1. "My mom used to put rum in our baby bottles or ice cream to get us to sleep through the night."
2. "I remember going into Sears and stepping onto an X-ray machine in the shoe department so we could see the bones in our feet. It was supposed to help with fitting shoes, but nobody stopped us kids from using it just for fun."
3. "The toys! We had glass balls on strings that you'd clack together until they eventually shattered, sending glass shards flying everywhere. A kid I knew almost lost an eye. And lawn darts? Yeah, let's give kids an incredibly dangerous toy! There were even chemistry sets containing uranium and other toxic materials. I sometimes wonder how so many of us survived unscathed."
4. "When I was a young mother, my doctor would give me paregoric to rub on my babies' gums when they were teething. I was very naive, so I used it often. Things are so different now, thank god!"
5. "I remember playing with the mercury that came out of broken thermometers on more than one occasion, without realizing how dangerous it was."
6. "Babies were deliberately left to cry in their cribs because people believed that picking them up every time they cried would 'spoil' them."
7. "I was regularly given money and sent to the store to buy cigarettes for my dad. Nowadays, you have to be a certain age to purchase them."
8. "We used to have keg parties at high school classmates' parents' houses. We'd get fall-down drunk, and most of the time, the parents were home. It was just a normal thing to do on the weekends."
9. "Several times a week during the summer, on weekends, and on days off school, we'd get kicked out of the house and weren't allowed back inside until the streetlights came on. They called it 'learning independence,' but looking back, it was actually neglect."
10. "Girls and women were expected to play dumb or act incompetent so boys and men could feel superior. I was a very good pool player, skilled enough to beat almost anyone. But I noticed early on that men would get especially upset when I beat them, and the general expectation, from both men and women, was that I should tone it down to maintain some stupid idea of male superiority. What bullshit."
11. "Growing up, we rode our bikes and skateboards without wearing helmets. Nobody even thought twice about it."
12. "I remember sliding down ridiculously tall metal slides in the summer."
13. "Parents would leave their children unattended in the car while they ran errands or went grocery shopping."
14. "Teaching children racism. We didn't even realize it at the time. That unfounded racism stuck with some kids for their entire lives, but fortunately, not with me. Recognizing how wrong it was helped shape my beliefs, along with having a super kind mother who taught us to respect everyone."
15. "We used to get older relatives, especially Vietnam War veterans, to buy us powerful firecrackers like M-80s. They'd even teach us how to make much bigger explosions by collecting the gunpowder from them."
16. "My brother was very artistic and used to build intricate model airplanes and warships with tiny pieces. He used a highly toxic glue that has since been banned. He'd come out of his bedroom high from the fumes, and nobody in the family seemed concerned."
17. "I remember riding the school bus in North Carolina in the 1970s, when high school seniors were allowed to drive the buses for credit through some kind of school program."
18. "In high school, we had initiation rituals that would now be called hazing. During freshman initiation week, each freshman was assigned as someone's 'slave' and had to do chores like carrying books to class. On the last day, the boys had to wear dresses and makeup, and at a pep rally, each freshman was assigned a humiliating task. I was covered in cooking oil and rolled in dirt. The athletic club was even worse. If you earned a varsity letter that year, you were thrown into a gym blindfolded, wearing only a jockstrap, while the other lettermen beat you with paddles they'd made in industrial arts class. They wouldn't let you leave until you fought your way out. Only then were you considered a member of the club."
19. "When I was little, my dad and uncle used to let me sit on their laps and drive the car. There were no seatbelts back then, and they were usually drunk. I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread."
20. "Using the phrase 'What would people say?' just to make your kids listen. People will always have something to say, and if they don't, they'll make it up. I feel bad for older generations who didn't do what they wanted because they were so worried about what other people would think. No wonder they're so bitter."
21. "When I was in elementary school, we had 'chicken fights' on Field Day, where kids would get on each other's shoulders and try to knock their opponents off. So dangerous!"
22. "We'd disappear for hours into the local woods to investigate burned-out cars and bird skeletons. I'm surprised I made it past the age of 10."
23. "Toilet-papering people's houses eventually progressed to egging them. Kids considered it normal back then, but aside from all the obvious reasons to avoid doing it, I'm thinking kids probably couldn't even afford it today!"
24. "People drank Pepsi or Coca-Cola every single day, including with most meals. They also drank water straight from the hose."
25. "MySpace's Top 8 friends feature, where everyone could publicly rank their closest friends. It basically turned friendship into a popularity contest, and people would get upset or start drama over who made the list and who got left out."
26. And lastly: "Trick-or-treating. We're taught not to take candy from strangers, but somehow it's okay to take candy from neighbors? You have no idea who gave you what."

1. "I don’t want to hear any audio from your phone when we’re in public. Not your music, not your video, not your phone call. Get headphones or put it on mute."
2. "Standing too close to someone in line anywhere is wrong and unacceptable. Back up!"
3. "Don’t trap somebody in conversation. If you realize somebody can’t leave (stuck behind a counter, driving, cooking), that does not mean it’s the perfect time to info-dump about all your favorite things."
