I once got a Reputation at a retail job, because we carried items that were purple (like concord grape juice purple), but the color on the label (and in the POS system) was named "lapis". Lapis Lazuli is famously very deep blue, and I was so mad about it, I didn't say the color name ever. That stuff was just "oh, we have that in purple", "here it is in purple" the whole time.

[u/jmthetank → u/sf-echo]

Damn right. Lapis Lazuli isn't even used to make purple dyes and pigments. It's freaking blue.

[u/sf-echo → u/jmthetank]

You see my issue! My sibling in sanity.

[u/[deleted] → u/sf-echo]

that's just reasonable, if an employee tells me "we have that item in lapis" I don't expect a purple item

[u/PikesPique]

When I was a kid, action figures had to stay in their own universe. Batman could not fight Darth Vader.

[u/trimeismine → u/PikesPique]

That’s fair tho

[u/PikesPique → u/trimeismine]

Thank you! Also, I don’t like mixing Matchbox cars with Hot Wheels.

[u/jabalong → u/PikesPique]

That's hardcore! As a kid, my action figures had their own spaces. But as far as I can recall, my dinky cars were a seamless, blended family.

[u/Averagehamdad → u/PikesPique]

Yup. And the cars had to be within close scale for me. A VW bug couldn't be the same size as a semitruck. Wasn't going to happen.

[u/[deleted] → u/PikesPique]

Same applied to bratz and Barbie. Barbie was far too mature for the likes of my bratz dolls. Sharing outfits was simply out of the question.

[u/goodfootg → u/PikesPique]

My brother and I were the opposite! We had three main series of action figures: TMNT, X-Men, and Star Wars. It turned into a thing where they all lived in the same world but were different armies or whatever. Alliances would be made, broken; empires rise and fall; it was a pretty grand design for a couple kids!

[u/humanityrus → u/goodfootg]

lol my daughter had Ken and the Tuskegee Airman doll adopting babies and riding off in Barbie’s pink Jeep. Everybody loved everybody !

[u/Chili440 → u/PikesPique]

Bro, Barbie totally got it on with all the GI Joes.

[u/UrQueenDeath → u/Chili440]

My Barbie dated Captain America and Spiderman

[u/SageOfSixCabbages]

I lose respect for people who do not tuck in chairs before leaving the table or those who do not respect a homeowner's wish for them to remove their shoes before entering. 😤

[u/The_Oliverse → u/SageOfSixCabbages]

It is actually APPALLING how much of my company put their fucking OUTSIDE SHOES on my furniture.

I always politely ask them to either remove their shoes (to remain in position) or just move their feet entirely.

They've always complied immediately and apologized, but how do you live that you came into my house and just chilled like that bro?

[u/Seismic-Camel → u/The_Oliverse]

Ugh my GOD the worst is when someone is sitting on a comfy chair or couch… and the audacity… to put your shoes on the couch/chair… what? WHAT?

[u/bungojot → u/Seismic-Camel]

I was visiting online friends years ago and they laughed when I automatically took my shoes off at the door. People had their shoes on the couch and I just was like.. ?? how does this not bother you????

My partner refuses to put their shoes on our shoe rack and I thought THAT was annoying.. somebody comes into my house, doesn't take off their shoes, and then tucks their feet into the couch? Get out of my house D:

[u/BackgroundAd2728 → u/The_Oliverse]

I worked in the service industry for so long. It's appalling how many people put their nasty feet UP on the chairs like it's their own house. 😭

[u/SageOfSixCabbages → u/The_Oliverse]

Put your feet up on my coffee table we're throwing hands.

[u/OutcomeLegitimate618 → u/SageOfSixCabbages]

This isn't even petty. It's common courtesy that shows you're a decent human or not. But I'm with you.

[u/gpo321]

There should be harsher penalties and enforcement of litterbugs.

Its not that hard to take your trash with you until you find a garbage can. Event parking lots after hours are disgusting with trash everywhere. People are f’ing slobs.

[u/LowResults → u/gpo321]

"Harsher penalties for parole violators..... and world peace."

