10 Things That Make No Sense - But We Accept Anyway🤹♂️
Life is full of absurdities—things we just go along with even though they defy all logic. From tipping culture to daylight savings time, society seems to operate on a shared agreement that we’ll just smile, nod, and pretend these things are totally normal. But let’s break the silence. Here are 10 things that make absolutely no sense—but for some reason, we all accept them anyway.
1. Tipping Culture
Ah yes, tipping. Why do we pay extra for services that people are already being paid to perform? And why does the guilt hit hardest when the little iPad flips around, and the barista stares at you while you decide if making your $6 latte deserves another $2?
Why It Makes No Sense:
Why not just pay service workers a livable wage instead of making customers do financial gymnastics?
Why does tipping vary so much by country? (Ever tried tipping in Japan? Prepare for awkward refusals.)
2. Credit Scores
“Want to borrow money? First, prove you don’t need it.” The credit score system is basically the adult version of a trust fall—but instead of falling into someone’s arms, you fall into debt.
Why It Makes No Sense:
A late payment from 7 years ago can haunt you like a bad ex.
Closing a credit card hurts your score because… you’re too responsible?
The formula is so secretive that even experts just shrug and hope for the best.
3. Daylight Savings Time
Twice a year, we collectively agree to mess up everyone’s sleep schedule for no good reason. “Spring forward, fall back” sounds cute until you’re driving to work in the dark, questioning your life choices.
Why It Makes No Sense:
Originally meant to save energy, but studies show it doesn’t actually work anymore.
Farmers (often blamed for DST) don’t even like it.
Why are we still pretending this is necessary in 2025?
4. The Price of Bottled Water
We’re literally paying for water. WATER. The thing that falls from the sky and comes out of taps for (almost) free. Yet somehow, paying $3 for “artisanal spring water” in a plastic bottle feels normal.
Why It Makes No Sense:
It’s 1000x the price of tap water and often the exact same thing in a fancier package.
Why does “alkaline” or “purified” make it taste the same but sound more expensive?
5. Streaming Service Overload
“Cut the cord,” they said. “It’ll be cheaper,” they said. Now you’re subscribed to 7 different streaming platforms, paying more than cable ever cost, and half the time you can’t find what you want to watch.
Why It Makes No Sense:
Why can’t one service just have everything? (Looking at you, Disney+ and Netflix.)
The “new” season you’ve been waiting for? It’s on a platform you didn’t even know existed.
6. “Convenience Fees”
Oh, so you want me to pay extra for the convenience of doing all the work myself online? Whether it’s concert tickets or paying your bills, these fees are the ultimate slap in the face.
Why It Makes No Sense:
You’re charging me extra for using a system that saves you time and money?
How is this legal, and why are we all okay with it?
7. College Textbook Prices
College tuition is bad enough, but then they hit you with a $300 textbook… that you’ll only use once. And don’t even think about buying a used copy because this edition has two new sentences.
Why It Makes No Sense:
Most of the “new editions” are just rearranged paragraphs.
Why do professors require books they wrote themselves? Double-dipping much?
8. “Shrinkflation”
You’re not imagining it—your favorite snacks really are smaller than they used to be. And no, it’s not because your hands got bigger. Shrinkflation is when companies reduce product sizes but keep the price the same (or higher).
Why It Makes No Sense:
Why are chip bags 70% air?
How did a “family-sized” box of cereal become single-serve?
9. Influencer Culture
We used to idolize astronauts and scientists. Now, we’re giving millions of followers to people whose biggest accomplishment is being hot on Instagram. And somehow, they’re the ones living in mansions while the rest of us struggle to pay rent.
Why It Makes No Sense:
Why do we buy $40 candles just because someone we don’t know said it “smells like confidence”?
Why do influencers get free stuff… even though they can already afford it?
10. Luxury Brands Selling Ugly Stuff
Why are we spending thousands of dollars on stuff that looks like it came from a middle school art project? Balenciaga sells $1,500 trash bags. Gucci made dirty sneakers that cost $870. And Crocs, well… they just exist.
Why It Makes No Sense:
The more absurd it looks, the higher the price tag.
Who decided that expensive = fashionable?
Conclusion
We’re all guilty of going along with things that make zero sense because, well, that’s just how the world works. But maybe it’s time to start asking questions—or at least laughing at the absurdity of it all.
