Holiday Traditions

One user commented, “For Americans, Black Friday shopping. It’s stupid, dangerous, selfish, and ruins Thanksgiving. Spend time with your families while they’re alive.”

A second user replied, “Buying Christmas presents. I hate the pressure. I don’t want you to buy me anything, don’t buy me anything. And if you are married, you are now buying for TWO families. Christmas is a capitalism scam. “Oh, you didn’t buy them anything. Is it because you don’t love them?”

Gender-Related Traditions

A popular comment was, “Gender reveal parties.”

Another most-liked comment said, “Having women doing all of the kitchen work at parties and get-togethers.”

Entertainment Traditions

Cultural Practices

One user replied, “I have an Indian friend whose parents basically just sent his wife here from India and said you’re marrying her a couple of years ago. I don’t understand it at all, but I think they do it like a business deal back at home.”

Family Traditions

Family being silly

One most-liked comment was, “Using the same first names down through generations of boys. Isn’t carrying on the surname enough?!”

Country Traditions

An annoyed Redditor replied, “Changing the damn clocks twice a year. Just keep one time.”

A second Redditor added, “The US political party system.”

Gift-Giving Traditions

An annoyed user replied, “Bridal showers. They used to be relevant when people were getting married at 18, and they needed the basics to move out and start their lives. Katie, you’re 30. Buy your own silly Kitchen Aid.”

Funeral or Mourning Traditions

A Redditor replied, “Tipping. Just pay the waiter/waitress a real wage and stop leaving that up to the customer.”

Another Redditor added, “Presenteeism at work. Even now, I have colleagues coming in when they’re sick.”

Social Etiquette or Customs

Religious Traditions

One Redditor replied, “Baptizing children (they aren’t old enough to choose to commit to any religion for themselves).”

A second Redditor commented, “Using holy books to create laws.”

Animal-Related Traditions

A user commented, “Any variation of “let’s make animals fight.”

Another user added, “I’m Spanish, so bullfighting would be a great one to get rid of.”

One Redditor wrote, “Bachelor and Bachelorette parties that are there to celebrate “your last day of freedom” And also they’re weirdly s****al sometimes with the phallic-shaped things or strippers. I’d be pissed if MY husband was MOURNING what he could have had on the night before our wedding by ogling some half-naked chick.”

Finally, a Redditor said, “Over the top first birthday parties. The baby will not care or even remember any of it.”