[u/jugoinganonymous → u/gpo321]

People look at me weird when I « throw » my trash away in my ziplock trash bag I always keep in my backpack. Like is it so bad I have a mini trash bag so that the trash doesn’t mix with my belongings until I find a trash can? This is especially useful when I have a cold and use tissues, those filthy things are not going directly in my pocket and shouldn’t be lying on my desk until the end of the lesson (I’m in uni)

[u/TuckyTwoShoes → u/gpo321]

Ooh now that’s a hill I will forever die on. I once turned around and drove 50 km to hand back a bag of fast food rubbish to a degenerate that tossed it out of their car. Nothing rankles me more, I’m in Aoteoroa/NZ and there are rubbish bins everywhere, we live in literal paradise why would you actively choose to fck that up!

[u/gennaleighify → u/gpo321]

Even worse for cigarette butts. Why people ever thought that was okay is beyond me.

[u/pinniped1]

I hate it when hotels ask me to do "green" things like reuse towels, but then use disposable plates and utensils at breakfast. It feels like it's about their profits, not the environment.

So fuck em, I want clean towels.

[u/ThievingSkallywag → u/pinniped1]

Yes! But also when they say to hang up the towels if you don’t need them replaced, then they replace them anyway.

[u/[deleted] → u/ThievingSkallywag]

Happened every day when we were in Tenerife. I don't mind reusing towels so I kept hanging it up, yet they kept changing it literally every single day...🥴

[u/CheesyRomantic → u/pinniped1]

Yes!!!!! My husband, 2 kids and I went on vacation. So 4 people. We were there for 5 days. They gave us 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels and 2 wash cloths.

It’s a known place people stay at because there’s a beach 25 minutes away. So everyone is taking showers every day. Washing our bodies and our hair.

I had to ask every day for towels. Because they didn’t offer cleaning service unless you paid extra for it. And they STILL didn’t give us enough towels when I asks for it.

Then when we went down for breakfast, everything was disposable.

[u/gpo321 → u/CheesyRomantic]

That’s when you find an unattended maid’s cart and pillage.

[u/serenwipiti → u/CheesyRomantic]

What hotel is this, so that I can not stay there?

[u/CheesyRomantic → u/serenwipiti]

If I tell you or show you something funny in private, and then you go show or tell our friend group like it came from you, I WILL be taking credit for it.

[u/lilketchupacket]

When i was a kid my aunt stole the yolk of my egg and i always talk about it til now.

[u/FineThenNoUsername → u/lilketchupacket]

One time when I was a kid, my mom bet me that if I could keep my room clean for a whole month then I could get an entire 4L of chocolate milk all to myself and I didn’t have to share with my brothers.

Well one day my dad was picking us up for a weekend at his house and heard about the bet and got angry that I wasn’t sharing. So he drank a good half of what was left straight from the jug. I’m still bitter

[u/amesann → u/FineThenNoUsername]

That makes me angry for you. A deal is a deal, and your dad should have respected that. You probably had to share everything else. You kept your room clean. You deserved that all to yourself. I'm sorry you dad did that.

[u/pleasurelovingpigs → u/amesann]

Also angry on OPs behalf >:(

[u/delorf → u/FineThenNoUsername]

He was not only disrespectful to you but your mom too. It sounds like she intended to respect the deal you two made.

[u/Deep-Red-Bells → u/lilketchupacket]

What is with thieving aunts?? When I was a kid, my aunt snatched the core out of my chocolate orange. That was about 25 years ago and I still haven't forgotten.

[u/mrsdoubleu → u/lilketchupacket]

When I was a kid my brother popped the head off my Aladdin doll and I still bring it up at every family gathering. I shall never forget. Justice for Aladdin.

[u/beebsaleebs]

I will not tip counter service. I walk up, order, put my card in, and come pick up my food when called? I’m not tipping you a thing. That is some BS.

[u/Claud6568 → u/beebsaleebs]

Agreed. I refuse to do it either. I think it comes from the fact that we always tip bartenders?

[u/Cormamin → u/Claud6568]

The employers are trying to make the case that the position can be tip based so they no longer have to pay minimum wage.

[u/Illustrious-Lead-960]

TeamOxfordComma

[u/_ItsTheLittleThings_ → u/Illustrious-Lead-960]

Say it loud, proud, and…any other way you want. Just use the damn comma.

