Each and every one of us has a unique perspective. What we see through our very own pair of eyes, what we experience, is incomparable to anyone else’s day. And while that sounds very poetic and romantic, there’s still a huge overlap between how different people sense and experience the world. One of the beautiful things about being human is that we have so much more in common with each other than we think. You probably sense a big ‘but’ coming…

In some rare cases, however, what we believe is completely normal is, in fact, anything but. Internet users shared their most interesting tales about the strange things that their friends thought were something that happened to everybody, only for it to turn out to be the exact opposite.

From people thinking that the effects of lactose intolerance happened to everyone or sharing a toothbrush with their entire family to thinking that tigers were female lions, there’s a bit of serious and hilarious weirdness for everyone. And then there are the people who eat their cereal with orange juice who are in a league of their own! Check out the most peculiar stories below, Pandas!

I’m in college and I’m lucky enough to be able to rent a house, but I do have housemates, one of which we will call Cade. Cade is 6’4″, somewhat portly, kinda a quiet guy most of the time but a pretty sassy gay dude once you get past the first barrier.

Anyway, one day I came into the kitchen and I see him washing the dishes. Cool, no big deal, we don’t have an automatic dishwasher and it was his turn. I’m about to leave when I see him pick something up off the counter, bite into it, then set it back down. I only stop to look because I notice oddly the thing is bright yellow, and usually people don’t just eat bright yellow things.

Turns out Cade eats lemons. Like apples. With the peel still on. I confronted him about it and he thinks it’s the funniest thing ever that I’m freaked out by it, so now once or twice a week I get a snapchat of him aggressively eating a lemon at me. I think we’re gonna be friends for a long time.

My sister said to me once, “hey, what dream did you choose last night?” I was so confused. She explained that every night she goes into a dream room and picks what she wants to dream about. I got super jealous.

My husband had no idea he was lactose intolerant. He thought everyone had diarrhea everyday. He’s 26 and found out last year. How’d he find out? His mom told him. She’s known his whole life.

My aunt put a fence around the pool to keep the ducks out. She didn’t believe us when we told her they could just fly over it… Does this count?

My sister’s ex husband thought the moon was the sun but in “night mode” so it’s more dim.

The man was 43 years old.

This is when my sister realized this was the final straw and needs to get a divorce.

One time my best friend and I were on a voice chat as it was getting pretty late. At one point he said that he should probably head to bed because he was starting to see gory and otherwise disturbing things. Apparently he has hypnagogic hallucinations every so often and just assumed that it was normal when to see stuff when you get tired

I had a sleepover with a friend in middle school one weekend. I went to shower and she gave me a towel. It had a weird smell to it, but I couldn’t find any other towels inside the bathroom, so I used it by patting myself barely and just air drying.

Turns out her whole family shares a towel to prevent having to use new ones every time. I told her how weird that was and she was shocked to find out that my family has THEIR own towels to use, but we put them in the wash every 2 or so uses.

I didn’t sleep over there again.

My roomate in college thought you washed clothes on every single cycle on the washing machine. Our machine had a delicate cycle, a cotton cycle, a solo rinse cycle, a permanent press cycle, etc.

He always complained about the washer taking forever.. its because he was washing his clothes 4-5 times every time he did laundry.

Had a friend who I took shooting when we were like 20. He’s never shot before and when he was trying to aim he was tilting head strangely. When I questioned him about it, he said “well which eye do you see out of?!”

He had been blind in one eye his entire life and thought everyone was like that.

My friend can’t recognize faces. I only figured it out for sure when he almost got into a strangers truck because he thought it was me because she had red hair. I’ve known him for like 6 years. He seemed surprised when I said that wasn’t normal.

My friend thought that everyone was regularly taking worming tablets to stop getting worms. It wasn’t until she got married and told her husband she was going to go pick up their worming tablets that she found out it wasn’t normal.

My friend didn’t know martinis weren’t normally served in giant water-sized glasses and thought she was getting ripped off when she ordered one at a bar. Her parents were alcoholics.

A family member thought that hallucinations were something everyone dealt with. They thought that monsters under the bed and other cultural tales of ghosts were real things which were further confirmed by their experience.

It this led to later diagnosis of schizophrenia once they couldn’t cope well enough to deal with the symptoms and it became evident to family members.

My neighbours ate their Cornflakes with orange juice instead of milk. Their parents had conditioned them all to think this was normal and acceptable behavior.

Me and my sister at a festival in line for the toilets.

Me: You wanna pee first? I can hold your beer.
Sister: Naw, thats fine. I will just place it in the beerholder.
Me: …… you mean the urinal?

They carried a pizza box sideways under their arm…..

Wow! Im so glad it made other people as uneasy as it made me. It was a neighbor at a neighborhood pizza party that was kinda strange already. Everytime someone talks about him I’m like, “I knew he was strange since the pizza box incident.”
