16 ‘Unwritten Rules’ People Shared That Everyone Should Know

We’ve been in that situation where we wonder if we’re the only person who thinks like that. It is so annoying when the person that lent your stuff doesn’t know better to take good care of it. How is that college student borrowing a pen every single time they come to the lecture? Are they not annoyed at themselves?

But these are too trivial to talk about that people might think we’re just nitpicking things. All these trivial annoyances are gathered under the Reddit thread that began with the question, “What is one “unwritten rule” you think everyone should know and follow?”
