SE01 E05 Social Rules we follow but hate

from The world through my eyes · host Matt Fairhurst

We need to talk about the social rules nobody ever wrote down… but everyone somehow follows.You know the ones — fake polite conversations, awkward lifts, saying “you too” when it makes no sense, apologising for literally existing, loud bars where you pretend you can hear, and the unspoken law of queues (because yes, it is that deep).In this episode of The World Through My Eyes, Matt Fairhurst breaks down the everyday social nonsense we all quietly accept — unfiltered, unapologetic, and painfully relatable.If you’ve ever nodded along, cringed internally, or felt personally attacked in a friendly way… this one’s for you.Follow the pod, share it with someone who lives by these rules, and let’s talk about the ones that drive you mad.
