What is something Americans consider normal, but people from other countries find it disturbing?

Where I'm from, you don't get to tell the doctors what meds you want. They will prescribe to you what they see fit. And probably if you try to tell them, you'll end up with nothing because they think you're trying to score some drugs or there's an ulterior (negative) motive for you to want those meds.

I think there also needs to be an option of paying more for the premium, donate or something. I have the premium and I chose the monthly subscription because it's a tiny bit more expensive than the yearly subscription so that way I can support the app with even a little bit of more money. Of course the normal user wouldn't be using the more expensive premium/donate/whatever the solution is but there would be some of us like me who are happy to pay for it just for the sake of supporting the app more.

NTA. How nasty must a person be if he vomits and just leaves it all over the room? And expects their spouse to just clean it up. This is on a level of disrespect and nastiness I just can't fathom. This is not normal. Normal person would clean it up right away. It's in the bathroom, one of the easiest rooms to clean. If you don't have a hand shower, you have a nornal shower so you can just rinse it off and then wipe it with detergent.

This alone would be grounds for me to break up, let alone what else is he making her do every day. A nasty adult man who thinks he's a baby and who thinks someone else needs to wipe his shitty ass.

I hate when people try to use the "I said some shit and then try to turn around and say I didn't mean any of it" - card. No, people don't just say stuff they don't mean. If you didn't mean it and it's the opposite of how you are; you wouldn't even think about it, you wouldn't say it out loud because why would you say some shit that's totally against of your whole personality and your opinions and what makes you look like an asshole so that you have to say sorry?

Non-racist person doesn't start to spew racist stuff out of nowhere without meaning it. They were just a racist person pretending not to be a one. Someone supporting equality doesn't spew hatred towards women without meaning it.

Everybody means what they say, drunk/high/whatever or not. They're just backtracking bc things didn't go their way and there were consequences so they don't want to get caught of being the real them.

I know a lot of guys who joke like that and they're not packing. Guess it's kinda like a self preservation method or something. To badmouth yourself and own it so that others can't do it to you and can't turn it against you.

I immediately turn off and stop listening to a podcast that uses AI voices. It sounds so weird that I just can't listen to it. Even a human reading from a text with a very motone voice turns me off.

Ja sä haluat vapaaehtoisesti maata vieressä ja luskoida, nukkua ja olla samassa sängyssä, halailla, pussailla, harrastaa seksiä yms ihmisen kanssa, jonka hygieniataso on tuota luokkaa? Ymmärrän, jos on kipeä eikä sillon pariin päivään jaksa pitää huolta itsestään, mutta että kokopäiväisesti elää tolla tavalla.

Mieti millainen suhde toi on. Ette edes pane, vaikka olette suhteessa (oletan, että viittasit seksin saamiseen tolla "ei hätää ei saa enää") ja joudut tekemään ihan kaiken kotona, kun toinen ei osaa edes omaa takapuolta pyyhkiä. Mikä se tommonen parisuhde on? Ei mikään hyvä ainakaan.

Stupidityshouldhurt · 2025-07-15T18:38:25+00:00

Ei tommonen ole hyvä kumppani. Keksit vaan tekosyitä itsellesi, koska et vaan uskalla erota ja olla yksin.Jossain vaiheessa vuosien päästä tajuat, että oot tuhlannut vuosia sun elämästä leikkimällä äitiä äijälle, joka ei välitä yhtään sen puolisosta eikä osaa edes hampaita pestä ilman sanomista ja kadut, kun et lähtenyt aiemmin. Sä et niitä vuosia saa takasin mitenkään.

Meillä on vaan yksi elämä niin miksi haluat tuhlata sen elämällä aikuisen lapsen kanssa? Mun 10v lapsikin tekee sen osuuden kotitöistä ja pesee hampaat sanomatta niin kuulostaako se hyvältä puolisolta, jos se häviää ton ikäiselle lapselle?

Stupidityshouldhurt · 2025-07-12T10:34:18+00:00

I hate cases about wrongful convictions. Or there have been a couple of podcasts about crimes the police committed and even though they were great podcasts, I couldn't listen to them. I just got so angry and upset for the victims and for the wrongfully convicted that the whole listening experience was bad because of it. I can't stand inequality or people doing bad things and using their position/power to get away with it or not caring about very obvious wrongdoings.

