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 seventh planet from the sun should be called Caelus not Uranus. All the other planets get named after the Roman equivalent of their respective god, why should that one get special treatment just so people can make purile jokes.

    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.

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

    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.

    Canon is important to science fiction and comic book adaptations because the rules of those universes operate so wildly different from our own that it is important to put more work in keeping things consistent.

    The use of “whenever” in place of “when” has been on the rise and it drives me insane. It makes you sound fucking stupid.

    Standard wedding photography is set up to make photos look “old”. And it’s so hideous and awful. Most filters used for wedding photography look atrocious.

    Let major moments in time look like they were experienced at that time! I’m looking at you, black and white photograph from 2016. Artificially making something old, when at one time they were the present, gives so much incongruity to the experience.

    Let something as important as a wedding day look like it’s a product of that time. Not from decades previously.

    Stick to the side of the path your country drives on or at least move to that side if someones comming the otherway. I don’t get how this isn’t common knowledge but it also doesn’t matter all that much.

    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.
