People Are Revealing The Bizarre Things They Do That Seem Normal In Their Country, But Not In The Rest Of The World (17 Pics)

"It's better than a bumblebee in the teeth." "Well, most things are."

We do it in Sweden as well. And the reason (I have been told) is that "fresh air" is good for the baby, specially in the winter-times. It will keep them more likely to stay healthy and not easily get sick. I wasn't overjoyed to do it with my daughter the first time, but she actually was sleeping better! And it's not like parents leave their children outside anyway or wherever, or in the coldest days. Of course. 😅

Well, unless you live near Chicago, (where I'm from). We have had 2 reports of children being in cars that were stolen in just the past week. Do you still think it's harmless? Is even one child being taken okay? Stop being lazy. Get your damn kids out of the damn car seats and bring them with you. And don't come at me - I had twins. I got them both out of their car seats and brought them with me all the time.

I hate that I'm paranoid to even leave my 8 and 5yos alone in the car for quick trips in a store. Even with it running (in "preheat" mode, no keys). I'm more afraid of my kids being taken by CPS then kidnapping.

It is illegal to leave kids in the car where I live but not due to the risk of the kids being kidnapped. It is due to the risk of kids dying in a hot car.

like the guy who stole a car and came back to give the mother s**t? or the other dozen times its happened

I so disagree with this. Errands always take longer than we intend them too. When we are separated from our child we aren't aware of what they are experiencing in their environment. It starts raining or hailing and our child is scared. Our child wakes up disoriented and confused and we're not their to comfort them. Some Cold fronts can sets in quickly, or we go to the store in the morning once that sun rises it can be a 20 degree temperature rise. Sometimes crazy unpredictable things happen an earthquake, I was at the store once where a lady fainted and the paramedics were called. Can you imagine if she had a baby in the car and no one knew.

How horribly dangerous, irresponsible, and disrespectful. Where I live, it is ILLEGAL to leave the DOG in the car. People FORGET their children and pets, and they die in the vehicle. You don't get the news where YOU live? Some people even do it on purpose. "Leaving them in the car" is NOT HARMLESS.

I don't know why you've been downvoted. You're right. Even in the US (which admittely is much less safe than Norway) child abductions are pretty rare.

@Louloubelle... NOTHING it harmless. But if you read my comment, you will see that walking across a parking lot with your kid is dangerous too... going into the store is dangerous... all sorts of things are dangerous. -- I don't have to worry about car jackings where I'm from so I didn't add that into my statistics. So if you add "abductions" plus "car thefts" and compare that to getting hit by a car crossing the parking lot, then maybe the statistics do slide into your favor. But, the number 1 cause of death for kids is car crashes, so maybe you shouldn't have your kid in the car in the first place.

And a non-custodial parent has never been known to follow or stalk? And would never dream of grabbing a kid left outside unattended?

Yes, they sleep soo well - and it's considered to be healthy. Also a lot of babies fall a sleep more easily when taken a stroll, when they sleep you just return to you house and park it. And it's also very practically, you can go to a cafe during nap time and have your baby sleeping outside, or you can do loud housework while they sleep outside. Another benefit is they feel so safe in their stroller, so when you are visiting friends or family, you do not have get them to sleep somewhere unfamiliar.

Well you cannot take a stranger's baby on a plane (you need to have passport for them). So you would have to be driving and our nearest countries are Norway, Sweden and Germany - not really known for being occupied by a lot of creeps :-)

Me neither! I always feel like I'm about to suffocate. My grandad was so disappointed with me.

They say that people with heart issues usually don't like saunas. I had a few relatives that would never use the sauna and it was found out later they had heart issues.

I don’t like Saunas either, but it’s mainly because I hate the feeling of sweat

I like the dry ones, not the steamy ones. I suffocate in those.

That's interesting but maybe it's because I haven't been in one yet so it's mostly curiosity lol

and Hungary

Haha

There are different food preferences everywhere, so it really depends on location and what your parents or people around you in public places ate

Carps are used to live in the pond waters not in a f*cking bath tub. Clean chlorinated water doesnt mean they are happy.

Ok volunteer for their meal then.

Why catch them in the first place??. Anyway, why can't you throw them back in??

The reason Father Ted got axed, sadly was because the actor playing him died of a heart attack. The day after they finished filming the last episode.

They don't do it in the US. Why you gotta call people's stuff stupid ? Does nobody offer you food?
