This actually has to do more with thieves seeing how much you have, following you, and getting attacked for it later when no one is around. It also has to do with never trusting people who are with you. I actually HAVE had money disappear from my home after neighbors who visited frequently saw how much I had and where I kept it.



That's why you never tell anyone how much you keep in your home or how much you have in your safe.

So this thread is to list some "inappropriate" situations which you don't understand why its inappropriate.

I'll start with examples...

Why is it inappropriate...
-for someone waiting at the bus stop to start dancing and singing even though he/she is not doing it in front of people he/she knows?

It's not inappropriate. I've seen people singing, not too many dancing. They can be annoying if they can't sing too well.
Quote:
-to go jogging in a suit and briefcase? (how convenient!! Jogging to work!! Exercise!!)
I would go jogging in an evening gown, hose and a pair of high heels if it weren't so uncomfortable.
Quote:
-to do a sudden monologue in public?
I get lost in monologues and it's the one thing I do that people hate. People just don't like being lectured. I don't mind being lectured by others if they are talking about something I am interested in. I've always admired and been fascinated by know-it-all types who can tell me things. Some people tend to resent them so they won't tolerate them. Maybe it's like they are showing off or bragging or talking about something that doesn't arrouse interest?
Quote:
-to go jogging in long jeans? (I sometimes do that, I don't bother to change)
VERY uncomfortable! I have done this before and I hate the feeling of the denim pressing down on my upper legs. They get sweaty.
Quote:
-to do pushups in a school hallway while waiting for class to start?
I don't have a problem with people doing that. It's a healthy thing to do. Very productive. To me, it's no different from studying. It's another form of self improvement. Some people might object. because there's always someone who objects. You can't take a breath without someone objecting sometimes *shrugs*
Quote:
-to randomly start laughing while you're walking alone simply because you had this funny thought in your mind (some people would say the person is "high")

I've done that before. People never say anything when I do. My friends would ask me what's so funny. Sometimes, I tell them.

Quote:
Some of the things listed above are things I sometimes had the urge to do and I'm like, man, why did society make this to be a weird thing to do? I may think of more to post.
Nowaydays conventions are much more relaxed, so some of these examples aren't totally strange. The weirdest thing you can do nowadays is be alone most of the time. Nothing sends people into a tizzy like a loner.

I've always hung out with misfits and outcasts, so they wouldn't criticise a lot of these examples. They would groove along with whomever was singing, laugh with whomever was laughing. Jog with whomever was jogging.

It all depends on the crowd you are in.

We used to know a guy who was always singing the Prince song 1999 in public, only he would change the words. It's not uncommon for people to sing in public around here.

Oh dear god, LOL!! ! I just laughed my ass off at the idea of lobbing a cup of pop across a movie theater...

...and I still can't stop laughing. Damn.

I had a friend, also ASD, and we would go around in public singing all sorts of inappropriate songs.

Once at Christmas we changed the lyrics of 'Deck the Halls' to a version that went 'Deck the halls with Christians' viscera..'' and went around singing it in public. Happy days.

I've never understood why talking about death is inappropriate. We're all going to die.

I don't undersand why kneeling in my chair is inappropriate. I know that many adults are not flexible enough to sit with their butt on their feet, but I am. It's comfortable. I'm told it's inappropriate and unprofessional, but why?

I've sung loudly and in harmony on a train -- my friend and I got a standing ovation!

I've danced on a public street -- last Hallowe'en a group of us went to New Orleans and met up with some other friends. We were walking around the town, when one friend announced, "Disco Party!" and started chanting, "Disco disco disco, cool cool cool!" We all joined in the chant and proceeded to begin disco dancing on a busy street. Sure, people stared. Some laughed. On the other hand, a couple random guys began a beatbox, and a few people even joined in -- chanting, if not dancing. We did this several times over the weekend and it was fun every time.

I guess I just don't worry too much about what people think of me. I have found that if people give me a chance, they generally like me. If someone is too weired out by something I do to give me a chance, than they are a closed-minded person and no loss to me!

My most inappropriate moment in public was the ice in Arby's incident. I regretted it afterwards and felt so stupid for getting conned into it by one of my friends. Sometimes, it is beyond appropriation and something terrible can result, like what almost happened to me at the Arby's...getting a faceful of ketchup... I made the mistake once and never have again. Throwing ice is never a good idea, unless you are outside in a heatwave.

It isn't. There's no real reason for it. I find it a lot more comfortable than a sitting position, too.

Ugh, I need to get out of this thread or I'll get another attack of that 'I hate normal people and I want to destroy them' mood.

Do you really think anybody questions humanity or themselves when you do these things? They just think you are a jerk and continue on with their day.

Why is it inappropriate to discuss the Simpsons, South Park, and indie/foreign films in church?

Because the mood is supposed to be quiet and worshipful and reverent. You're supposed to be focusing solely on God. NTs are more willing to make exceptions for focusing on interpersonal relationships, which to them are very important.

Then again, at my church, we talk about fanfic and manga. Just not up in the Sanctuary.

One time I brought a copy of a National Inquirer into the gym of a church so I could do the crossword puzzle inside. I wonder if people who saw it thought it was inappropriate having a tabloid in the church's gym during a basketball game? I thought about it before I brought it inside but rationalized it was alright because it wasn't a church service and it was a gym, not an actual church.
Then I went even further. Once I was there in the gym with my aunt talking about various denominations and what I didn't like about certain ones. I don't know if that would have been thought of as inappropriate by anyone who might have heard it. Another time, in the same gym, someone I was talking to asked me what I thought of religion and I told him I wasn't that much of a believer. During childhood, that was considered blasphemy and I could get in serious trouble saying something like that in children's church. I don't know if it was appropriate discussing that there in the gym.
