Like how we all face the door in an elevator or feel the need to say ‘ope’ when we almost bump into someone. What’s a silent rule of society that you find hilarious or totally unnecessary?

    Hands clasped behind the back means, “just looking”. Seems pretty universal. People do this in stores all the time.

      I did this during the entire training day of one of my first jobs, and at the end my boss asked me if I’d ever been in the ROTC. I said no, having no clue what it was, until I looked it up later at home.

      The job was BOH at a pizza joint 🫠

      Honestly I do this because I like to fidget and I’m afraid I’ll reach out to grab something I’m not supposed to.