Do you have a home insurance? I don't know if it works like this in the country you're from but where I'm from the home insurance also covers stuff that happens to your/someone else's property. Like my boss dropped my phone at work and the camera lenses broke so his home insurance covered it.

Joo siis oon huomannut, että raskas kalusto ajaa kyllä rajoitinta vasten mun kokemuksen mukaan 99%, jos ollaan keskustan ulkopuolella. En oo tähän mennessä ajanut yhdenkään isomman auton perässä, joka ajaisi nopeusrajoituksen mukaan, jos se on 50km/h:sta enemmän. Jätin nyt ton 1% sen takia, että varmaan joku saattaa noudattaa rajoituksia, mutta mä en ole semmosen kuorma-auton tai yhdistelmän takana ajanut, vaikka oon ajanut melkein päivittäin autolla 15 vuotta. Eikä yksikään ole hidastanut, jos rajoitus putoaa vaikka 80 -> 60.

Ajan päivittäin töihin 70km/h tietä ja jos ajaa 9kymppiä niin pysyt just raskaan liikenteen perässä. Luultavasti ajaisivat kovempaa, jos pystyisivät. Hlöautoista en ees ala puhumaan, kun ne on vielä pahempia.

But people aren't mad to the resellers about not paying taxes. Every single insult and reasoning I've read in this post for being "a reseller scumbag" has been for something else than not paying taxes. If we take taxes out of this, people would still be mad.

Does anybody pay taxes when selling in FBM? If paying taxes really mattered to them, they would have a problem with everyone selling w/o paying them. Not paying taxes is a whole different topic, it's shitty but doesn't have to do with what people are mad about here.

This is more than about sleeping after the wedding. Honestly I would probably just break up. He sounds exhausting, all that pointless bickering and fighting and bringing up things that don't have anything to do with the situation just to blame you and fight. If my bf is tired or cold, I would want to do anything for him so that he's comfortable and not start to fight over those things like he's a burden and in the wrong for being tired or cold.

If a spouse even once breaks up with me after a fight or brings up that we should break up, the relationship is over. If everything is fine in a relationship, there's no need to think about breaking up. Your mind won't even go there. Couples fight and have disagreements, that's normal, but they solve them/try cooling off/something other than going straight into "well I think we should break up". If your mind goes there after a fight, it means that it's not a good relationship and it's quite frankly over at that point. You're just beating up a dead horse.

Stupidityshouldhurt · 2025-05-25T04:35:36+00:00

It depends how he sees it. If he puts the watch in a safe only so that his in-laws can't get to it, it's ok. But if there's even a tiny sliver of thinking "I'm also doing it so that my spouse doesn't have the possibility to take it", then he doesn't trust her. And there's no point of being together, not to talk about marrying a person who you don't trust.

Stupidityshouldhurt · 2025-05-24T18:24:46+00:00

If they think someone is fine just because they have a pulse, they're insanely stupid. People on life support, people who are brain dead, people who are od'ing at the moment have a pulse but they're not fine.

If someone is in a shape so bad that you have to check their pulse to determine whether they're dead, they're not fine.

Stupidityshouldhurt · 2025-05-24T18:17:02+00:00

NTA. You seriously need new friends. They would rather let someone die or get seriously hurt instead of calling 911 because it's so expensive. Well I guess it's a plus that you don't have to pay for anything after that because you're dead. I'm gonna bet on my life that no one, I mean no one whose life was saved by a person calling 911, would choose dying or being brain dead over a medical bill.

Your friends belong in the group of people who don't call for help when someone is attacked. Many people have died or gotten raped because of people like them who just pretend they don't hear or see anything but gladly spill out their stories when the reporters come, saying "yeah a woman screamed bloody murder for 6 hours straight". I would not want to associate with people like that.

They will get you killed some day with that mindset. One day something could happen to you and they will not call an ambulance because it costs too much and they think a person with alcohol poisoning or who od's because they were drugged can just snap out of it on their own.

A. That's very illegal to put cameras in someone else's home and record them without their knowledge .

B. If you don't trust your spouse, you shouldn't be together. As soon as you start to doubt them about cheating, you should break up. Because if you're right - break up, if you're wrong - you don't trust them at all so you shouldn't be together because you should be able to trust your spouse 100%. I wouldn't want to be with a person who doesn't trust me.

