Everyone is always telling you what to get mad about. From childhood friends to the evening news, we are always hearing about "common" things to worry over.
In reality, most of these "common" things are super rare. Here are a few examples so you can stop being played (or at least stop screaming online).
1
Not Being allowed to say, "Merry Christmas"-u/MikoSkyns
2
"10 years old me thinking we'd need to know how to 'stop drop and roll' a lot more in life. -u/YeahILiftBro"
3
"If A, B or C gets built, my home value will drop!" Name one f*cking place in this entire country where home values have dropped from what they were 5 years ago. -u/Firree
4
"You can't talk about X or Y in movies/comedy/books/whatever anymore! "Nah, you can. Just do it well, and not from a place of laziness or straight-up genuine hate. There's plenty of art/entertainment dealing with taboo sh*t that gets put out just fine. -u/Jacceez
5
'Feminists' that want to kill all men. Just a way for misogynists to strawman feminism-u/gavinxylock
6
Getting the flu. Most of the time people just have a cold. Or any number of other respiratory viruses. But for some reason, everyone always thinks it's the flu.-u/Zookeepered
7
Homosexual molesting. I have heard too many heterosexual people saying “It’s okay if X person is gay, as long as they do nothing to me” like what the hell are they even thinking?!-u/nonameuser21
8
Being too _____ to be in a relationship. As a heavy-set woman, I've found there are plenty of people willing to date you as long as you have confidence.I hear people complain all the time, "I'm too short" "I'm too tall" "I'm too fat" "I'm too poor" GET OUT OF YOUR OWN HEADS PEOPLE! If I had a million dollars, I'd bet it all that someone out there is willing to do the horizontal tango with you.-u/Chombie_Mazing
9
The term gaslighting. Some people just suck at communicating and relationships-u/dgolia1
10
People throwing tantrums over being accidentally misgendered. The way it’s talked about on Reddit, you’d think that everyone gets yelled at by at least four non-binary people a day.-u/ARACHN0_C0MMUNISM
11
Men pretending to be women to get into women's bathrooms.-u/Mortlach78
12
Pretty much any social-political issue that’s on the news-u/sagieday
13
KidnappersI Remember thinking through hundreds of scenarios on how I would thwart their attempts to take me. It's kind of messed up but I remember being bummed I didn't get to scream like a banshee in the middle of a store lol This was as a naive kid, like all kids who want to be badass, now as a reasonable adult, I'm glad I never had to-u/Tamahii
14
People giving out edible pot for Halloween. Can guarantee that no stoner is gonna give those away for free-u/painfully--average

When I was a kid, I was led to believe being able to tell fool's gold from real gold would be a much more important skill than it actually was.-u/Lucky_Bluebird_4086
17
Your souffle not holding up.... I always thought that this was gonna be an actual problem as an adult. Still have yet to make a single souffle at 33...-u/Flaky_Sandwich9353

Being from Florida, the amount of people that think I have to fight off gators daily. Lol-u/kaybee666
22
I was bullied relentlessly in elementary school. But it took me longer to realize it than it should have because no one ever demanded my lunch money.-u/MFWicantusername

Satanists out sacrificing -u/finding_harmony
