Publish Not your original work? Add source When it comes to unwritten rules, there are plenty of grey areas between what behaviors people consider OK and not. Social norms differ between cultures; a certain act may receive sanctions or punishments within one group but be seen as normal within another. Plus, as society's understanding of norms changes over time, so too does its members' perception of deviance. In an attempt to learn if this transformation can stall, Redditor u/sadboi017 asked other users: "What is considered socially unacceptable for no reason?" 34.9K upvotes and 21.3K comments later, I think it's safe to say that it can. Continue scrolling and check out some of the most popular answers. This post may include affiliate links. #1 Not wanting to hold other people's babies...

I friggin love going on the swings, I’m 30 and it still fascinates me that I can quickly and easily get 10-15 feet (or higher) in the air with some simple leg movement.

One day I was at a fairly deserted local park on the swings having the time of my life. Suddenly Karen shows up with her two ankle biters, hands on her hips and yells at me “WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON THERE?! THE SWINGS ARE FOR THE KIDS, NOT ADULTS!”

My tax dollars paid for these swings, and there’s no sign saying that I can’t, so I’ll use them as much as I damn well please whenever I want. How much tax did little Johanathan and little Kymburleigh Pay last year? None? Guess they can’t use the swings either. chewblekka , pexels Report Final score: 459points POST Foxxy (The Original) Foxxy (The Original) Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago I too love the swings and will happily go on them when the playground isn't busy. 121 121points reply View More Replies... View more comments #4 Not answering your own door. When there's like a salesman at someone's door, they won't want to answer but they will act like no one is home, and be really quiet so the person outside the door doesn't hear them. But it's your house. I could just stare at a salesman out the window as he rings my bell, who cares. It's my house. I don't have to answer my own door, for whatever reason I deem acceptable. You came to my house, not the other way around. Waddlow , pexels Report Final score: 436points POST Alex Bailey Alex Bailey Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Have CCTV installed specifically so I could see who was at the door and avoid answering it if I didn't want to - get a lot of deliveries as I have my own business and need supplies.

People who can stand to be around other people for huge amounts of time, more power to you, but me? I can't do that, and I don't want to have to make up an excuse to do so.

In my personal life I have gotten more ridicule and very pointed questions bordering on disrespectful over being childfree than about any of my other opinions.

Once I said I wasn't having kids my family became obsessed with whether or not I was dating, and who, and oh, what if HE wants kids? What if I meet the "perfect" guy, but he wants kids? Well, then I guess he's not the perfect guy for me. Simple as that. I don't want kids, and no, I don't have to give you a detailed bullet list about why I'm not having kids because what I decide to do with my uterus is none of your business. RattusDraconis Report Final score: 408points POST InvincibleRodent InvincibleRodent Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago The only reason one should ideally need is "because I don't want any". That's my main reason, but for some reason, a lot of people just really want a lot of unwanted and unloved children in the world I guess... 89 89points reply View More Replies...

I have to put on the show at work and talk to people ALL DAY LONG and if I just want to sit in a bar or cafe or on a bench by myself and stare at my phone I shouldn't be forced to exchange small talk with someone just because they happen to be in the vicinity of me.

Like currently, I'm having a really bad day and just want to go sit and have a drink and stare at cats or something because being in my house is making it worse, but I can't, because I'll be forced to chit chat with someone near me. romperstomp Report Final score: 180points POST Cactus McCoy Cactus McCoy Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Weird idea: Say "I had a very stressful day and need some quite time alone now, please."

Sally Barry Sally Barry Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 4 months ago Once you're over the age of, say, 12, except for milestone birthdays, I don't think adults should keep making a BFD over their birfdays. Something sad about it - you need a party? You need presents and a cheap cake and pony rides and balloons? Everyone singing Happy Barfday, yaaaaaay, blow out the candles? Well, go right ahead if that's what you need. I wouldn't object to being taken out to eat or to a concert or a movie (now that the plague is subsiding somewhat). But I would hate a birthday party.

I never understood this silly notion of this personal holiday. I don't do anything special on it and it always bothers people : "What? You're not doing anything special?" "Come on you have to do something" "why don't you come with us, we'll throw you a party" No thanks. I'm not embarrassed to ask, I'm not shy I just don't like this stupid thing and would rather just stay at home. Why is that a thing? 12 12points reply V V V V Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago "The best birthday present you can give me is some peace and quiet. Don't even worry about wrapping it. Just go away." 2 2points reply Load More Replies... Sally Barry Sally Barry Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 4 months ago Once you're over the age of, say, 12, except for milestone birthdays, I don't think adults should keep making a BFD over their birfdays. Something sad about it - you need a party? You need presents and a cheap cake and pony rides and balloons? Everyone singing Happy Barfday, yaaaaaay, blow out the candles? Well, go right ahead if that's what you need. I wouldn't object to being taken out to eat or to a concert or a movie (now that the plague is subsiding somewhat). But I would hate a birthday party. It's kind of embarrassing. It's fine for little kids.

Give me ONE day of peace and quiet. I tell them this every. single. year. Haven't gotten it once in 25+ years. 0 0points reply Lovin' Life Lovin' Life Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Why are these things not acceptable? I love playing in parks, and sending my man flowers and time to myself. And why cant a man cry? They too have feelings and need to sometimes Express them. I think if you're comfortable with something, then do it. Who cares what others think. 10 10points reply Tiny Dynamine Tiny Dynamine Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Totally. I think this comes with age anyway as people re-evaluate their lives and everntually realise they can do what they want if it's not harming anyone. Shame it often takes that to change how we act. 5 5points reply Load More Replies...

The man is impossible to buy for and he already has way too much crap he doesn’t use or want. 3 3points reply Load More Comments Popular on Bored Panda I Used AI To See What These 23 Popular Cartoon Characters Would Look Like In Real Life 30 Y.O.
