What is a 'social rule' that we all follow but nobody ever actually agreed to? (lemmy.world)

Like how we all face the door in an elevator or feel the need to say 'ope' when we almost bump into someone. What’s a silent rule of society that you find hilarious or totally unnecessary?

Aw hell no. I trauma dump on everyone who asks me "How are you?"

No matter how many times I remind myself that this is performative NT dishonesty, I cannot make myself lie. If you ask a question, you should expect an honest answer. You will never convince me that it’s the “neurotypicals” who aren’t psychologically unwell.
