Dancing with both hands in the air is supposedly a sign you're old now. Gen Z'ers claim it's something they don't do.
Some guy who looks like he's maybe mid-30s posted a video after a woman who's younger called him out for it.
They were dancing at a club. She said she could tell he was older, because his go-to move was dancing with both hands up, and his elbows slightly bent.
It's even more egregious if you clap first, apparently. And if your palms face up like you're about to "raise the roof," you're DEFINITELY old.
He said once she pointed it out, he realized it's how his MOM dances. So he suddenly felt like he was way too old to be at a club.

Some guy got arrested for trying to climb the Eiffel Tower on Thursday. An eyewitness said he had a sign that read, "Free Billie Eilish". (A guy with a similar sign got arrested in April after scaling a news tower in L.A.)
Firefighters helped him down, so he wasn't hurt. And here's a fun twist: His stunt ended up leading to a surprise proposal.
All the stairwells were shut down while they dealt with the climber, so a bunch of tourists were stuck at the top. One of them was a guy from D.C. named Amir Khan, who was there with his girlfriend.
He'd been planning to propose later that night, but decided it was meant to be. She said yes.

Doing Halloween at WORK this year?
Some companies encourage it, some don't. Just keep it classy and don't get yourself FIRED. Here are four Halloween rules for work, according to etiquette experts . . .
1. Avoid costumes that might be offensive. The standard is higher at work, so don't take any chances. Steer clear of these four things for sure: Religion . . . politics . . . cultural stereotypes . . . and anything that shows too much skin.
2. Don't be unprofessional. Meaning don't go TOO nuts. Halloween is a holiday where we tend to cut loose a little. Just don't do anything you'll regret. You might seem like you don't have great judgement or self-control.
3. Decorate with taste. Things like fake spider webs on your desk are fine if your company is okay with it. Just be careful about too much blood and gore, or anything that might annoy people. Like a decoration that plays a spooky sound effect every time someone walks past your desk.
4. Don't let your candy bowl get the whole office sick. Individually wrapped stuff is best in general. You don't want 20 people reaching their dirty hands into a loose bowl of candy corn.

During yesterday's Los Angeles Chargers - Kansas City Chiefs game, CBS aired a Taylor Swift-inspired graphic to show how well Travis Kelce does when she's in attendance.
Inspired by Taylor's song, "You Belong with Me", the graphic was called "You Belong with Te This Season".
Apparently, Travis averages 99 yards per game when Taylor's in the house . . . but only 46.5 when he's, quote, "Left to His Own Devices". (Last night, with Taylor watching, he had 179 yards.)
In related news, it looks like Taylor and Brittany Mahomes already have a special handshake.