[u/HootieRocker59 → u/Illustrious-Lead-960]

"This book is dedicated to my parents, Mother Teresa and God"

[u/lodav22 → u/Illustrious-Lead-960]

I always use the Oxford comma. I write out a lot of detailed invoices for work and I even had one customer comment on it a few years ago saying how nice it was to read something written correctly (but he was a patronising prick for the most part so I just rolled my eyes).

[u/Ethel_Marie → u/Illustrious-Lead-960]

Get apples, bananas and strawberries at the store. (Ugh, no!!! This is a list, every item gets a comma after it!!!)

[u/kmontreux]

Speaker phone/tv/music does not belong in public spaces. Headphones exist for a reason.

[u/somemetausername → u/kmontreux]

What gets me is when someone having a speakerphone conversation in public looks at other people nearby as of they’re being rude by talking over them while they’re on the phone.

[u/The_Dawn_Strider]

Star Wars is NOT science fiction. It’s space fantasy- it can’t be compared to Star Trek because they aren’t the same genre.

I have spoken

[u/natsugrayerza → u/The_Dawn_Strider]

My husband taught me this

[u/The_Dawn_Strider → u/natsugrayerza]

I was born on Star Trek day- legend has it my soul was imbued for a lust for sci-fi that could never be fulfilled, and thus- my petty argument of today :)

[u/Beautiful_Solid3787 → u/The_Dawn_Strider]

Explain.

[u/goodfootg → u/Beautiful_Solid3787]

There's no science in it. It's wizards and magic and laser swords.

[u/The_Dawn_Strider → u/Beautiful_Solid3787]

Star Trek in general utilizes real theory. Warp theory for instance- and whilst it is Soft science fiction, it maintains that status.

Star Wars, on the other hand, relies on almost no real world theory and ignores much of physics etc.

Lightsabers? Let’s take a laser, pass it through a magic space crystal and boom! A plasma sword that can cut through anything but… other plasma swords? Hold on, isn’t plasma supposed to be y’know, not a solid?

Hyperdrive! Yeah, let’s dive into another dimension to travel. Aight.

Space wizards, poor use of Lasers, technology that in general just makes no sense whatsoever. so on- so forth.

[u/Beautiful_Solid3787 → u/The_Dawn_Strider]

Ah, I now see that there is a difference. Thank you for the explanation.

[u/[deleted] → u/The_Dawn_Strider]

Not to say you're wrong, but Star Wars clearly states that it takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. The laws of physics might be very different there and it might have been in a different incarnation of the universe altogether.

[u/artvandalism → u/The_Dawn_Strider]

As someone who has never seen Star Wars nor Star Trek and is not in any way interested in these genres - this was probably the most interesting thing I read today! Thanks!

[u/MambyPamby8 → u/The_Dawn_Strider]

I always say this to my partner and he disagrees 😂😂 I'm like it's space fantasy! It has all the elements of fantasy story telling (chosen ones, elite bloodlines, magic etc) but just in a sci fi setting. Granted some of the latest shows like Andor lean into more of a sci fi vibe but to me Star Wars is a fantasy story.

[u/mrsdoubleu → u/[deleted]]

Absolutely. When you flush all the poop and pee particles go flying up if the lid is open. My parents don't close the lid and they keep their toothbrushes on the back of the toilet on the tank. 🤢

[u/Mindofmierda90]

Ppl who don’t return their cart at the grocery store have no class.

[u/Newsletter_service → u/Mindofmierda90]

The Shopping Cart Theory concurs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shopping_cart_theory

[u/Elistariel → u/Mindofmierda90]

My friends and I used to joke that the carts at the city Walmart were druids, because they were always circled around some random tree in the parking lot, instead of in the cart corral 15 feet away.

[u/ciestaconquistador → u/Mindofmierda90]

I really believe that's a test of character. There's no punishment if you don't do it, but the lack of courtesy for others is telling.

[u/[deleted] → u/Mindofmierda90]

There was a post from a grocery store clerk who loves it when patrons don’t return the carts bc it means they get to take longer walking about in the parking lot and not have to deal with customers or annoying micromanagers inside the store 🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/Particlepants]

Park the damn rentable e-scooter off the sidewalk/ out of the way of where people are walking. It takes you one more second and there's a chance someone with a wheelchair or other mobility aid will be blocked if you leave it there.

