Shaming workmates when they go home on time. "Wow, you're going home on the dot?" "Yes Karen, cause I do my work fast so I can do my hobbies and go to the gym, while you rot away trying to impress the company that will never care about you."

People that take too serious their instagram/any social media account. I've heard friends saying things like: don't post the photo now! Wait til x hour to get more likes and girls to see it!

Older people using "respect your elders," as a cop-out to being shitty to younger family members and not being held accountable for it.

That you are supposed to be close to/loyal to family because they're family. My family, my mother especially, is abusive and manipulative. People say, "but it's your MOM, you only have one MOM." I say they don't act like family so I don't consider them family.

Overweight/obese children being considered "normal" or "healthy" by their parents who are blind to how unhealthy they're making their children.

Beauty pageants for kids

Telling people who are extremely happy over a new purchase why it’s shitty or why they shouldn’t have done it. I had a buddy who went from an old beat up pickup to a brand new Mazda 3. It looks amazing, is a manual, etc. One of our old friends harassed the living hell out of him telling him that it was a girls car, and that he should’ve just fixed up his old beater because it was more “manly” meanwhile this other guy is literally driving a car that is completely falling apart. My buddy looked so discouraged and sad. I did the best I could to tell him how awesome his car is, and how much better the technology is in it compared to my older Saab. This guy worked a ton of overtime saving as much as possible while working a barely higher than minimum wage job to get a decent down payment so he would have a nice monthly payment just to have his greatest accomplishment s**t all over. It is sickening.

If someone asks you a yes or no question and you say no then they try to persuade you and get hostile and then expect you to do it anyway. That's not a question but a demand. F**k those people.

Overly possessive significant others. Jealousy is not a sign of passion it's a sign of instability.

Being forced to work for free in order to keep your job.

People from work calling you on your day off.

Forcing somebody who is clearly sick to go to work/school. Like oh gee thanks for forcing your kid upon us, now we get to watch the plague rip through the school.

The idea you can't have a healthy romantic relationship unless you have fights. I don't mean like disagreements - I mean like full-on, screaming at each other, throwing stuff fights. I've had people literally tell me if you don't have fights like this with your partner, then you're hiding stuff from each other. Horrible, toxic fights don't equate to having an emotionally healthy relationship.

Belittling others to pump up your own self-esteem.

The idea that a woman's value is in her appearance, what's worse is that girls I know are more responsible for this than guys

Parents that want to be in control of their adult child's life. Notice I said adult child. Some parents want to continue to tell what their 18+ (or what ever age is consider an adult where you live) child to do. If they don't do what their parents say, the parents throws a temper tantrum and makes viscous threats towards the child. People need to stop acting like parents can't be extremely toxic and abusive people too. Living with artistic parents is absolute hell that gives the child various health and mental issues throughout their whole life.

I’ll probably get downvoted for this, but porn is extremely addictive, gives people unrealistic expectations of sex, and is reason why numerous people are forced into sex trafficking

Employers discouraging employees from discussing wages. Having to take on tens, or hundreds, of thousands of dollars of debt after highschool. I'm all for post secondary education being a normal part of adulthood, but not at the cost of potentially crippling debt.

Acting like there is something wrong with someone for being a virgin.

Telling men to "man up" and "not cry" because it's perceived as girly by whoever the f**k told them. It's the most unhealthy thing to tell a person that they shouldn't feel their emotions. Bottling that s**t up can only cause harm, anger, and resentment. Let people feel their feelings for f***s sake

I'm late, but Our alcohol culture, especially for young people. I feel like it's being normalized to over indulge in alcohol, to the point where I know alcoholics who think that what they do is what everybody does.

Teachers spending their own money on classroom supplies. Along with the mentality that if you aren't sacrificing your entire life "for the kids" that you aren't a good teacher.

American work culture. Working while sick, working overtime, poor work/life balance, etc...

Staying in abusive relationships, just because there isn’t physical abuse. “I put up with it because I love him.” You shouldn’t be put through torture because you love someone.

Unpaid internships

Debt, at least at the levels Americans take it on. Sometimes emergencies arise and there's no other option but continually spending money you don't have just to keep up appearances is extremely toxic.

Not sleeping adequately. I hate not keeping my sleeping routine on the weekends or not getting a full night of sleep (which means going to bed by 10:30 lol), but it seems like a lot of people around me brag about getting 4 hours of sleep a night or sleep at 3 or 4 in the morning on weekends. Not healthy!

THE SILENT TREATMENT. it's f*****g abusive. I don't mean 5 minutes of silence to collect your thoughts, I don't mean saying 'leave me alone', i mean pretending that your partner/child/friend just doesn't exist, and letting them crumple in on themselves for a crime that you *won't talk to them about*.

Anything vaguely labeled as "detoxes" or "cleanses". Take for example the Teamie cleanse teas. They are usually full of unhealthy diuretics and laxatives to encourage weight loss. They have been linked to drug induced liver damage and aren't regulated by the FDA. The worst part is they are receiving huge endorsements from celebrities. It's pretty easy to tell by the advertisement that the claims are pseudoscience b******t, but they marketed as health products. Call me crazy but something that can lead to high heart rate/ blood pressure, and vomiting, all just so you can s**t your brains out and lose some water weight isn't really a "health" product.

Advertising. At least in today's world. IMO, it's reached a point of being both toxic and unethical. Mainly telemarketing. The gov needs to start enforcing the laws.
