"Toxic" is a word we use to identify unacceptable behavior. And on paper, this creates a better world.

In reality, there are many toxic behaviors we just keep tolerating. And here is our roundup of the worst behaviors that are still socially acceptable.

1
People tend to give drunk people misbehaving a pass if they regularly do it, "Oh don't mind Tom, he's just drunk.” That just reinforces that toxic behavior.

2
The “customer is always right” attitude.

3
Verbally abusing minimum wage employees who don't make the rules. If I could change the laws tomorrow I'd encourage businesses to ban pieces of garbage like these that can't operate in public. The Starbucks barista shouldn't have to pay for your sh*tty attitude.

4
In the US, I'd say it's workplace bullying. And then the companies blame the victim and say things like, "Well, they just didn't fit in with the 'culture' here." I'm sure culture in some workplaces is important, but whenever I hear employers or recruiters talk about "culture" I just hear "abuse."

5
Smashing your spouse’s face into the wedding cake at your reception.

6
Not giving raises that AT LEAST keep up with inflation

7
Pretending that everyone has to be perfect 24/7. We can't have mistakes or bad days or just be an asshole without people grabbing their pitchforks.

8
Questioning people’s legitimate diagnoses as if you know more than their doctor

9
Pranking people disrespectfully

10
For your boss to contact you out of work hours for work reasons. Like, I’m not on your clock. You don't exist to me until Monday, bye.

11
Pressuring people into drinking with you because it's "socializing".

12
Shaming men for showing emotions.

13
Not caring how the dad is doing after pregnancy, I struggled with depression and no medical expert really gave a sh*t, brought it up and was met with eye rolls and "oh yeah it’s so hard for the dad" not saying it’s as hard but dads have emotions too

14
Constantly asking young people when they're having children

15
Humiliating your kids by making videos of you pranking/fooling them and then posting it online.

16
Overworking yourself and then collectively judging others who don't do the same

17
Burning yourself out for 'the hustle' and/ or 'the grind'

18
Influencers /social media and photoshopping the hell out of their bodies.

19
Taking your work with you on vacation. I mean if you enjoy working then that's your thing, but I get sick of people like going through paperwork and having meetings while on vacation. Like dude stop.

20
Expecting teenagers to know what they want to do with the rest of their lives.

21
Looking down on someone because of their job.

22
Deliberately misunderstanding what someone is saying so as to make it easier to argue with them

23
Oh my god, there’s this thing right now where some Latina women are like unashamed and calling themselves “tóxica”. They’re admitting their jealousy, their pettiness. And then there are guys, even calling their girlfriends toxic. “La tóxica de mi novia” but like it’s funny, like it’s cute and or just normal. I’ve seen SHIRTS labeled “tóxica”. It’s not cute. It needs to stop.
