40 Of The Smallest Hills People Are Prepared To Die On, As Shared In This Online Group
When people don’t believe in facts, you can try to explain to them the science behind it, but you will not necessarily succeed and there is no point in arguing. People like to do that anyway. Sometimes it’s very important, such as when it comes to huge topics like vaccination, and it’s actually useful to make the other person see it your way, but other times it’s just small little things like usage of a word or food preference.
Even though these are small things when looking at the big picture, people are wholeheartedly convinced in them and we all probably have an opinion about an insignificant thing that doesn’t coincide with what the majority thinks. It actually reveals the way you think, so Reddit user FunWithAPorpoise asked people what are their smallest hills that they’ll die on.
This fun thread went a bit viral on Reddit with almost 34k upvotes and nearly 26k people got involved in the conversation, sometimes pointing out valid truths and in other cases making you want to argue with them.

Those new LED headlights should be banned. They might make the owner safer but not other drivers as they drive into f**king ditches because they were blinded by Klieg lights masquerading as car lights.

Speaker phone is not meant for using in public.

I hate this so much! It's so rude. No one cares about your conversation or your life. It's also rude to be on your phone while going through checkout at a store. Hangup and be courteous to the people waiting on you. If you can't do that stay home and browse Amazon ffs.

You should always use your signals when turning or changing lanes. If you don't, you're just lazy and the worst. Communicate what you plan to do with your screaming metal death trap before you are in the process of doing it!

Tall burgers completely nullify all the benefits of burgers, and are an abomination unto cuisine.
A good burger is the perfect portable food. It should be edible using only your hands and mouth,without cutlery, and without making too much mess.
You should also be able to sample every layer of ingredient in one bite, without dislocating your jaw

It always happens when people try to complicate a recipe...leave it simple, just the basics. Once it's done right it'll taste amazing.

Returning a shopping cart is not that hard. It's the least you can do when utilizing a service.
DennyS (denzoren) 2 years ago
This annoys me to no end. Walking through the car park and there are carts everywhere. The collection point isn't that far away people...geez.
#6
Tax should be included in the price with no exceptions.
DennyS (denzoren) 2 years ago
Also, was $9.99....now $9.99...what a great deal. This wasn't usually the custom here but I've begun to see some stores doing it and it is very annoying.
#7
Kids can be annoying. You’re allowed to think someone’s kid is annoying. You don’t have to tell the kid or their parents. But you can distance yourself if you want.
You don’t have to tolerate any kid if you don’t want to is what I’m getting at.
#8
It’s “couldn’t care less” and not “could care less”.. this shouldn’t even be a question but you’d be surprised how many people are willing to die on the could care less hill.
Nikki Sevven 2 years ago
One that annoys me..."Fewer" and "number of" are used with things that can be counted. "Less" and "amount of" are used with things that can be measured. Fewer calories and less fat. Number of people, but amount of water.
#9
mayonnaise and Miracle Whip are not interchangeable, they are drastically different.

Fantasy football is just DND for people who like sports. Dressing up to go the Stadium is sports cosplay.

I never thought about it this way but he's not wrong. Now I can't get the image of some guy in a yankees outfit going "I CAST BASEBALL WITH MY POWERFUL BAT OF BASEBALLING!!!" out of my head.

It's not a hot water heater. It's a water heater.
In real life I would never correct someone who says hot water heater when they're talking about their water heater, but it sure has been fun to do it here! Thanks for the awards and the most upvotes I've ever received and especially thanks for keeping this very important debate fun and civil!

I shouldn’t have to pay more for safety features in a car
K Miller 2 years ago
I saw a Tiktok yesterday that said a car company either already has started or is thinking about charging you a subscription fee to use features in your car, like heated seats... John Deere has something like this, a farmer buys a super expensive tractor but is not allowed to fix it themselves, it has to be taken to a licensed John Deere mechanic.

