For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”

    The miss use of the term “billet”. As in “Made from Billet Aluminum to military specs” I have literally sourced metals from all over the world. Ain’t no one ever tried to sell me “billet” anything.

    A billet is an old term that was used when iron and steels were smelted and then poured in to either kind of a bread loaf mold or a round shape called a bloom. It would then be reheated at a later time and then formed into the final shape. No one would use “billet” or a “bloom” to make anything from it. It would have been “sponge” like and to soft to be useful for anything.

    Fecking sales trying to market to ignorant people with a term that doesn’t mean what anyone thinks it means.

    If something’s rate of hype is too fast for my internal meter, I will become immediately skeptical of the trend/show/etc. and not care about it, solely because everyone is caring about it too much and too fast.

    People should stop purchasing things from Nintendo. The literal worst company I’ve ever been a fan of.

    Romeo and Juliet is a comedy, not a tragedy.

    Two teenagers thinking their first crush is worth literally killing themselves in the dumbest scenario imaginable, I mean come on!

    replace ‘I purchased …’ with ‘I bought …’. Just something about the p word grates my nerves… Suspect it’s something like using the word ‘moist’ for some people. probably some forgotten trauma over something I bought.

    If it were supposed to be pronounced “jif” it would have been spelled that way, I don’t give two fucks what Stephen Wilhite said about it either.

    Load the goddamn plane by column, window seats to aisle seats, grouped by odd/even seat numbers and make people line up largest seat number to smallest. It takes an extra five minutes before you board the plane and saves you twenty or thirty. It wouldn’t even cost you the five if it was the standard.

    If someone offers you something you don’t want, simply say no thank you. Don’t say “no I don’t like that” as if you are 4.

    The reason I won’t get a Tesla has nothing to do with Musk or the car’s sketchy reliability.

    It has everything to do with the simple fact that I don’t like having my basic instruments over in the center console instead of in front of me.

    envy and jealousy are supposed to have different meanings, but idiots always use jealous when they mean envious. Annoys the fuck out of me.