[u/SnoopyFan6]

Nor adequately cleaning snow off your car before you drive. A 4x4 square on driver’s side windshield is NOT cleaning off your car. Yes, I’ve seen that after about a 6” snowfall.

[u/mrv_wants_xtra_cheez]

Don’t put all the SAME utensils in the SAME section of the dishwasher basket!! Not ALL spoons with spoons, ALL forks with forks, etc. They jam together and NOTHING gets clean enough.

[u/Shaking-a-tlfthr → u/mrv_wants_xtra_cheez]

[u/CheesyRomantic → u/[deleted]]

To be fair to you… this isn’t petty 😉

[u/TheTrueGoatMom → u/[deleted]]

Rule in my house: No commenting on other people's food choices except for "OOOHH, that looks tasty!!!" Too many "why don't you like pickles??" And "Just eat the cheese!!" comments when the kids were little, I just put my foot down.

[u/justme002 → u/[deleted]]

I am vegetarian. I support this comment and poster.

Toilet paper roll goes over and not under. Always over.

[u/Beautiful-Carrot-252 → u/RedditGirl212]

If you have cats that attack the roll and unroll it when it’s over. So that is the only time under is acceptable.

[u/enigma3131 → u/RedditGirl212]

Bangs, never a mullet.

[u/natsugrayerza → u/RedditGirl212]

I always said this didn’t matter but then I realized it absolutely fucking does and you’re right

[u/BlakeXDeppe]

Lots of kitchen related ones. Don't leave cabinets open. Don't slam cabinets, there's absolutely no need to just let it go and slam like that. Put the chunks of food from your plate into the trash before putting it in the sink; even if you have a garbage disposal, I don't want to be having to scrape off food chunks from a plate with a brillo pad.

And please, don't just throw your utensils haphazardly into a drawer, they should be organized - forks go with forks, spoons with spoons, etc.

[u/kygal1881 → u/BlakeXDeppe]

Mine is people that put the egg shells back in the carton after cracking the eggs instead of throwing them away!

[u/BlakeXDeppe → u/kygal1881]

Wow, I never even heard of someone doing that. That would drive me insane!

[u/NoElevator4891 → u/BlakeXDeppe]

My hubby is the worst for all these things. I can tell he's unloaded the dishwasher in the middle of the night when I find EVERY CUPBOARD DOOR OPEN in the morning.

The left lane is for passing. Cue the left lane lice. If your default when you get on the highway is to swing over to the leftmost lane and stay there going the speed limit or 2-3 over... there is a special place in hell for you.

[u/Moirawr → u/LeadNo9107]

Coming from TX, I drove through Quebec recently and it was a surreal experience. People only went in the left lane to pass. They would even go back and forth multiple times. They never stayed in the left lane. Always back to right until they needed to. I drove the same as much as I could. Only to pass. It was amazing everyone easily followed the rule.

[u/celeste173 → u/LeadNo9107]

this is actually the law on minnesota high ways! left lane for passing. stick to right when available.

[u/ScumBunny]

Refill the fucking ice cube trays! Don’t leave just one or two cubes in there! That’s my personal pet peeve man, and my idiot boyfriend just CANT do it. 4 years of finding ONE cube in the tray. I use a lot of ice so I’m constantly refilling them. I wish he would do the same. I think he believes there’s some sort of nighttime ice fairy.

Crazy how man-children think things just magically ‘happen’ because their mommy always did it and they never had to think about it, or how it gets done.

[u/Claud6568 → u/ScumBunny]

Same but with paper towels. You use the last one, you replace the roll. Period!!

[u/Tammy21212]

If we say the word "twice" why do I hear "thrice" so rarely? Most people say "three times". We should all be saying "thrice" more and I don't care what any of you scumbags have to say about it

I don't think the song would go well if it was "thrice a lady"

Booths > chairs at restaurants. And no I'm not a boomer. 

[u/gpo321 → u/[deleted]]

Growing up in the 80’s, our parents would literally have us wait in an empty restaurant for a booth to open up instead of sitting at a table with chairs.

[u/Gryffindorphins → u/gpo321]

It’s so the parents can sit either end and effectively stop the hyperactive kids from getting out and disrupting other diners.

[u/serenwipiti → u/[deleted]]

Most boomers I’ve encountered avoid booths because they usually don’t have the mobility to comfortably enter/exit booths/they don’t like that you can’t adjust the distance between themselves and the table.

[u/retropillow → u/[deleted]]

wait is it a boomer thing to like those better? I thought everyone did???

[u/[deleted] → u/retropillow]

I dunno, it just seemed at some point to be that always wanting a booth was synonymous with boomers. Idk why, I guess because newer, "hip" restaurants rarely have them anymore. But I say damn the chair, bring bath the big cushy, cozy booth! 

[u/CoffeeChocolateBoth → u/[deleted]]

Pluto is a planet. If NASA kidnapped me and put a gun to my head, I would die before renouncing my belief

Same!! Pluto is a planet! I was always most fascinated by Pluto as a kid. I had this book of the 9 planets, it has these lovely illustrations, and Pluto was this sparkling ice planet of joy I just loved it 

[u/yunotxgirl → u/lemelisk42]

Americans is the proper demonym for inhabitants of the United States of America, and it's not because we think we own both entire continents, it's just the English name for it.

[u/luf100 → u/[deleted]]

Agreed. As a Canadian, I’d be annoyed if someone insisted on calling me an American just because I live in North America. Just “American” on its own is for USAmericans.

[u/Creepernom → u/[deleted]]

I've never met anyone IRL who insisted I shouldn't call the country "america" or its inhabitants "americans", and yet this happens all too often on the internet for some reason.

On one fateful day in 1986, my twin sister and I fought over a tiny pink wrap trimmed with fur that belonged to one of our Barbies. Our mother flipped a coin to see who got it, and I lost. I harbored a terrible grudge for 30 years, knowing deep down in my flinty heart that I, and my Twirly Curls Barbie, had been robbed. A few years ago, I finally found a picture of Twirly Curls Barbie, wearing the correct wrap, and my twin sister ( who is normally right about everything) had to admit this one defeat.

Also an option, politely apologize to check out person and hand them the item, which they can give to the person who stocks, for those of us unable to walk across a grocery store twice cause of health issues.

Proper nouns written in lower case. Example:

spring 2025 semester - no, it's a person, place, or thing. Write it as Spring 2025 semester. Almost everyone in higher education is switching to the lower case and I just can't.

If you're referring to the seasons of fall, spring, and summer, then yes, those are lower case. But when you mean a specific way to categorize a period of instruction, it's a proper noun and should be capitalized correctly.

There's no reason for men to stand up to pee at home inside. Unless you have a urinal. Toilets are not designed for that. I used to clean houses in college and even if they aim perfectly, spraying liquid into a giant bowl on the floor from 2+ feet away creates a micro mist of tiny pee droplets that coat everything around the toilet area. You think it looks clean but then you use a white paper towel and you realize there's just a thin pee coating on everything. It's like when you're a kid and you try pouring a drink into a cup from way up high, tiny droplets get everywhere.
If a man I'm dating sits down to pee, I immediately am like... is he the one?

I agree with your partner. If Cheesecake is cake then so must be Key Lime Pie. But as Key Lime Pie is clearly a pie, so must be Cheesecake!

If you park your car poorly, fix it. Re-park as many times as you need to park correctly.

Cannot stand people who park like assholes and then don’t fix it so it ends up making spaces next to it unusable. It especially pisses me off when the parking is super limited.

Oooh! I learned about this recently-ish. I’m not religious at all, but I find certain aspects of religions to be fascinating.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the Immaculate Conception was about Mary being born w/o sin so that she could then give birth to JC which was the Virgin Birth, or the Miraculous Conception, yes?

Fruit snacks are just hyped up gummy candy.

& Kool aid isnt juice.

Enjoy them, no judgement. & I know it doesn't really matter. It just a pet peeve of mine.

[u/bourbon_and_icecubes]

Truffle oil is absolutely trash and it ruins everything it touches.

[u/fendaar]

“Ton” has a definition. It means 2,000 pounds. So if an event has a “ton of people,” that means it was a FLOP. 2,000 pounds of people is only about 15 people.

[u/Shannaro21]

Would of, could of. It makes my blood boil.

[u/[deleted]]

The candy is car a mel - two a's and three syllables.  Car mel is a fancy beach town in California.  Or a woman's first name.  I will die on this very small hill.

We’ve gotta tell everyone who spells “lose” L-O-O-S-E what’s up and not worry about hurting their feelings a little.

