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"

You've been Affected by something, not Effected, you enimal.

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

Chicago style pizza is not a style of pizza

It's a water heater, not a hot water heater, why would anyone want to heat water that's already hot?

Black and White Checkered Vans High Tops are not good shoes.

Businesses keeping bankers hours, especially banks, should stop immediately. How could it possibly be a good idea to only be open during the main times that no one has free time to run errands? Why do I have to use PTO to go to the mechanic, or the doctor? Why can't these places, which require you to visit them in person, be open during the days and hours during the week that people actually have time to visit them in person?

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!

Over cooking beef is sad, I'll make a medium or well steak if you ask me, but it hurts to do so

Skydive terminology. Its not a chute, dammit, it’s a canopy or a wing.

I will always choose to read stupidly spelled product or brand names exactly as written.

[–] Alph4d0g@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 7 months ago

The way too common misuse of the personal pronoun in the objective case. There are legitimate grammatical uses for "me" and the objective case is one of them. Learn it, kids.

[–] 58008@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

The use of apostrophe's to denote plural's need's to stop. I will dispatch a syphilitic spidermonkey to fuck your face in your sleep if you do that shit when talking to me.

I’ve always wanted to write a bot that replies to comments that say „I have no words” with a list of random words

Iced tea is just dirty leaf water.

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Anyway not anyways. I don’t care what the dictionary says. Anyways sounds backwoods, plural, and the “s” is pointless.

The little separator bars on the conveyor belts thingies at the cashier in a super market should always be placed for the person behind you. If the bozo in front of me wants to pay for my shit he can go right ahead.

Nuts only make sense in something that's already hard, like a cookie. It complements it by going from something hard-ish to another hard-ish texture.

Nuts in cake DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. I hate having to chew something smooth and spongy and suddenly - CRONCH. It's repulsive. 99% of the time it also tastes worse than the cake itself. If you actually want to put nuts on your damn cake, put it on the top so I can slide it off and eat it separately. Thank you.

Toilet paper over the top

[–] trijste@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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

The most pointless hill I will die on is the whole regardless, irregardless thing.

They mean the same thing, but irregardless is redundant. My friend uses that word purely because he knows it pisses me off.

[–] notnotmike@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I can only assume your friend is the one who downvoted you

Also, I say "irregardless" when I want to sound like the mobster from It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia
