People Break Down Which Petty Opinion Hills They're Willing To Die On

People Break Down Which Petty Opinion Hills They're Willing To Die On

Let's face it: We all have petty opinions.

For example, I know I am rather anal-retentive about my cleaning. No one else does it the way I prefer the way I like it to be done so of course that means I'm stuck doing it myself.

You really can't trust most people to do it for you, and you'd be surprised how much I've sparred with friends over the possibility of hiring cleaning services. For one thing, as great as that would be, it's expensive. For another... would I actually be satisfied? How will they know except through osmosis that I prefer to load the dishwasher a certain way or have a specific way that I clean my air fryer?

The jury's out on that one, friends.

People shared their thoughts with us after Redditor shazulmonte asked the online community,

"What is the pettiest, silliest, most meaningless hill you are willing to die on?"

"I've said it before..."

"I've said it before and I'll say it again: we need better standardization of canned food can sizes. Also, the cans should all nest when stacked."

I see no lies. What's up with this?! We demand changes now!

"Classic rock..."

"Classic rock is a sub-genre of rock created between the mid-1960s through the early-to-mid-1980s; it is not a radio format for aging rock songs."

MinneapolisSpice

I can support this.

Just because Nirvana and Soundgarden are "old" now doesn't make them classic rock––they're grunge!

"The album for a live musical..."

"The album for a live musical is not a soundtrack - it's a cast recording."

kiwiwl

Don't ever say "soundtrack" around musical theater people. They will end you. Absolutely end you.

"I will not work..."

"I will not work for a company that doesn't post salary range in the job description or discuss salary in the first interview. You have my resume which is what I bring to the table. I deserve to know what you are offering upfront."

More people should take this stance. Searching for a job is hard enough!

"There is a conspiracy..."

"There is a conspiracy against me by a shadowy cabal to drive me insane by always making sure the screwdriver I find is never the kind I need at that moment."

erik316wtn

This might be true.

And who's to say I'm not a part of it?

"Most screen actors..."

"Most screen actors shouldn't be voice actors. Most of the time they suck at it and they're only there because they're a famous name and because the film industry takes animation less seriously. Even worse if it's a non-acting celebrity providing the voice work."

alkalineorion

I can co-sign this. I have heard so many bad voice acting jobs over the years. Meanwhile, the people who are actually good at this are pushed out of roles they'd absolutely nail.

"Your team..."

"You LOSE LOOSE change. Your team did not loose. You did not loose your wallet. You don’t have lose change. This is my Waterloo."

[deleted]

I agree with this! It is maddening. And it's everywhere online! Everywhere!

"Having any sound..."

"Having any sound coming from your phone over the speaker in public. TF is wrong with you? I don't need to hear your music OR your conversation!"

notherthrowaway1

The people who do this are monsters.

Utter monsters!

And yes, I will die on that hill.

"DNA testing..."

" DNA testing like ancestry.com is weird and if anyone's gonna test my DNA and add it to a database they should pay ME. Not the other way around."

ComfortableAd3492

Just one of many reasons why I haven't bothered with that. No way.

"... something that happens every day."

"Every day: something that happens every day."

"Everyday: ordinary, unremarkable."

[deleted]

Similarly: "apart" and "a part" are opposites. Opposites!

Why is this so difficult for so many people to understand?!

Face it.

We all have that topic we have strong opinions on, and sometimes, other people's disregard can drive us crazy. It turns out that that topic can be rather innocuous, relatively speaking.

What's that one topic for you? Feel free to tell us all about it in the comments section below!

Sean Hannity Roasted After Claiming His Friends In NYC Are 'Scared' After Mamdani's Win

AOC Has Democrats Applauding With Her Viral Reaction To Zohran Mamdani's Historic Win

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people nodding their heads after she opened up about why democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's win in the New York City mayoral election on Tuesday is so important for the country at large as well as for the future of the Democratic Party.

Mamdani successfully took on the establishment to become the first South Asian, first Muslim, and first millennial mayor-elect, running a campaign that focused predominantly on the city's affordability crisis and that successfully batted away racist and Islamophobic backlash from right-wingers who claimed his policies would "destroy" the city.

People Who Quit Their Jobs On Day One Reveal What Made Them Say 'Nope, Not Doing This'

Every now and then, simply because we need money, we might take a job that doesn't fulfill us in any way, but at least keeps our bank accounts happy.

Some jobs, however, are so soul-sucking that even with no other prospects immediately on the horizon, we can't, in good conscience, keep working them.
