What weird thing would you make socially acceptable if you could?

0:05.0

Asking a potential employer what the salary for a position is before jumping through 50 hoops with the application and interview process, only to find out it pays garbage.

0:15.0

Calling out customers for being rude. I had a job as a teller at a credit union back in college, and I'll always say the manager I had was one of the best I've ever worked with. I once had a lady who kept asking me for a new credit card and handed me her debit card. I looked on her account and said, There is no credit card. There's a debit card, which is what this is, but that's the only card on this account. I can issue you a new one with no problem, but if you want a

0:38.3

credit card, you'll have to fill out an application. She was adamant that what she had was in fact a credit card. No matter what I told her, she said it was a credit card and demanded a new one. At one point, she said, are you stupid or something? To which my manager overheard, pushed me out the way and said, you will not speak to him that way, and if you're going to continue behaving this way, you're going to have to leave. I won't tolerate you speaking to my employees like that. I wish more managers were like her. I'm a guy, and I get a lot of flack for complimenting people's clothing. I don't think it's weird, but apparently it means I must like men. If you've

1:11.5

got nice shoes, I'm going to say they're nice shoes. As a woman who's dating a man who's very

1:16.0

fashion-fought and compliments things like that constantly, I highly encourage this. Compliments from

1:21.0

women about your clothes is one thing, because we compliment everything and your dog, but from a man,

1:25.9

it just hits different. We should destroy the

1:29.6

thought that the customer is always right. Draping myself in velvet. Complimenting other men.

1:38.8

Being able to sit in silence with someone without it being awkward. People shouldn't feel

1:43.4

obligated to come up

1:44.4

with conversation, it makes interacting stressful. I don't believe in awkward silences. Talk

1:49.0

about something when it comes to you and conversations will always feel more real and interesting.

1:53.2

When you're able to sit in silence with someone comfortably, I feel it shows you enjoy their

1:57.1

company. Me and my best friends sometimes do this. We order food a lot and find a deserted

2:02.0

place, usually the roof of some building, and we just sit there eating. Most of the time we talk,

2:07.2

but those moments of tranquility and peace are really nice. Best friend I ever heard. We still don't

2:12.7

talk sometimes. The narrator is probably a lot of people's worst nightmare when it comes to not

2:17.0

being able to

2:17.5

hold silences. You know that insufferable person will wait less than 10 seconds into a comfortable

2:22.5

silence before asking a question to get the conversation started again? Hi, it's me. Being able to

2:29.1

be honest about how you feel without being bullied or belittled. Being able to just wave or say hi to people you
