Many legal and permissible activities are considered strange or unusual. A user asked the forum, “What is perfectly legal but weird as hell?”
SMELLING A SEAT
“Smelling a seat when someone stands up.
I saw a man do similar on a subway. A woman got up from her seat, and he rushed over and pressed his cheek into the warm spot.”
FIGHTING FOR A PET ON DIVORCE
“Divorce lawyer here. People are fighting like mad to get the dog in the divorce and then turning it over to a shelter out of spite. Although now in CA, there can be SERIOUS consequences for doing that due to recent law changes about pets and divorce, but it wasn’t always that way.”
CHOOSING A TREADMILL NEXT TO A WOMEN
“My friend’s dad took us to the gym when we were kids. There was a line of about 30 treadmills with only one person, a lady, on the end. He proceeds to pick the only treadmill adjacent to hers. Lol, even as a kid, I was like, common man.”
EXPLOITING KIDS
“Exploiting your kids for fame on social media.”
SITTING NEAR SOMEONE
“Sitting beside someone in a bus/train when there are multiple available seats.”
NOT TURNING AROUND ON ELEVATOR
“Walking into an elevator and not turning around.”
CHILD BEAUTY PAGEANTS
“Child beauty pageants.
I have seen some of it, and yeah, always a bunch of self-obsessed mothers putting their daughters through stress and misery.
Telling their daughters that only looks matter so that the mother can get another trophy to stick in their display case and call themselves winners.”
STALKING
“Stalking.
“Technically, they’re doing nothing wrong, and we can’t do anything until they basically murder you first.”
TABLOID JOURNALISM
“Tabloid journalism, speculating random things about famous people off insane photos from paparazzi, speculating about health, relationships, etc., even going so far as to doctor photos just to sell the story they want.”
STARING AT SOMEONE
“Staring at someone with minimal blinking and not at all trying to hide it while not speaking or doing anything else.”
FILMING A SCENE OF ACCIDENT
“Filming the scene of accidents while emergency health care is being delivered.”

“Taking photos of strangers and then uploading them on the internet.”
LICKING A SPILLED FOOD FROM THE TABLE

SCREAMING IN PUBLIC
“Screaming in a public place just like that? Unless it’s a curfew, of course, or you’re yelling at another person.”
ROBBING
“Robbing/holding back the little people (unpaid internships, unnecessary qualifications, skewed pay scales).
No wonder people aren’t having kids (can’t afford and who wants to bring kids into this?), plus people making survivalist/independent living, but soon that will be illegal too (work as a slave in our fed-up system!).”
LYING
“Lying about things you’ve accomplished so people will like you.”
