There are tons of things in life that we didn’t get as kids that our parents told us, “When you’re older, you’ll understand.”
But, even still, as adults , there are things that make absolutely no sense to us still. And, truth be told, there are many things in life that truly just make zero sense . However, they just are the way that they are.

Why health insurance companies favor some products over others.
“My long-lasting insulin isn’t covered by my insurance. I have to get a coupon from the company to reduce the cost so I can afford it. My fast-acting insulin, however, is covered by my insurance.

Why people are the way that they are.
Others shared that they don’t understand how people can be “so horrible” and never grow out of it. Some people are bullies as children, but then as they get older, they can still be that way. How is it that they don’t grow out of these negative personas?
Why people still pay for cable.
Many argue that with all of the streaming services available and all of the inexpensive ways to access entertainment, it’s crazy that people still pay such high prices for cable. Some of those packages are so expensive that it can be more money than all the services combined.
The whole deal with license plates.
“License plates expiring
If the point of license plates is more or less to keep track of people and their vehicles, wouldn’t it make more sense to issue a new plate when someone gets a new car,” one person shared on Reddit.
The night news.

Marriage.
Others said they don’t understand the entire concept and ordeal of marriage.
Having to sign away your independence and your individuality just to prove that you love someone is a bit insane, according to some people online.
Taxes and billionaires.
“Why people are in favour of tax cuts for billionaires. The extra money doesn’t enhance the billionaires’ lives at all, and it can provide huge amounts of money for the rest of society to spend on health care etc.,” shared another one.
Homelessness in rich countries.
“First world countries having homeless people. I mean this is a developed country like the United states and yet I see beggars so frequently mostly in New York city. I don’t get it. Are they not working out of choice or they aren’t eligible for benefits,” someone else commented.
The way rent works.
“Why paying your rent doesn’t effect your credit unless you are behind. Like why can’t it give me something positive on my credit score? I’m on time every month, so why is it that the one time you are a few days late, it negatively effects your credit,” shared another user.
Overall, the vast majority of adults don’t get one thing.
The majority of people online shared that, overall, the one thing they still do not understand nor get as an adult is simple: taxes. Why we pay taxes, why we file them, and even how to file them.
Guess we still have some work to do!
