View submission: What’s the weirdest “unwritten rule” everyone just follows?
Up until I was pregnant/had my baby no one talked to me in the elevator. I was caught off guard the first time a random guy asked me if I was pregnant with my first. We chatted all the way up to my doctors office. Now everyone chats to me/my baby whenever I have him with me. I actually really enjoy it.

This is almost an unspoken rule! I noticed the same things while I was pregnant and now with my nearly one year old I get stopped every time we go out. My daughter is super social and loves waving at strangers so I don’t have much of a choice lol

I had a big scary looking partner and he once said that no one ever talked to him in public until he started being out with our baby. All of a sudden he got friendly smiles, hellos and casual conversation.
