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 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.

If you keep correcting very minor grammatical mistakes when I am speaking, such as “you mean fewer, not less”, I will just stop talking to you entirely

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

People trying to stop an industrial war machine built on religious differences and racism by saying "I'm not voting for ______ until _____ happens" are ineffective idiots too stupid to understand the blatant bullshit they're peddling or the power they have in their vote.

If you want to change a politician's mind, you don't do it by dangling your vote on a carrot.

As I've said before, the distinction between countable and uncountable quantities is lost on most people nowadays. In my opinion, the rampant overuse of the word "amount" (instead of "number") is the clearest indicator of this problem.

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.

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.
