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.

      There’s one song that has that phrase that I think you’re okay with, Word Crimes by Weird Al:

      Like “I could care less”, that means you do care, at least a little

      it’s weird because i could care less implies that you have a base level of knowledge that you wish you didn’t have. But it also means that you could also just, care less than you currently do now, i hate that phrase.
