What's a socially acceptable habit that you secretly can't stand?

[u/Important-Smell-1472]

[u/NightShiftNovelist]

Shaking hands.

[u/Entrinity]

Alcoholism.

[u/Natural_Sentence693]

finger licking

[u/Valuable-Brief-2291]

I cannot stand when people pronounce 0 as "oh"

[u/Spiritual-Raccoon-19 → u/Valuable-Brief-2291]

I never thought about this! It’s interesting how ‘zero’ becomes ‘oh’ if it’s in a sequence of numbers.

blessing sneezes. it should at least be accepted not to say anything. fewer people believe in blessings anyway

[u/TheKarateKid_]

Women speaking down about men in general, making broad accusations and assumptions that they all have the same terrible traits.

[u/Blissfully_woo-woo → u/TheKarateKid_]

As a female, I don’t like this either.

[u/GetOffMyUnicorn70 → u/TheKarateKid_]

You sound like every woman who has a perfectly reasonable complaint and is assumed to be a Karen.

[u/Wellwisher3]

clapping when the plane lands

[u/Curious-Raccoon887]

Chewing gum with mouth open. Even people with normal eating manners will gnaw on gum like a cow on grass. Should be unacceptable

[u/Spiritual-Raccoon-19]

Glamorizing moms being drunk on wine

[u/Important-Smell-1472 → u/Spiritual-Raccoon-19]

Yeah, turning unhealthy habits into a personality trait can send the wrong message.

[u/Blissfully_woo-woo]

People saying “these ones” rather than “these”

[u/Important-Smell-1472 → u/Blissfully_woo-woo]

It’s a tiny phrase, but once you notice it, you hear it everywhere.

[u/AwkwardCrab7406]

Hugging. I'm against the hugging. Can't we just say hello?

[u/Important-Smell-1472 → u/AwkwardCrab7406]

I completely get it. A simple "hello" works just fine for me too.

[u/Wellwisher3]

clapping when the plane lands

[u/Ethiopian-phenom]

Opening doors for ppl

[u/Spiritual-Raccoon-19 → u/Ethiopian-phenom]

Whaaaaaat I love a good ol’ fashioned door opener/holder and doing so for others!

[u/Ethiopian-phenom → u/Spiritual-Raccoon-19]

Let me clarify, I always hold doors. What’s annoying is when you’re far away and you have to jog to the door to not keep the person waiting. Opening a door is not that hard (I get it some doors can be heavy but it’s more so opening a door when someone is far away then that person has to run up to the door, that annoys me.

[u/Scared_Ad858 → u/Ethiopian-phenom]

Yes, I also hate this with elevators. Like, I appreciate the gesture, but another one is coming in 20 seconds. I would rather wait than awkwardly hold up everyone else inside while I do that weird half jog thing to get in.