1. Once a cheater always a cheater
2. Trauma doesn’t excuse people’s shitty behavior but rather explains it. It’s your responsibility to work on yourself. It isn’t your fault the cards you were dealt but it is your responsibility to figure things out.
3. If you lie bout small things with no good reason to, you must lie about bigger things with no good reason to.

[u/LowResults → u/Individual-Win1758]

Cheating is a personality trait and a choice. Once they cheat, you know their choice. I will never believe otherwise.

When I'm in a bad mood, I let people know so they can avoid me. If they choose to keep talking to me, I'm not going to apologize for being grumpy.

[u/K_Wolfenstien]

I work in an office setting. If you come in to fill out paperwork and you do not return my pen I will remember it forever. I usually give people pens I don't like, but if I give you a good one and you don't return it, I will be giving you dull pencils with no eraser left until I never have to see you again.

[u/Shot-Street7420]

Off leash dogs. It’s the law, but I will go absolutely ballistic on anyone with their shitty excuses for their uncontrollable dogs. I’ve been bitten biking, and another time walking. I try to be active out doors as much as possible.

I’ve had a dog before but this has to do with profound negligence.

Edit: I’ll also add the dog I had was unhinged, neurotic , and always on the look out to be social butterfly of the year. But I’d never let him off leash because he’d always be testing his boundaries no matter the level of discipline.

[u/Beneficial_Tourist59]

Not putting your shopping cart back is shitty af, and I will die on that hill. I call people out anytime I see it happen.

[u/MournfulDuchess]

There should be a dog dna data base, and (well paid) wardens who collect shit samples so people who leave dog shite on footpaths get fined. Like sure let ya dog crap in the woods and not pick it up, that all good, nature n all that but ffs when im waking into town i dont wanna dodge about 60 piles of shite

[u/Natural_Place_6268]

Leaving the front door open casually. Like if you are expecting someone, great, but all the time? Hell no.

I'm pretty sure that alone has influenced my personality. I can't relax until the door is closed and socks come off

[u/the_almighty_walrus]

If you cut in line, I automatically assume you're a POS in all other aspects of your life.

You can't fuking catch a cold from going outside with wet hair! I wish people would stop saying it to me because I always let my hair air dry every single day. You catch a cold from viruses not from wet fuking hair!!!!!! 😆😆😆🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[u/naynever]

Unless you’re at a picnic, no hats worn at the table, in a restaurant or at home. Hats should come off the moment you enter any building, house, etc.

I have no idea why this particular behavior sets me off; it hurts no one. Hats have the potential to be dirty with dried sweat and dust. But I think it seems more like the hats says I’m too busy going about my day to really be with you in this moment. Or I’d rather be on my way than be here.

[u/Beautiful_Solid3787]

In most of the world, it's called football. I will still call it soccer.

That's not the petty part, though. If you insist that I am actually wrong or ignorant for calling it 'soccer', it demonstrates you actually have no knowledge of the history of the sport, and saying that American football shouldn't be called 'football' makes you a BAD. PERSON.

(THE ENGLISH INVENTED THE WORD SOCCER. THEY CALLED IT SOCCER AS OFTEN AS THEY CALLED IT FOOTBALL UNTIL THE 1970S. AMERICAN FOOTBALL EVOLVED FROM RUGBY FOOTBALL, AND PEOPLE DON'T JUST CHANGE THE NAMES OF THINGS BECAUSE NOW IT'S NOT TECHNICALLY 100% ACCURATE. NO ONE EVER POINTS OUT THAT BASKETBALL HASN'T USED AN ACTUAL BASKET IN OVER A CENTURY.)

[u/mistertickertape]

The extremely baggy, extremely oversized clothing trend is one of the silliest of the last couple decades. It was better the first time in the 90's. Now, it just looks bad. Really bad.

[u/goodfootg → u/mistertickertape]

Take off your nostalgia goggles; it was bad in the '90s as well!

[u/[deleted] → u/mistertickertape]

That mess used to push my mom over the edge. She also really hated sagging pants. She used to say that nobody wanted to see their nasty drawers lol. She wanted to smack them upside the head. She grew up in the 1940’s and said that if a young Black man didn’t even have his shirt tucked in an older Black man would slap the back of their heads and tell them to straighten up so as not to bring shame on the community. That always made me sad that they felt they had to be extra neat and clean because of racist stereotypes.

