People Are Sharing 40 Things That Aren't Socially Acceptable For No Reason Whatsoever

Not wanting to hold other people's babies...

Turning down an invitation to go out simply because you’d rather stay home with your pets, save money, and preserve your mental health in glorious solitude.

Using swings/playground equipment as an adult. 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.

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.

Leaving without giving an "acceptable" song and dance about why you are leaving, with leaving because you have basically reached your limit with socializing being "not a good enough reason"

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.

Being open/honest about not having kids. 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.

I'm a grown man and I love flowers. Not even 'masculine' flowers, I have an orchid collection.

NOT WEARING A BRA. SCREW BRAS. THERE I SAID IT.

waking up at 11am or later

i'm not lazy. my responsibilities are taken care of. i stay up late and value my sleep hours.

In some places, calling in sick, because it's "letting down the team" or whatever. Screw off, I'm sick as a dog. There's little I will accomplish other than feeling like death warmed up, so you aren't missing out on much. Plus I could spread whatever I've got to coworkers, then we're all sick

Wearing a surgical mask when you are sick to prevent giving the illness to others.

Men crying. It’s seen as a weakness typically rather than compassion.

Being single.

Some people are okay not being in a relationship for some time and are perfectly happy, but other people just don't understand that.

Not drinking alcohol around others who are drinking. People don’t like it

Going out for dinner by yourself

Being honest when asked “how are you”

Eating lunch alone in your car at work. It's quiet, comfortable, and I don't have to make small talk when I'm trying to have some 'me' time out of the office.

Napping at work during my lunch break. I don't really need food in the afternoon, what I really need is a nap!

Skipping as an adult. It's unfortunate because it is faster than walking and much more fun than running.

Yes I have no partner, yes that's my 6 year old kid having a blast

No I'm not a pedo but thank you for your questions and passive glares
