We live in a world where a lot of people do things that are actually super rude on a day-to-day basis, but never give a second thought to why it's so rude.
Pregnant people, for example, have to put up with countless folk vying to touch their baby bumps without asking permission.
Then there's the problem of people who are more interested in their phone screens than the person they're supposed to be hanging out with. It has to stop.
Now, to save at least a few people from similar experiences, Redditors have been answering user u/emilychaan's question: "What is one thing that you find super rude but is very normalized in society?"
Here are 17 of the rudest things that society has sadly normalized:
1. Not letting people know their job applications have been unsuccessful"I wish they would let me know if they didn't want me so I could move on and not have hope. The ghosting kinda puts everyone in limbo and sends even more applications elsewhere." - u/MunchieMinion3
This one definitely speaks for itself and is something that women, in particular, will be able to relate to.
"There's literally nothing wrong with me; this is just my face." - u/sbashe5
"How cashiers/customer service workers have to absorb all the hate and rudeness from customers and remain calm or else they'll get in trouble." - u/HungryBones
"Sure, the occasional accident can happen, but if you're habitually late, that's just disrespectful." - u/Ok-Supermarket-1414
"Also, stop looking at other people's phones while they're using them." - u/PickPsychological144
"Even more so if you are female." - u/e_l_r
"Super f**king rude. People who steal produce like that would probably not be so eager to if they only knew the pesticides, dirt, bacteria, and mites that live on the outside of unwashed fruit." - u/Swedish-Butt-Whistle
"Making comments about someone's weight and how much or little they're eating." - u/booksoverppl
"Everyone feels like they can pat you on the back or ask to touch your hair, especially as a Black woman. Why are people so okay with it?" - u/Illustrious-Worry890
It's what it says on the tin, really. Please bin your cigarette butts! They are not only litter but a potential fire hazard too.
"Asking someone you just met what their occupation is and how much money they make. And you always have to explain your answer." - u/Circles208
"Not sure why people think this is okay." - u/fu11h4m
"Not responding when a cashier or employee says 'how are you today?'" - u/BooksMcGee
"Reclining a seat on an airplane without asking the person behind you." - u/Lkmifan1
"It's no one's business, and they don't know what's going on in other people's heads, but nobody ever tells them not to do that!" - u/Retrosonic82
"There are so many reasons this is wrong. Also, you could just be wrong about how you see someone as presenting! The norm should be to use they/them pronouns until you know. Also, NORMALIZE ASKING FOR PRONOUNS! I identify as genderfluid, so I use she/they/he, and my friends ask my pronouns regularly." - u/randomlesbian211102
"Unless you are expecting something really important, I feel like you really don't want to be talking to me." - u/notme1414
So, if you happen to be guilty of any of these 17 things, you might want to reconsider your actions, as most likely, you'll have experienced the frustration that this type of rudeness causes as well!

Starbucks literally just finished racial bias training - we've been told time and time again that discrimination against anyone for essentially existing and doing all the crap people seemingly do every day is not right (you shouldn't have to be told anyway, it should be instilled upon you from birth) yet here we are again with another clown.
Footage has emerged of a man racially abusing a worker at a fast food restaurant for not honoring his burger voucher.
The man launches a vile tirade against the server at the Jack in a Box restaurant in Manvel, Texas where at one point he threatens to send her "back to Mexico."
The original video by Lupita Rangel, was posted here by Wolfie Hernandez, the original post translates to, "I buy you a ticket back to #Mexico", so threaten this man to a Latina employee in a #jackinthebox, apparently the man got upset because he didn't make a coupon that was already beaten, the facts happened to #south From #Houston."
Lupita herself posted: "Never thought i'd experience racism so close."
Another member of staff steps in to try and identify what the issue is. The man responds "She lied her a** off. She thought she could get away with it." While the member of staff tries to tell the man that he will be getting what he had asked for, the man interjects, and claims he had seen the woman dropping food.
He then asks the woman's name and says "goodbye Maria. I'm going to buy you a ticket back to Mexico." The man then storms out of the premises. The video has been viewed over 86,000 times, with many people sharing their outrage at the footage.