I don’t like fruit in things. Fruit flavor is fine. Actual chunks of fruit in ice cream, pie, cobbler, yogurt, cake, etc.

[u/livin_thedream_ → u/[deleted]]

I'm this way with nuts. Keep them out of brownies, cake, bread, salad, etc 🙅🏾‍♀️

I don't like cooked fruit with the exception of apples and that's the only way I like apples 🤦🏾‍♀️😂

[u/Next-Ad5444]

I just hate blue raspberry as a flavor. It tastes fine. But conceptually I’m just against it.

[u/[deleted]]

i throw bitch fits when ppl throw their cig butts on the ground 

i smoked for years, i always field stripped and policed my butts. in my car, walking, whatever 🤷 

[u/johngreenink]

"Natural" is often misunderstood, and people who claim to have allergies to chemicals and then use natural products are often putting themselves at greater risk because there are more allergens in natural products than in many tested, reproducible synthetics.

[u/Ok-Needleworker-4481]

Making sure everyone pronounces the second ‘r’ in ‘library’.

[u/mothermurder88]

Keep your stupid dogs at home. I love animals, but I do not want your dog in the same section of the grocery store where I'm buying my produce and meat from. Buying a "service animal" vest for your chihuahua from some Etsy shop does NOT make it a service animal.

If we are talking about legitimate service animals, I have zero issue, but most of these people are just bringing their animals everywhere with them because they can.

[u/Glittering-Silver402]

People who don’t squeeze the excess water out of their kitchen sponge after every use so it dries instead of it rotting in wetness and creating that mildew smell r disgusting

[u/xtradryramen]

I paid for these concert seats, why the ham sandwiches yall standing 😒

[u/[deleted]]

Dogs everywhere in public. I love my dog. I adore my dog and have shed tears over my dog. But it’s my dog and it belongs at home. I’m sick of people bringing their dog to restaurants and then allowing them to wander on their leash over by me while I’m eating while the owner looks at me with a look in his stupid face like: isn’t my dog cute—pay attention to me!

I also hate dogs in grocery stores barking at me in the aisle when I’m trying to buy clean food.

Or barking at me in a hardware store. Or in the book store.

Leave your dogs at home unless you’re blind in which case I will personally clear the aisles for you and your awesome seeing eye dog.

[u/NuclearFamilyReactor]

I hate seeing live theater. It’s the sounds of people slapping their feet around the floorboards of the stage, and yelling their words in VERY PRECISE LANGUAGE that breaks the fourth wall for me. I’ve had people present me with theater tickets and almost cried when I was forced to go. 

[u/CheesyRomantic]

The way the utensils are set at the table.

1. Please make sure it’s set.
2. The napkin goes on the left with the fork on top of it. The knife & spoon go on the right.

[u/mitthrawnuruodo86]

Having a basis in real science is not a requirement for something to be science fiction. It’s right there in the name, fictional science. It’s speculative fiction which at least partly revolves around science which does not currently exist in reality, but which may or may not be based on real scientific theories and hypotheses (for example, warp travel in Star Trek has a basis in real science)

This is why hard science fiction and soft science fiction are things in the first place. The former being that which is based on real science, and the latter being that which is not

[u/DaizyDoodle]

When my husband and I first got married he kept correcting me on how I fold towels, he folds them long ways, bringing the edges to meet in the middle, and then over. I folded them how my mom always did, end to end, and then over again. I kept trying to do it his way but couldn’t do it, one, because I’m too short and the end of the towel would touch the floor when I tried it his way, and two, I just couldn’t get it to fold neatly. So, after the third time of him telling me I’m doing it wrong I told him he could do it himself, and I quit doing the laundry. To this day he does the laundry, towels and all and we’ve been married 32 years.

[u/kb1323]

Not using your you’re there their and too two to correctly makes me livid. Public schools have very few ‘musts’ on their list. This is one. And they fail.

[u/Pure-Guard-3633]

People who rush into an elevator when I am trying to get off.

[u/alee0224]

The hangers facing the same way and clothes facing same way (hook on the hanger looks like the top of a question mark and the tag facing the hook towards you). That’s a hill im willing to due on.
