A lot of people kiss their pets or non-human animals in general. I find that very weird. I understand that it is a sign of affection but it seems so off. One reason is that I doubt whether animals really understand this. Also it seems to be on a level of intimacy to me that I find weird sharing with a pet. Not necessarily romantically or sexually (that would be even more weird and wrong and probably illegal). But it is still “more”. I am not sure whether I can really explain why exactly I find that weird.

Anyway, what is something that is weird to you but not to most other people?

  • People being noisy on public transport.

    Loud talking, people playing audio on speakers, parents who don’t give a fuck about their ear-piercing screaming machines, etc…

    When I am on a train/tram/bus and, say, get a call, I’ll decline it and send the person a text stating that I can’t call right now as I am in a vehicle.

    Usually I can avoid noise by using first class. People there tend to talk far less, and they don’t bring kids there. That’s about all 1st class has to offer around here. Avoiding people.
    Oh, sometimes the 1st class can even be fairly empty. Like, 1 or 2 people in the carriage type empty. Especially nice with compartment carriages. That way I can be all alone. Which also means I can turn off lights and crank up AC in the compartment. Or open the window, which I’ll regret at the first screeching of brakes. Damn loud.

      The other day I found out that Deutsche Bahn allows small children in first class.

      It was not a good day.