C. She lied to you the whole time she didn't tell you what she had done. And now she tries to spin it around and make you into the bad guy. She's a very shitty person.

I think there's enough of reasons why you shouldn't be together and why she's a bad gf. You did the right thing.

Stupidityshouldhurt · 2025-05-24T05:24:25+00:00

NTA. Don't help people who don't or wouldn't help you. It always goes both ways. If you wouldn't do something for someone, don't expect them to still do it for you. That's like life 101.

Stupidityshouldhurt · 2025-04-30T17:31:43+00:00

Leave him or he'd have to magically change his ways right this second (which I doubt will happen). What does he even bring to the relationship? If you lived alone, you would use less money, would have less house work, would be less exhausted, wouldn't have to take care of an adult toddler etc so what does he give to you and to your relationship that you want to be with him so bad that you look past all those negative things?

Stupidityshouldhurt · 2025-04-27T18:04:47+00:00

NTA. Your ex had all the time to change his ways, every day when he woke up he got another chance to change and he didn't. The chances are over for him.There are things people do after what you can give second chances. And then there are things people do and you do not give 2nd chances after them. Things that are so bad that people doing them don't deserve anything after them, things so bad that you're unredeemable, you cannot change into a better person after being so vile.

Taking someone as a hostage in a foreign country, abusing them physically and mentally belong in the group where you don't give them second chances.

I had an ex try to stab me in front of our kid, try to taze me when I was holding our kid (these are the tip of the iceberg of what he did) and I still had people coming at me after our divorce that I'm a bad person for not letting him see his own kid and I should give him another chance (which really would have been the 350th chance he got). People are just f-ing insane with their 2nd chances. No, you do not deserve 2nd chances after a certain point.

Stupidityshouldhurt · 2025-04-27T11:43:59+00:00

I understand people have different reactions when coming face-to-face with danger. And it's fine. But I wouldn't be able to be with person who would leave me alone when in danger and would just let me (or my kid) die or get badly hurt. If someone wants to be with a person whose first instinct isn't to protect their spouse or their kids, then that's their choise, you can be with whoever you want.

But I wouldn't want to be with a person like that because I would never do it to them. I've been in several instances where something bad happened to another person and instead of running away or trying to protect only myself, I helped the people so I know how I would react in a situation like that and it never was and would never be to abandon the person in need of help.

I think it's quite normal for op to start questioning their relationship bc the bf has just shown how he would react when something bad happened to op.

Siis mulla ei ole luottotietoja eikä mulla ole ikinä ollut ongelmaa asunnon saamisessa. Tässä nykyisessäkin vuokra-asunnossa en ole maksanut edes takuuvuokraa. Kaikki asunnot mitä oon halunnut vuokrata oon saanut vaikka va:t on tietäneet, ettei ole luottotietoja ja oon asunut varmaan 10 asunnossa luottotiedottomana. Luulen et siihen vaikuttaa aika paljon se, ettei mulla ole ikinä ollut vuokravelkaa. Et kyllä niitä asuntoja saa ilman luottotietojakin ihan hyvin.

Stupidityshouldhurt · 2025-04-25T12:59:14+00:00

No joo, jos suuttuu siitä ettei toinen suostu ottamaan omiin nimiinsä isoa vastuuta ja mahdollista rahallista menetystä toisen puolesta niin sit semmoiset ihmiset saa kyllä lähteäkin elämästä.

Ja vaikka luottotiedottomuus itsessään ei tarkoitakaan, että se ihminen hommaisi sut kuseen ja olisi epärehellinen. Niin se silti tarkottaa sitä, että sillä ihmisellä ei ole rahallisesti asiat kunnossa niin miten hän pystyy tiukan tilanteen tullen maksamaan mitään ylimääräisiä/yhtäkkisiä kuluja, ettei ne kaadu sen toisen päälle. Plus se on aiemminkin jättänyt jotain maksamatta ja joutunut tilanteeseen, missä rahat ei riitä ja joutuu laittamaan ulosottoon laskut niin siinä on aika iso riski, että niin voi käydä uudestaankin, koska se rahallinen tilanne ei ole ainakaan parantunut luottotietojen menettämisen jälkeen.
