People Are Talking About Everyday Behaviors Society Accepts That They Find 100% Creepy
Sometimes life can have some pretty cringey moments. Reddit user fuzzyloulou asked, "What behavior do most people accept that you find creepy?" Here are some of the most relatable responses:
1."Asking people why they don't have kids or when they're having kids. Pressuring them to have kids or insisting that they'll change their mind on having kids."
2."Filming in a gym when other people are around."
3."How casually some people track or monitor their partner's phone or social media activity. While some see it as a way to build trust, it feels invasive and can create an unhealthy relationship dynamic."
4."I think it's creepy when someone is turned down for a date, yet they continue to call or beg for a chance. Many people think this behavior is OK. When someone says no, that should be it. That answer should be acceptable, and everyone should move on."
5."People who stand too close while talking to you like, why do I need to smell your shampoo to have a conversation?"
6."Calling your lover mommy or daddy. Ew."
7."Showing up or dropping by people's houses without notice."
8."Guys who comment on women's appearances without being asked."
9."Men with a 10+ year age gap going after girls who are fresh out of high school."
10."Spitting in public."
11."Asking to hold a random person's baby."
12."Using the word 'porn' when not describing actual porn. For example, 'food porn.'"
13."Strangers rubbing a pregnant woman's stomach. During my pregnancy a few months ago, I had quite a few strangers at the store ask if they could rub my belly with zero interaction with them before asking. One lady put her hand on my stomach and asked if it was a boy or a girl."
14."When people overshare intimate details about their lives on social media, it creeps me out. I get some like to be open, but it's unsettling seeing private stuff for everyone to consume. It feels like there's no boundary, and the more personal it is, the more uncomfortable I feel reading it."
15."Forcing small talk in an elevator."
16."Allowing or forcing young children to be kissed or touched by adult relatives, even when they aren't comfortable or actively protest against it. I guess it's mostly older generations that accept this behavior though."
17."Romanticizing or sexualizing people's jobs like police, maids, mailmen, etc."
18."People kissing children on the lips has always given me the ick factor."
19.And finally, "Uber and Lyft. Getting in a stranger's car is still so crazy to me. Sure, they can 'work' for Uber or Lyft, but you have no clue who they really are."
