry. Then don’t f*****g marry. If I was the girlfriend In would be furious

I'm guessing this is more a US issue from what I have read, most of us just don't work when on leave.

We call that being "spoiled and entitled" around here.

I've been married for just over a decade and would be absolutely terrified of being back in the dating game. I wouldn't know where to start.

While I agree that there is such a thing as unhealthy weight, you still won't see me attacking the "body positivity movement". Because for people to change for the better, the first step has to be letting go of the self-hatred and shame that plagues the seriously overweight and drives them into a self-destructive spiral of self-harming and self-comforting behavior. If the body positivity movement helps anyone let go of the guilt and self-hatred that's poisoned their lives then more good than harm has been done, and it's not like body negativity ever did anyone any good. You can't shame people into being thinner or healthier, that's not how humans work.

Dogs having unsocial and aggressive owners.

Ridiculous demands from the same companies that cry over the lack of qualified employees

I'm always depressed by the "my ring has got to be the biggest" stories.

Forty years ago, I asked my (then) boyfriend for an engagement dog instead of an engagement ring. We've adopted five rescue pups over the years. Never once wished I had the ring instead.

I have no problem with people liking pretty jewelry. But I do have a problem with the idea that an engagement ring should cost 3 months salary or more. I think that's crazy. If I had a piece of jewelry that cost 3 months pay I'd be afraid to wear it for fear of it being lost or damaged. And for most young couples just starting out, wouldn't that money be better spent as a down payment on a car or a house?

When I got engaged, a coworker looked at my ring, then hers, drew a breath, and knowing what insult was about to crawl out from her lips, I cut her off with a squealed, "I know - he chose perfectly - it's perfect for my tiny hand! Anything bigger would just look wrong on me." And honest to gods, it would. I tried other rings just for fun and ugh! no.

Also, the market value of diamonds is inflated because the industry deliberately restricts the supply.

My engagement ring sits tucked away in a safe because I almost lost the diamond once and it was heartbreaking. Instead I use a fake one I got on Amazon that is way prettier. Wish my spouse hadn’t had to work extra just to save up for that diamond that never sees the day of light now.

Also.. how is a ring with a big stone practical.. you catch it on everything.. can't sleep with it..

We shouldn't mind if people spend their money on diamonds and expensive stones. It's when they start using them to put down or hurt other people is when it becomes wrong and when we should start minding.

Its not about the price. Its about the emotional value for me. With any gift

De Beers manufactured the whole "diamond is forever" business, and came up with the formula that the ring should cost two months salary, now I think it's edged up to three months salary. That means if you make $60k a year, you're supposed to spend $10k to $12.5 on a ring. What a ridiculous thing to spend that kind of money on! I would rather give that money to a good cause, and wear a cheap (or no) ring.

The Pandora jewelry shops have decided to only use artificially created diamonds from now on. There is hope.

2 words: Swarovski diamonds.

Everything around the price and necessity of diamonds was invented by a jewelry company in the early 20th century.

Especially diamonds....De Beers still has enough control over the sale of diamonds that the cost can be kept artificially high, i.e.. obscenely expensive. If diamonds flowed to the market in the same way, say, garnets did, they'd be worth about what garnets are. Diamonds are not rare at all, especially since the Russians and Canadians are now mining them.

We need to lose the idea of marriage proposals. It should be a conversation, not a question.

The diamond market is completely fabricated. Don't buy into it. Instead, if you want a shiny rock that looks like a diamond, buy a moissanite. It's almost indistinguishable from diamonds except by a gemologist, its nearly as hard, it's much rarer, and its far cheaper.

I never wanted a diamond ring. 1. it is to expensive 2. I think it looks like glass 3. Any ring with stones in it would be too uncomfortable for me. Also I'd probably manage to lose the gems on walls, doors or whatever.

gods, a friend got a selection of gems in from the actual mines (they have a friend that works in the industry) there was a huge blue sapphire, smaller pale sapphire, medium ruby (her favourite) and a couple of small emeralds, all for less than a small diamond. And he knew they really were from ethical mines.

And a lot of people would be unemployed.
