People Talk About the Weird Things They’d Like to Make Socially Acceptable

We all gotta live by the rules, people.

And when I say that, I’m talking about real rules, like laws, and also ones that are socially acceptable, like not talking to your food while you eat it on a park bench…you’ve seen that before, right…?

What weird things would you like to make socially acceptable if you could?

Let’s see what AskReddit users had to say about this.

1. Dressed for success.

“Wearing nicer clothes then normal for no reason.

Yes, I’m usually in jeans and a t-shirt at work.

Yes, today I decided to wear a suit.

No, I don’t have a job interview or have to go to court.”

2. Not feeling it.

“Not wanting to “hustle” or making someone else rich.

I don’t want to put in 60 work hours so I can have a materially successful life”

3. You should be comfortable.

“Wearing shorts at work during summer.

Why wear pants when you could be more comfortable?”

4. Show ’em some love!

“Men hugging each other often and showing affection.

I used to see this when I was younger, then I think as a society we decided to label such behavior as “gay”.”

5. Feels good.

“Skipping.

It’s more fun and energy efficient than running.

I sometimes do it when I’m alone, because I like the way it feels.”

6. You’re gonna listen to me.

“Correcting other people’s kids.

Not physically, but telling them to quit their bullsh*t if their parents aren’t doing it.”

7. Open up about it.

“Talking about our mental health issues.

We all face some level of depression or anxiety.

Why are we lying and pretending to be happy all the time?”

8. Definitely not for everyone.

“Telling someone you’re child-free/don’t want children without being told “you’ll change your mind!” and other related nonsense.

Unfortunately, a lot of people find us odd or not “real women” for being uninterested in having children.

It’s not for everyone.”

9. It’s not weak.

“Men should be allowed to express emotions without being seen as weak.

It upsets me to see people in pain due to things that aren’t their fault.”

10. Dive in!

“Dumpster diving.

As a society we throw so much away, normalizing dumpster diving would save a lot of salvageable items from going into a landfill.”

11. Not feeling the 9 to 5.

“Doing things later in the day.

Getting groceries at 10pm or spa appointments at 8pm.

Being able to do vacuuming in my condo at midnight without neighbors complaining.

Society is set up for a 9 to 5 life.”

12. Minimalism.

“Minimalist living.

If my house is livable, my car is drivable, and my kids are fed and happy, nobody should care if we don’t have the latest game system or the biggest TV or nicest clothes or whatever.

Our worth should be based on who we are as a person, not what kind of stuff we own.”

13. Let’s cuddle.

“Platonic cuddling among friends.

No expectation of s*xual contact, just that if you and your friend are feeling touchy hungry, you can cuddle on the couch and it will not change your friendship dynamic, because its socially accepted that sometimes you need a cuddle.”

14. Ladies, you’re up.

“Women being topless.

It sucks that in hot weather men and kids can roam around topless but a woman can practically get arrested in some places for having her boobs on show.

Bras and bikini tops are frickin uncomfortable not to mention rubbish tan lines. They’ve started trying to make breast feeding in public less of an issue so who knows, maybe I’ll be able to get my baps out in a few years.”

What about you?
