Just about everyone has some small act that they think only they perform. These acts might be born out of boredom, like making up songs about butts to sing to your dog. They might come from convenience, like using your extremely dextrous feet to pick stuff up. Or they might come from necessity, like tapping your fingers to the tune of "Sweet Child Of Mine" every time you see a picture of your Dad for some reason. Behaviors like these tend to make people think they're not normal, even though everyone does crap like this. Here's some stories of people realizing their roommates were actually crazy.

Kids are stupid people. We're not saying children's stupidity is their fault. Their brains just don't work too good. We've seen it in ourselves when we we kids, and we see it in them every day. They give us a lot of evidence and moments of failure that articulate exactly how poorly a young mind works. They learn though. Well, most of them anyway.
The human body is an amazing thing. It can heal itself, think really good, and it's one of the most persistent biological machines out there. Seriously, we run down our prey not with speed but with sheer willpower. That said, there are some definite design flaws in the human body that have caused a lot of us some major problems. The fact that one trip can send you to the hospital, or that choking is a thing. Anyway, here are some flaws people pointed out, as well as some possible improvements.
School is one of the first times in life that you realize you're in a vast system that you have little control over. When it comes to grading, some people play things by the book, don't even resort to incredibly creative cheating, and still get points taken off for a total BS reason. Most teachers are sensible people who have their students best interest in mind, but there are others who just want to see the future burn. Teachers can be incredibly weird like that.
When you get down to it, a hotel is a box filled with people. People who have wants, needs, and get themselves locked out naked more than you'd expect. People who work in hotels walk in on weird things all the time, so naturally sometimes weird things would walk in on them.
When it comes to pickup lines, it helps to be creative, but the key thing is gonna be "does this person actually think I'm attractive?" Almost no one is gonna respond to some overused hack "did you fall from heaven" line so it helps to be in the moment. Here are lines that worked for men and women. And for some field tests, here are some tinder wins and fails that ended in heartbreak and puns.
Here are some stories of shattered bones, huge scars, emergency room visits and missed life events due to mundane moments of idiocy. All these folks did was misstep, exert themselves too hard, forget to stretch, forget about their surroundings and what have you. People injure themselves in some incredibly dumb ways. You'd be amazed at what a poorly timed sneeze can do to you.
I mean, sure, you could PROBABLY use two clothes irons to construct a sort of jury-rigged panini press, but before you enact your brilliant new plan, think to yourself if you actually have to ruin your irons. Chances are it won't be worth the sandwich, but it would be worth this list. In life you'll see many questionable fixes, and while they may seem awesome in theory, there's usually a reason to do things the right way.
If there was ever a reason to pay attention in school, this would be it. You'd be surprised how many grown-ups don't know basic stuff like what pasta is made of or that submarines exist. There is no shortage pf people saying dumb things. Seriously, people hear some really goddamn dumb things. These people found themselves explaining really basic stuff to folks who either didn't do their homework or never paid attention in the first place.
To the uninitiated, the world is noisy as hell. There's all kinds of whirring and beeping and chirping. Often, deaf people are surprised to find that things make a sound. Then there are some things that deaf people don't expect to make a sound, like this kid who was shocked to learn that farts make a sound. When you think about it, it seems like the sun should make a sound, shouldn't it?
It's okay to have enjoyed high school. Many of us didn't. In fact we have tons of cringey high school memories that we regret. But it's alright to remember high school fondly. It's the folks who still think high school is important after 10 years who may need a reality check.
Just because you see something you don't like doesn't mean it's an emergency. 911 dispatchers get dumb calls all the time. Luckily they're there to sift through the people having a meltdown in traffic and grandmas who think the kids on their lawn are terrorists so cops can respond to actual crimes.
It's very possible to be popular in high school without also being a huge douche, but those two things aren't always mutually exclusive. Sometimes a popular kid does something that they think they can get away with and it backfires like the dickens. Usually it's some horrible lie or evil thing they they tried, and realize too late that people won't always have their back. Besides that, it's after high school when people really change (or don't).
While reading these, think hard about yourself and if you do any of these things. Like even if you think you were justified the last time you were late paying someone back. If you don't do any of this crap, then congratulations, you're free to judge the living shit out of everyone who partakes in these dick moves. If you do this stuff constantly, then it's possible that you're a trashy bastard, so watch out because someone might get petty revenge on you for your annoying ways.
There's probably something in your life that you regret doing. Not even something big. You might regret some small detail or behavior that you don't even do anymore. That's exactly the kind of thing a lot of us tend to remember when we're laying in bed in the dark, trying to sleep. It might have been an awkward date, or something that happened in 8th grade. Out of the darkness you just remember "Oh crap remember that time I farted in gym and that girl started to throw up?"
