When you live with something for a long time, it tends to become a part of your daily life, and you begin to accept it as normal. This is what has happened with many weird things in our society that probably shouldn’t be treated so casually.
The folks on this list share all the examples of things that have been accepted as normal that are actually pretty weird and bizarre. Some of them you might agree with, and others you might have opinions on. Maybe you might even come up with examples of your own!

As a non-American, I am amazed at their credit score system. As a third world citizen, credit cards are usually for rich (and slightly less rich) people who have more disposable money than the rest of us and could pay off their debt.
The way I see people on reddit talk about it is strange and somewhat scary. Everyone should have a card of his own as soon as he becomes an adult, you should always buy things with it and pay back to actively build your score. You’re basically doomed if you don’t have a good score, and living your life peacefully without a card is not an option, and lastly you’ll be seen as an idiot if you know nothing about it.