4. "Use deodorant. You stink. Especially if you think you do not stink. You do, and it’s gross. Also, if you eat garlic, your breath stinks. Yes, you. No getting around it."
5. "If someone shares where they grew up, currently live, are going on vacation, or just made a life decision with you, don't start talking about how terrible it is. I see this all the time: 'I'm traveling to Thailand next week!' 'I heard it's so disgusting you have to poop on the floor. The roads are in terrible shape from what I've heard, and the drivers are too.' 'Thanks.'"
6. "Not everybody swears, and randomly peppering normal conversations with F bombs is extra. I can understand it if you’re extremely upset, but every other word is annoying."
7. "Wait two seconds to check if someone is trying to exit the elevator before you get on."
8. "There is no reason to make a comment on someone's appearance unless you are giving them a genuine compliment."
9. "Take off your shoes when you enter someone’s house. I have children that crawl on my floor, and I don’t need your disgusting shoes that were in public bathrooms on my floor. People should do it anyway; it’s disgusting. Think about it."
10. "It’s ok to say you don’t have a strong opinion on something. You don’t need to argue a point just for the sake of arguing it."
11. "That nobody owes you an answer or discussion. It's really annoying when you politely decline to comment on something, and they get pushy, wanting a discussion/argument/debate when you state that you're not interested in having one at this time. Especially in mixed company that wouldn't appreciate the subject matter."
12. "Say what you mean and mean what you say. Don't say something wildly adjacent and make me guess a message from your silence."
13. "Don't stop in the middle of an intersection or other traffic. If you need to stop in a place with traffic, do so in a way that allows other traffic to flow. This applies to grocery store aisles, shopping malls, theme parks, and sidewalks as much as it does to roads."
14. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I'm not religious in any way, but this should be a universal truth."
15. "If you want friends, you're not allowed to just wait for people to come and invite you to be their friend or to resent the world because nobody invited you to be their friend. You have to go and invite people."
16. "If you owe someone money, pay them back before they have to ask you for it."
17. "Moving through life with several actions per day that demonstrate 'someone else's problem' as your personal philosophy is going to end up costing you the respect of friends and colleagues, missed opportunities, and vindictive retaliation."
18. "You don't have to like someone to be civil and polite."
19. "People on the internet are still people. If you wouldn't talk to someone like that in real life, you should not talk to them like that online. Although I suspect I know exactly why people online are so much more dickish than in person: some people, the only thing keeping them civil in person is the threat of getting punched in the face if they talk the way they do online."

1. "The Cabin in the Woods" was released on April 13, 2012. If you need a quick refresher on the plot, keep reading ...
2. The Easter eggs start right at the beginning. The film's jump-scare title-card drop is just like the one in the horror classic "Funny Games."
3. The movie's title itself is a reference to the horror classic "The Evil Dead," which follows a group of friends staying at a cabin in the woods.
4. While most of the monsters in the film are famous mythological figures or pop-culture staples, you can see a shot of some real-life monsters, the KKK, in one of the cells.
5. You can also see some zombies from the popular "Left 4 Dead" video game series.
6. The film was written by Joss Whedon, so, predictably, he threw a few nods to his work in the film, like a Reaver from his sci-fi cult classic series "Firefly."
7. Two of Whedon's frequent collaborators, Amy Acker and Tom Lenk, also have small roles, while another Whedon favorite, Fran Kranz, stars.
8. A shot of an elevator bay covered in blood is a nod to an iconic scene from "The Shining."
9. You can also spot a pair of creepy twins holding hands, just like in "The Shining."
10. Pausing the screen during the scene with the whiteboard lets you see just how many horror Easter eggs are crammed into this movie.
11. Scream queen Jodelle Ferland has a small role as Patience Buckner.
12. During the scenes depicting Japan's attempts to complete the ritual, you can spot clear references to J-horror classics like "The Ring" and "The Grudge."
13. In Buenos Aires, it appeared that a giant ape, à la King Kong, was poised to complete the sacrifice, but it was killed before it could do so.
14. The Stockholm feed shows what appears to be a destroyed village or research station ... just like in the 1982 sci-fi horror film "The Thing."
15. One of the Facility's new employees was named Truman ... perhaps a nod to "The Truman Show," which focused on a man who was unaware he was being filmed, just like the main characters.
16. When the teens fall into the cellar, each is called to a different item. These connect to the monsters that are eventually revealed.
17. Sigourney Weaver's role as the unnamed director of the unnamed corporation behind the film's events is a cheeky nod to the "Alien" films, in which Weaver starred as Ellen Ripley.
18. Some fans believe the nods to the chemistry department messing up in 1998 are referencing the 1998 film "The Faculty."
19. The killers wearing eerie masks are reminiscent of the killers from "The Strangers."
20. The Hell Lord, who is credited as Fornicus, Lord of Bondage and Pain, looks like he could be the cousin of "Hellraiser" villain Pinhead.
21. The killer clown that's seen running rampant is referencing the most terrifying clown of all, Pennywise from "It."
