What's something you don't understand that people in your country do?

For me, the amount of people that buy gigantic still water bottles, tap water in Ireland is fine to drink or boil its not necessary to buy still water for cooking or drinking, the water I'm referring to that they buy, is no better in quality or taste than our tap water.

It seems like a totally ridiculous waste of money to me
