What being normal means? (Part 3)
1. Despising anything that was easy to achieve, because if no sacrifice was involved, it obviously isn’t worth having.
2. Following fashion trends, however ridiculous or uncomfortable.
3. Believing that all famous people have tons of money saved up.
4. Investing a lot of time and money in external beauty and caring little about inner beauty.
5. Using every means possible to show that, although you’re just an ordinary human being, you’re far above other mortals.
6. Never looking anyone in the eye when you’re traveling on public transport, in case it’s interpreted as a sign you’re trying to get off with them.
7. Standing facing the door in a lift and pretending you’re the only person there, regardless of how crowded it is.
8. Never laughing too loudly in a restaurant however good the joke.
9. In the northern hemisphere, always dressing according to the season: bare arms in Spring (however cold it is) and woolen jacket in Autumn (however hot it is)
10. In the southern hemisphere, covering the Christmas tree with fake show even though winter has nothing to do with the birth of Christ.
