I love my lawn but grass that has to be maintained is kinda dumb.

I'm Spanish, so bullfighting would be a great one to get rid of. Tipping. Just pay the waiter/waitress a real wage and stop leaving that up to the customer. Any variation of "let's make animals fight". All those familiy vloggers. Exploiting their children en putting them on the internet for all the creeps to see. Celebrity idolatry. Expensive wedding and funerals, specially with funerals, that person is already dead. Smashing of the face on the birthday cake. 5 day working weeks. For Americans, Black Friday shopping. It's stupid, dangerous, selfish, and ruins Thanksgiving. Go spend time with your families while they're alive. Having women doing all of the kitchen work at parties and get togethers. Super extravagant and expensive weddings. Asking the father's permission to marry a woman. In this day and age, it's just creepy. Hazing in fraternities and sororities. Giving your kids the boot right when they turn 18.
