Hey Pandas, What's Something That Seems Normal But Isn't?

Common sense. Less common than you’d think.

People taking their kids to places not meant for kids like late night R-rated movies, bars, expensive restaurants that don't even have a kid's menu (which should be a huge hint), and breweries....then get all offended when people do adult-things like swear or light up a cigarette (in places that allow it in designated areas). IDGAF if babysitters are too expensive, that's no excuse to mess up everybody else's good time because you're an inconsiderate cheapskate.

Don't you dare. It sounds normal until you say do not you dare.

It is what it is.

It's what it's.

Sending your children off to stay with almost complete strangers to raise for 8 to 12 hours a day, so you can earn enough money to send them off to stay with almost complete strangers.

Using idioms in day to day conversations. I was taught some idioms that have fallen out of common usage in school so people look at me weirdly whenever I use one of them

Everyone in school, teachers, my parents, siblings, etc. knows that I am not comfortable with talking. If I meet any adult or kid I’m uncomfortable around, you will think I’m mute. And you know what people tell me? They tell me I’m weird, they say things behind my back, my teachers call on me 10x more than anyone else in my class. I just don’t like talking and everyone thinks it’s not normal :(

Seeing stars and getting a little dizzy when you bend down to pick something up or work in the Garden. Or get up too fast from kneeling. Not everybody gets this feelings. It's because of low blood pressure 🤷‍♀️ It was crazy for me finding out not everybody needs to lean on a wall after getting up in the morning 😅

"Everyone for themselves" has been normalised to the point where we think we are weak when we need help.

It really does take a village to help and support one another and we won't even call friends because we don't want to be a burden on them.

You're not weak, ask for help, then you help someone else when they need it. Let's get back to that kind of society.

Being both gifted in math and reading. It is fairly common in children but not very common in adults.

The fact that in Irish, “I don’t care” is “Is cuma liom”.

Ok? Yeah, seems fine.

But, it is the exact same words for “I care”.

Being normal

Talking about good things that happened rather then just bad

the waste of plastic

How you have to wash towels. If you come out of a shower clean then how the freak does it get dirty

the fact that if you are 14, in 4 years you are legally an adult

Coping with your aging body. Like literally, HOW??? My knees are aging faster than my shoulders. My neck is stiff from sleeping too much. WTF is too much sleep tbh? Bloating, indigestion, joint pain... EXPLAIN IT TO ME..!!!!!

Being quiet, especially around there parent.

The biggest source of microplastics is rubber from our tyres as the interact with roads

Growing up everyone (kids) would banter all the time. My friends and I can still banter. This isn't normal to the younger generation or elderly generation. The younger ones get overly offended by everything. Like everything. I don't even cross lines with bantering. Like nothing that offends race, religion or gender. The elder generation can just get irritated. Some elderly will laugh and call you a smart a*s or banter back. So, they aren't that bad. If you grew up in the 80's and 90's you know the bantering I'm talking about.
