There are certain unwritten and immutable rules all people must follow in order to ensure life goes smoothly and civilization doesn’t crumble. These rules aren’t written down anywhere—hence, ‘unwritten’—but are instead learned by (most) humans throughout the course of their early lives.
Except now, they ARE written down! Redditor u/SpareArm crowdsourced a bunch of them underneath an AskReddit post titled, “What is one “unwritten rule” you think everyone should know and follow?”
1.
If you borrow someone’s car… fill up the tank before you return it.

Buy a plunger before you need a plunger.

Pee first. No matter what it is, pee first.
4.
If you use up all of the toilet paper, you go refill it (this applies for the household).
5.
Don’t put your music on speakers when in a public space. It’s not like everyone wants the same genre or was in the mood for music. Get your headphones.

Do not swipe left or right if someone shows you a photo on their phone.

23.
“Do not vape when in a space where you are not permitted to smoke.
No, they aren’t comparable but the very same people who don’t want to breathe your smoke probably don’t want to breathe your vape either.”
24.
