POINTLESS RULES OF SOCIETY

Reddit asked, “What’s a rule in society that everyone agrees is pointless, but we all still follow?” Some of the responses:
– “Clicking ‘I have read and agree to the terms and conditions’— we all know nobody’s reading that.”
– “Inviting all your relatives to your wedding.”
– “Saying ‘We should get together sometime’ with no intention of ever doing so.”
– “When you go to a bank and have to snake through the ropes even when no one else is in line. I tried going around once and the teller told me not to.”
– “The need to buy an expensive engagement ring to demonstrate your love.”
– “The idea of certain foods for certain parts of the day. If I want a cheeseburger at 6am, and your restaurant can make cheeseburgers, then what’s the problem?”
– “You can’t wear jeans or street clothes to church. If God is judgemental of my jeans and Nikes, then I need to upgrade spiritual bodies.”
– “Waiting at a red light when you are the only vehicle around.”
– “Matching socks.”
* Yes, but it used to be one of the unspoken rules was you don’t wear pajamas out in public. Now look at us.
* When someone hands you their phone to look at pictures of their pet, apparently it’s wrong to throw that phone as far as you can. Who knew?
* PHONE TOPIC: What societal rule are you tired of?
