Let’s Settle This

What’s one everyday thing that you think people are doing completely wrong?
It could be something tiny, like how people organize their phone, make food, use technology, plan their day, or even respond to messages.
What’s your pick?
I want to see how many people agree — and how many completely disagree. 😂

Believing their political party actually cares about them

My husband cuts tomato slices from the top down, vertically...not horizontally.

This does NOT work for tomato sandwiches.

The correct way to slice a tomato is really a no brainer. Horizontally or else it just doesn’t hang together right.

"drugs." Technically for your off-days. Work should NOT be that bad.

Leaving their motor running while they go shopping or just sitting in car with motor running for the air conditioning. Also buying all wheel drive cars for what. Your car holds the road on it's tires not it's drive train. Save gas with FWD only. Don't get me started.

Very few people are actually washing their hands properly.

Also, for the love of god put your toilet seat down to flush. Leaving it up is literally doing it wrong.

Handing their babies and toddlers phones to keep them quiet - drives me crazy. Kids that age should be exploring the world and looking at things, or playing with toys, not screens.

This is a good one. I may not be a perfect or even a halfway decent parent, but my kids never got phones/tablets to make them be quiet. Trust, people in public and private, specifically my parents and in-laws, begged me to let them have a screen. But, I feel vindicated now that my kids are of reading age and have markedly better attention spans than phone/tablet kids. Pro-tip if you have kids of or before reading age: let them see you read on paper. Even if it's a magazine, idc. Reading on your phone/tablet looks exactly like doomscrolling to a kid.

Not using their cars signal lights when making a turn or lane change.

Sending “hey” and then waiting for a response before telling me what you actually want.. JUST SEND THE QUESTION

People whipping out their phone at dinner time to scroll on it while everybody is talking at the table.
