14 Bizarre Human Behaviors That Are Hard to Understand for Most
In a society that values courtesy and empathy, we frequently encounter behaviors that can be deemed impolite or, at times, indicative of a considerable lack of awareness. In the midst of a vibrant discussion on a popular online forum, one user posed the question, “Which human behaviors will forever baffle you?” This inquiry prompted users from diverse backgrounds to share their perplexing encounters with rudeness, sparking contemplation on whether these individuals are intentionally discourteous, unaware, or perhaps a combination of both.
1. Keeping a Constant and Watchful Eye on Neighbors
A user commented, “People who need to watch what their neighbors do all the time! Find a better hobby!” Many agree, and someone else added an incident where his neighbor texted him to enjoy his Chick-fil-A that was just delivered. How creepy!
2. Getting Angry When Proven Wrong
Someone wrote, “The anger and indignity at being proven wrong but never changing your opinion.” Being wrong is bound to happen (and human); how we respond defines whether we’re rude and crazy or mindful.
3. Making Disgusting Messes in Public Spaces
Making a mess in public restrooms is just plain rude, yet some jerk always seems to be doing it. A user shares a story that takes this craziness a step further in a public space, “My wife worked at a tanning salon, and tanners would do the business in the trash cans in the room instead of walking five feet to the bathroom. When the staff removed the trash cans, they started doing it in the corner.” Gross!
4. Ignoring or Abusing Pets
A User stated, “People who get an animal and then intentionally neglect or abuse it. Like why. I’ve seen it all for years working in animal rescue, and it’s made me hate humans.”
“If you want a pet, inform yourself. And be realistic about it. Don’t get it if you can’t meet the animal’s needs. Dogs need walks. Hamsters are nocturnal. Birds, rabbits, and guinea pigs are not solitary. All animals could need vet treatment.” Another added.
5. The Unwillingness to Learn Things
Asking for the same help repeatedly without the effort to learn how to do it independently is infuriating and rude to most people. A person shared, “My sister is that way with technology. I understand not being interested in it, but it infuriates me when she always makes me turn on Bluetooth and connect headphones to her phone and refuses to learn 5 easy steps.”
6. Hurting Others for Entertainment
A user said, “People actively and fully aware of hurting others and feeling no regret, just satisfaction and fulfillment in ruining other’s lives.”
Another commented, “Being unnecessarily rude and condescending. Instant turn-off. No matter how bad your day is and whatever you are going through, you don’t have any right to take it out on others. Total obnoxious personalities.”
7. Talking on Speaker Phone in Public
Speaker phones or watching videos in public places are cringe-worthy. A person wrote, “Even better when arguing on speaker phone.” Use headphones, or wait until you get home, please!
8. Listening to Loud Music on a Speaker
Users shared that some people listen to loud music or watch videos without headphones, even in places like hospitals. A person stated, “I was at urgent care, and a young woman was watching videos at full volume in the waiting room. I was sitting there with a massive headache, waiting to take a strep test, and I couldn’t even say anything. Luckily, she got called after only a couple of minutes.”
9. Chronic Liars
According to a user, people who constantly lie to make themselves seem better or richer are beyond understanding.
“I have a family friend whose wife does this. They are in no way rich. Not poor, but not rich. The wife makes her husband buy her the most expensive designer clothes possible and gets pissed if it’s anything less,” Another added. Who’s truly living a lie here?
10. Being Rude to Service Workers
A comment said, “If someone is rude to service workers, it’s an immediate red flag! You can tell so much about someone’s character from that.” There’s no need to be rude to those keeping you fed, hydrated, etc.
11. Body Shaming
A person wrote, “People who can’t mind their own business when it comes to other people’s bodies.” No need to judge people based on their looks or weight; this is just mean.
12. Littering Behavior
Why do people even litter in this day and age? A user said, “I just picked up a fast food bag that someone had thrown on the ground at the park. It’s like they dumped it out and then threw the empty bag. What made it worse was the trash can was less than 3’ away. Will never understand such behavior.”
13. Celebrity and Politician Worship
Some people are taken aback when they follow the lives of celebrity and politicians, taking what they say and applying to their own lives at face value. So strange and rude when it results in not paying attention to those around you. Someone says, “This whole influencer concept actually makes me sick.”
14. Choosing a Phone Over Conversation
There’s nothing more annoying or rude than being glued to a phone while in the company of others. If you’re having a conversation, put the phone down and focusing on connecting!
