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"

If you’ve ever had a cat sit in front of a toilet paper roll and spin it, you will appreciate having the open end toward the wall so it doesn't fully unravel

If you regularly use 3rd party food delivery services and you're not disabled you're the reason restaurant food quality has gone to shit and I will call you out on it.

You've made it clear you're willing to pay twice as much for a shittier product and these businesses have heard you loud and clear.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?

The answer is unequivocally "NO".

A sound is not a sound until it vibrates the listeners eardrums. Before that it's just a pressure wave. Ergo, if no eardrums are around, there is no sound...

When saying "Next" in reference to a time "Next" means the soonest occurrence of that. Don't skip one. If today is friday and I say "Next Saturday", that is tomorrow, not 8 days from now.

Using 12 AM or 12 PM is useless. Midnight is both and noon is neither.

The saying "hindsight is 20/20" is stupid. 20/20 is average. As someone with better than 20/20, my hindsight would be worse than normal.

That my wife HAS to dust off her feet before getting in bed. Dirty bed? Go fudge yourself!

The paperclip character from Microsoft Office is called Clippit, not Clippy.

Fahrenheit is a better measurement for ancient human temperature.

Loose and lose bother me. When I see these words used incorrectly, I become mildly irritated.

I figuratively would of had fewer of a reaction if less persons made that missed steak… literally.

If you can't scan your groceries at self check out under 3 minutes go to a register when it's busy. You're people are holding the rest of us up. I can scan a full cart faster than some can scan their 10 items.
