11. Whoops!
Making mistakes in general. i feel like there’s so much pressure for people to appear put together and sane at all times, in front of everyone, under any circumstance. Yet we all know that we aren’t perfect.
12. Bromance
Men appreciating their own sex, and male intimacy/bonding not being looked down upon. You don’t have to be gay for that.
13. Fuck Buddies
Casual sex. I get that everyone views it differently, but society has made it a blanket statement to say that if you have sex too often, you’re a whore and are deemed less valuable than others, which isn’t true.
14. Tidy AF
Being disheveled. There is undue social capital that comes from neatly groomed hair and wrinkle free clothes — all of which is a waste of time and resources.
15. Politics!
Socialism (in the US)
I don’t want free college or free healthcare. I want the government to step in to more heavily regulate, or outright manage, industries which do not effectively serve the people when when subject to normal market forces. With regards to services which are good for the public, and should be available to everyone (healthcare, college, etc), if I’m presented with the choice between a fee (private insurance/student tuition) or a tax, my choice is whichever costs society less (which has demonstrably been proven to be the tax in such industries).
I don’t want to take people’s money. I want the tax code to benefit the least privileged among us, not the most. We already have redistribution of wealth, but, for the past 30+ years, it has served to redistribute wealth from the middle-class to the upper-class. I would like to see that reversed.
16. Money, Money, Money
Discussing finances. It is nice to be able to discuss expenses with friends and family but I have to be cautious with most people as it can be seen as rude. So many people pay too much for things or don’t understand investing or paying off debt, buy it is rude to educate them or discuss options. Sadly the people who could use advice the most are the worst off and most embarrassed by it so they want to keep it quiet.
17. Slow TF Down!
Walking slowly.
I have an old injury that acts up from time to time. Sometimes I liked to stroll even when I’m not hurting. There’s plenty of room, go around me or wait patiently.
It’s a fucking mall/park/stadium. Nowhere you are going is so important that you can’t wait a few seconds to get around me. If you are in that much of a hurry outside of an actual emergency situation, that’s your problem, not mine. Life is too short for you to be rude.
18. I Do
Men taking women’s surnames when they get married. I’m planning on doing it now and you wouldn’t believe the backlash you get. Honestly, it’s just a fucking name, it doesn’t matter… but when you grow up in the knowledge that women almost always lose their surname upon marriage and men almost never do, that matters. That’s a really subtle way to tell women they mean less than men from an early age.
19. FIGHT!
I wish fighting was more acceptable, like a good ole fisticuffs fight. Where both party’s agree to the terms and consequences.
20. Shut TF Up!
Calling people out on their bullshit.
If someone is being abusive to a store employee, I wish people would step in more often and tell them to stop. The employee can’t speak for themselves or else they’ll get fired, but someone else can easily step in and say “Hey, you need to stop being an asshole to this person and accept the fact that they’re not taking your 2 year expired coupon.”
It boils my blood when customers try to recruit others in on their shitty behaviour by calling out people and saying “isn’t this ridiculous”
I wish people would step in and say “no, shut the fuck up.”
21. Role Playing
Men taking on less-traditional roles. I cannot do many things that men typically are associated as skilled at. Such as fixing electrical and buildings things. Now, you need some laundry done and dinner cooked? I’m your guy.
22. Honestly…
Being 100% honest in job interviews.
“So what made you want to apply?”.
“My current job is overwhelming and the pay is less than desirable. I applied to find out how much you pay and to see if I will like this better than my current job.”
23. Swapping
Polyamory. It would make my life so much easier to just be able to be honest about my relationship status/lifestyle without people taking it as a personal offense somehow. Or accusing me of child abuse because having more than two loving, caring parents is somehow child abuse.
24. Man Up!
As a male.
Asking for help.
I can’t even begin to explain how frustrating it is, when I’ve had a financial, emotional, personal “issue” and people have just said “Man up!”
Gee thanks…. doesn’t help that I’m in debt from making mistakes and looking for guidance and you tell me to suck it up and keep moving on.
25. High AF
People who do drugs.
I go to school, I go to work, I take care of my family and live a pretty regular life.
I’ve never stolen or done anything bad to anybody in order to obtain my substance of choice, and I only get high at night. I don’t even drink or smoke.
One day I do hope to stop, but I wish that people didn’t view me as a scumbag when/if they find out my secret.
I understand many addicts are not like me, but we aren’t all bad people either.
26. ( . )( . )
Checking out boobs. Everyone knows everyone does it
includingespecially women, but it’s a huge taboo and you get treated like a perv if you get caught. They’re beautiful and brighten our day: May we admire them?
27. YES!
Peeing in the shower. Everyone does it, why do people act grossed out by it? Are there people out there who actually get out of the shower midway through to pee in the toilet and flush?
28. No.
Pissing in the sink. It’s just convenient.
We know you can choose a lot of sites to read, but we want you to know that we’re thankful you chose Did You Know.
You rock! Thanks for reading!
