As they say, “Tastes differ.” People can often have very diverse interests.
There are cases where these disagreements become stronger, with hundreds of people debating whether pineapples can be used to make pizza. These are a few stories from individuals who generally don’t share our tastes.
I see nothing wrong with an adult playing “Pretend” in the absence of children.
A grown man building with Legos and creating an epic journey that he imagines as something incredible is perfectly acceptable. Even for adults, it’s a wonderfully soothing form of escape. It encourages the imagination to create its own path where everything is as desired.
I wash my underwear next to my jeans and socks. Those who say that underwear should be washed separately are really incomprehensible to me. I use soap and hot water to wash them all.
My mother-in-law once caught me doing laundry.
She sighed and told me I was doing everything wrong. Fifteen minutes later, I walked into the bathroom to find that she had turned off the washing machine, removed my husband’s underwear, changed mine, and then turned it back on.
The other day a neighbor rang my doorbell but I didn’t answer as I was trying to get my son to take a nap. But then she texted my wife, “I see someone is home because you have an open garage.”
Why didn’t you answer My wife then texted me why didn’t I answer.
I will decide for any reason! This one was good, but maybe I’m dreaming. Maybe I’ll take a shower. Or in the backyard. It is my residence. You took the chance if I answered you, but I didn’t. Continue.
My wife thought it was rather odd that I declined offers to buy me a drink at her house when we first started dating. Gradually, I realized that it was acceptable not to desire something or to have an opinion. We continued to the mall where she wanted steak and I wanted sushi. We went to other restaurants and had great food that we both appreciated after agreeing to disagree. We just decided it was a great idea to enjoy things alone for a while; there was no argument or anything.
I adore rocking; even in my thirties, I find it amazing that I can easily launch myself 10-15 feet (or more) in the air with a few basic leg movements.
One day I was enjoying life on the swings in a relatively empty local park.
With her hands on her hips, Karen suddenly appeared with her two children and yelled at me, “What are you doing there? Swings should be used by children, not adults.” These swings were bought with tax money, and since there is no restriction, I can use them whenever and however I want.
With the cat for a walk. I was once yelled at by an older man who threatened to call the police because cats aren’t dogs and don’t go for walks.
When you wash your hands at someone’s house and you ask what towel to dry them with, it annoys me when they say, “Use any towel, it doesn’t matter.” It is significant. I refuse to use the towel you most likely used to wipe your body with to clean my hands. Why is it so hard to use a towel on just your hands?
I am visiting my friend. I asked her for two towels before I showered. She looked at me strangely.
I said, “One on the ass, one on the face.” “Boys have only ever asked me for one towel,” was her reply. Most guys never use a towel.”
I have a sofa bed instead of a bed. I also don’t think it’s necessary to fold the couch and store the sheets every day. I simply cover it like a normal bed. I hate having to store blankets in the cold. They are scattered all over the sofas and armchairs I own.
One evening I wrapped myself in a blanket as I curled up in a chair with a book.
The next morning I heard my mother muttering unfortunate things. At first, I didn’t know anything was wrong. She later found out that I had left the blanket and book in the chair and that pissed her off. She even followed me into the kitchen where I was working and didn’t leave until I pulled the blanket off the chair that I use exclusively.
I wish I could wear a sign that said, “I’m not interested in talking to anyone right now.” Nothing private.
Please ignore my existence. When I walk my dog, I try to do the next best thing by wearing big headphones and avoiding eye contact with anyone. This is meant to be a cue for you to say, “Please ignore me even though I know you. Don’t talk to me.” I’m content and in my own little universe.”
But I still get stopped by strangers who want to chat. I want to scream at them, “Are you blind? “Leave me alone, please!” But I’m a kind person. I’ll stop and talk to them. An official “Please don’t talk to me” sign is what society needs.
Eating as much food as you want at a gathering is socially inappropriate. People will give you weird looks when you help yourself to the available bowl of chips – not sure about other age groups. At least if you’re an adult. I’ve been to many college parties where for some reason no one ever touches the food because they feel embarrassed to be the first. Alternatively, they fear that if they consume more chips, others will perceive them as “fat”. It’s very stupid.
Transparent bra straps. A bra is just a piece of clothing, nothing more and nothing less than a man’s vest.
Why do you think it even matters if the straps are exposed or inside?

As they say, “Tastes vary,” and indeed, people often have very different interests and habits that may sometimes seem strange to others. Whether it’s the harmless indulgence of playing with Legos as an adult, the unconventional choice of walking the cat or simply swinging in the park well into adulthood, these differences make us unique. They challenge societal norms, encourage us to challenge the status quo, and occasionally provide perfect fodder for hilarious misunderstandings.
These stories reveal that there is no single “right” way to live. Everyone has their own set of preferences and comfort zones, and while they may clash, it’s important to recognize that these differences are a fundamental part of what it means to be human. By accepting these idiosyncrasies—whether in ourselves or in others—we can foster a more inclusive and understanding society in which personal choices are respected rather than condemned.
So, whether you’re the type to engage in animated debates about the legitimacy of pineapple on pizza, or you prefer to bask carefree in the sun, know that your preferences, however unusual, are valid. After all, it’s these little pranks that they do…
