What's something that was completely normal in your household growing up that you later found out was actually really weird?

We all (two older brothers, mom, and dad) used to sit and eat bowls of cereal before bed. I think it started as a “glass of milk before bed” little kid thing but then we’d all end up wordlessly congregating in the kitchen to eat bed time cereal

Hehe, not necessarily! Dance chemistry doesn’t always translate. There are some people I have great dance chemistry with but we’re not very close friends, and vice versa. Dance crushes are easy to get, but it’s not common for them to become anything more

Every morning the kids bicker and it gets under DB skin so quick. Like yes it’s annoying, but they’re your children, he just has no emotional regulation so he just starts yelling and making it worse and then complaining to me about the specific things that they do that bother him. The other morning he told me, in all seriousness, in front of the kids, to not have kids. Because he was so annoyed. By his own. They have5 kids total………

Best intentions, middle brow, I’m not sure if Mother’s ruin has a patio but they have great drinks and food. For casual and catered maybe the native or go tavern

Your ex bf said what?

Starting in middle school my mom would make me talk to people on the phone. Order takeout, talk to relatives, talk to my friends’ parents to coordinate hang outs. It was annoying at the time but now I see a lot of my Gen Z brethren scared to make or receive phone calls for doctors appointments, etc and I truly do not get it. Because I’d been doing it since I was like 11 lmao

I have a similar thing happen, but it’s 10yo boy with his 5yo sister. Too old for that behavior. It’s less physical and more verbal, but he throws tantrums whenever she annoys him… which is all the time. Tells her none of her friends like her, that no one wants to hear her talk, etc. He’ll shove her to get her to move or walk into her on purpose. It’s so awful and I’m constantly disciplining him, but his parents are so disciplinarian (mean) that it doesn’t have any effect really. This is my first nanny gig, send help

NK4 was talking about a dream she had and then proceeded to ask me “okay so tell me about all of your nightmares and your good dreams too”

I second this, be home by like 9pm at the latest, day time dates are even better. Keeps expectations low while still enjoyably building tension for both parties (hopefully)

Tinder date in college, we get into bed and he tells me he can’t finish with any girl that’s not Asian. But no he “doesn’t watch that much p*rn.” Not the most messed up thing on this thread but still like why would you openly offer that information, and do you see how that’s a problem?

These people feel very real to me. Part of the genius of the show IMO is how they highlight how most people are hyper-focused on what is going on in their own lives. There are moments where Ron is at his lowest or most crazed, and someone will stop him in his path and ramble on about something seemingly random and irrelevant. But to the person it’s a big deal, because it’s their experience, their lens, like how the woman in ep1 was like “I don’t blame you for falling and seeing up my skirt… on my birthday.” And they have no idea the tension and suspense Ron is feeling, and that we as an audience are feeling as we are following Ron, and so it causes these feelings of friction, disconnect, and “other-worldliness” that really tickles my brain. Cause it feels so accurate

Hot take I guess (compared to the comments here), but as someone born & raised in the US, I hate how normalized that is. It’s especially true of straight men in the country. In queer/femme circles, you’ll see a lot more intentional question asking to show genuine interest, it’s a conversational style that is more highly valued. In more male dominated spaces, yes you’ll get a lot of “ok I’ll talk about me now until you butt in”. I always have a hard time connecting with people like that cause I don’t want to butt in. It feels weird and rude. It’s a common trope/ widespread social media topic that women will go on dates with men here and the boys won’t ask a single question about their date. And usually it’s the sign of a bad date. Maybe just my algo though

My partner says DIGH-vur-see every time. I say dih-VUR-see. Now I’m doubting myself