Jason Steinberg wrote: "Another day, another angry racist." Christopher Green wrote: "That's horrible. People go through life angry about the smallest things and that talk such hatred ... karma will get him."
Hopefully, a similar fate befalls the unnamed man as it did New York lawyer, Aaron Schlossberg. His racist rant lead to some rather delicious just desserts.
People posted so many negative reviews on his law firm’s Yelp listing that Yelp themselves had to intervene. The company says its policy for news making businesses is to remove posts “that appear to be motivated more by the news coverage itself than the reviewer’s personal consumer experience with the business”.
New reviews about the law firm that apparently slipped through the filtering range from ironically helpful—like how concerned New Yorkers can lodge complaints—to tabloid headline-like condemnations (and subtle sketch show references) such as: “Ya done messed up now, A-a-ron!!”
Schlossberg is no longer welcome in the building where he rents office space. This is probably the result of critics quickly locating Schlossberg’s office listing on Google Maps.
Not only did this include changing the business category to “Mexican Restaurant” and swapping a photo of the attorney for an image of a dog being hit in the face with a frisbee, they also created a GoFundMe page raising “$500 to send a Mariachi band to cheer up the staff and attorneys at The Law Office of Aaron M. Schlossberg Esq. after a difficult day”.
Unsurprisingly, Schlossberg has a history of being a complete a**hole. Internet sleuths and activists dug up dirt on Schlossberg, including video of him calling someone an “ugly f**king foreigner” and photos of him in the company of noted pro-Trump trolls not to mention berating Jewish people for going on marches for Palestine. Talk s**t, get hit...with the scorn of millions of Americans, united in their total disgust of you. Your time is coming, blue t-shirt man.

A shopper buying a packet of cigarettes has taken to social media to reveal that they scalded a stranger after they told them that they shouldn't smoke.
People online have been left divided after the unidentified stranger took to Reddit under the username 'cigsforgrandpa' to share their story in the 'Am I the A**hole' subreddit - a section of the site where users share a recent grievance and the online community decides whether or not they were in the wrong.
The unnamed user starts their story by writing: "This happened this morning.
"I was at the grocery store buying some food and then while the cashier was done scanning my s**t, I asked her to get me a carton of Camels. I don’t smoke, they were for my grandpa.
However, the Redditor then reveals that as the cashier was fetching the cigarettes, the man behind them - a "middle-aged dude" - said: "You're so young, you shouldn't be smoking."
The Redditor continues: "I don't think this was an appropriate comment even if I did smoke because it's none of his f***ing business. I said 'they're not for me, they’re for my grandpa.'"
After the cashier finished scanning the Redditor's items, the stranger once again interrupted, telling them that their grandpa shouldn't smoke either.
The Redditor explains: "Listen, my grandpa is 92 years old, smoking makes him happy and if he wants to smoke, I'm more than happy to help.
"But none of THAT was this guy's business so instead of saying something clever or snappy, I said 'sorry but I don’t think that's any of your f**king business.'"
After receiving a "look" from the cashier, the stranger allegedly replied: "Sorry. Jesus."
When the shopper recalled the story to their father, he said that "the dude was not being an a**hole but just trying to be friendly" - but the Redditor disagrees, stating that the stranger was "being invasive and gross".
After sharing their story with the Reddit community, people were left divided over who was in the wrong.
One person commented: "YTA [yes the a**hole] simply for dialing it up to 11 so fast.
"There's a way to tell someone to leave you alone without resorting to 'any of your f***ing business' type immaturity."
Other users believed both sides were in the wrong. One user typed: "ESH [everyone sucks here]. It wasn't his business, but you were overly hostile."
Another agreed, writing: "ESH. He was rude for saying what he said and you were rude for being snappy and swearing at him.
"Just wish people were generally nicer to each other. Someone says something like that to me, yeah they're being a but rude, but if they're not being aggressive or horrible, I just assume they're trying to come from a good place and I treat them that way, because what's the harm?"
However, many people sided with the poster, with one person writing: "I smoke and people tell me ALL THE TIME that it's bad for me.
"I usually respond with an over-exaggerated, 'really?!?! No one ever told me! Wow, this changes everything!"
Another said: "NTA. It's none of his business and he shouldn't be saying anything unless it's actively affecting him."
