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”

    When people say ‘I could care less’. I know what they mean, but it is absolutely not what they said. I hate it even more when I hear it in a song or a TV show/movie. That tells me it made its way past a whole slew of writers and editors. I hate it. It’s ‘I couldn’t care less’. COULDN’T!!! Like you care so little that you couldn’t care any less.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Natural scrolling is wrong. Mouse, touchpad, doesn’t matter, it’s wrong.

    Most people do not know the meaning of the word “Feminism/Feminist” and use it to describe crazy people on twitter…
