Many things. Many of which I cannot put into words.

Posing and the whole idea of 'status'.

eg those sorts of people who think their £10,000 watch makes them some kind of superior person.

Why "most people" act like they have a moral right to be happy at all times and if they are not happy, someone must have violated their stupidass "rights"

Why people are so judgemental about things that are different from them.

Why so many people put emotions before logic.
Why some people just blame themselves for being not talented, without working hard.
Why not all people are interested in science.
Why some people insist of verbal communication when we can just read and type.
Why some people insist that communicating in real life is healthier than online communication.
Why some people hate technology.

I've never understood why some people say "That is unacceptable" when they are mad. :lol:

I think the phrase is used when they believe (often subjectively or emotionally) that your behavior breaks a social rule or causes too much disruption (not being disruptive is a social rule). Basically saying society does not accept that behavior as okay or desirable. So, for instance, telling your teacher she/he is an idiot is "unacceptable" because students are supposed to show respect to teachers, even if they don't deserve it. Or yelling during prayer at church would be "unacceptable" because the social rule in most churches is that you must be silent unless you are the one praying out loud.

But yes, it is usually a phrase used by the person with more power/authority (teacher, parent, etc), which I guess sort of makes sense, since they are the one enforcing the social rules in that situation.

I think NTs get a lot of the meaning from body language and tone of voice, which aren't included in written communication. And lots of them like hugs and stuff, which you also can't do chatting or posting online. Honestly, that's part of why I feel more open to share online...no one will try to hug me. *shudder*

I don't understand how you know when you are supposed to leave someone's house. Or get someone to leave your house without being rude.

I don't understand how people know when it is their turn to talk during a group conversation.

I don't understand how some people can stand to be around other people most/all of the day.

I don't understand how people can dislike or harm animals.

I don't understand murderers, rapists or paedophiles. But I don't think any sane person does.

I don't understand why some murderers are let out of prison, if there is enough evidence that they did murder, because there's a chance they could do it again and are a walking threat to the public. I believe that anyone who has deliberately murdered a person should be locked up until they die.
