1. Tapeworm diet: People consume tapeworms so that the parasite will consume nutrients from all of the food they eat, leaving them literally starving… but skinny!
2. Foot binding: The Chinese custom of wrapping feet tightly from birth to make them small, but deformed, in older age.
3. Neck stretching: South African tradition of wearing rings around the neck to stretch it out over many years.
4. Eyebrow threading: Flossing your eyebrows, especially in the middle of the mall, is not cool, people.
5. Eyebrow dyeing: Neither is dyeing them.
6. All piercing (including ears):Yeah, I said it. Take a step back and think about it as you weren?t totally culturally biased: You are stabbing a pointy object through your flesh. That is weird.
7. Wearing shoes: Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. I acknowledge that foot coverings in cold weather are practical, but why wear them in spring?
8. Color contacts: If you don?t have green eyes naturally, it?s probably because they would look really weird on you. Stick with what you?ve got.
9. Hair extensions: Just wait for it to grow out. Effortless and free are never the wrong decision.
10. Spray Tans: Yes, I too envy people with darker skin tones, but I don?t feel the need to darken my skin