Carpet flooring in bathrooms trigger me :/ just don’t put a carpet in a bathroom. A bath mat is fine so you don’t slip when you get out the shower but not the whole carpet floor

Macaroons are not macarons. One has coconut, and one is a sandwich cookie.
Leo Domitrix 2 years ago
A thousand upvotes. The macaroon is awful. The macaron is, when done well, sublime. And I'd hardly rate it as a "sandwich cookie" like it's an Oreo. It's gorgeous and amazing and is not just a lot of coconut held together by sugar.

JAWS must not EVER be re-made, or retconned, or re-imagined, or re-anything. Ever.

There are about 100 films I feel the same way about. Please don't turn the Godfather into a musical on ABC. Or remake Apocalypse Now with Timothee Chalamet and Finn Wolfhard. No no no.

If you don't like being around others you're not "anti-social", you're asocial. Anti-social is the Joker.
Incredibly petty and meaningless but this always bothers me for some reason
Luther von Wolfen 2 years ago
I'm generally asocial, but large groups of people make me antisocial.

It’s espresso. Not expresso

Not all water is the same.
funkybluegirl 2 years ago
True. Not just for bottled water. Tap water in different cities tastes, completely different. I can't stand to drink the tap water in the city I am, currently, living.
#21
Freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese is better than store bought grated cheese and the difference is noticeable in the meal, especially in tacos
Ellie Rosser 2 years ago
Yep, store bought stuff is coated in crappy anti-caking agents to stop the pieces sticking together in the bag. Nasty.
#23
Frozen isn’t a Christmas or even a winter movie.
It is literally set in the summer, a big part of the plot is that everyone was unprepared for the summer freeze.
I will die on this hill.
Geeki Nikki 2 years ago
I feel this about the song from the sound of music "these are a few of my favorite things". It's not a Christmas song! Why do they play it every Christmas?!

It's more convenient to type something into Google than to say the words aloud to Alexa

Does anyone else get a weird anxiety when they have to do voice commands? Like...a sort of embarrassment?

Snakes are venomous, not poisonous
GirlFriday 2 years ago
If it bites you and you die, it was venomous. If you bite it and you die, it was poisonous.
#26
If it doesn't have shelves, drawers, or any storage space, it is a table. Not a desk!
#27
Greeters in shop entrances are annoying and unnecessary.
Just to clarify I’m from the UK so the American customer styles don’t work here very well since we are grumpy gooses. Our big stores (like supermarkets) don’t tend to have greeter anymore they will have security guards and customer service desks near by so you can ask questions. It’s the small shop that have them and they stand by the door watching you and jump on you the second you even look in the window.
Mark Fuller 2 years ago
Totally agree. Loiter outside the venue (especially restaurants), trying to entice me in and I WILL cross the road to avoid you and take my business elsewhere. It's weird, annoying and sometimes creepy.
#28
There is no need for people to say 7 am in the morning. The use of am let's us know its morning

Everyday and every day are different. And not interchangeable.
“An everyday walk in the park” vs “I walk in the park every day.”
M O'Connell 2 years ago
Why does the sign have quotation marks? And for that matter, punctuation.

Squeeze the air out of a ziploc bag before you put the bag in the fridge or freezer. I don't understand why my wife doesn't and one of these days I'll have a decision to make.
#31
Actual physical push buttons are way better than sensor buttons. (Like the xbox 360 sensor buttons)
I have recently been informed that they are called tactile buttons (physical) And haptic buttons (sensor) So thanks for the bit of knowledge and the awards!
#32
You can’t just go around calling every bean paste hummus.
Hummus contains (among other things) significant amounts of tahini, chickpeas, and olive oil. If it doesn’t contain these things, it is not hummus. I repeat, not hummus.
No, Ashley and Brayden from the juice bar, you don’t get to tell me that the white-bean-and-kale mush on that $13 veggie wrap is goddamn hummus.
#34
Mobile gaming is better when it's simple games like Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja.

The parents from Parent Trap are WAAAY worse than the parents from Home Alone.
Trophy Husband 2 years ago
The parents in home alone made an honest mistake. It shouldn't happen, but I'm sure it has happened IRL. The same parents in home alone 2 need to be investigated for neglect. By the third time, they probably need to be in a nursing home!

Sexy lyrics in a song does not make the song inherently sexy
Luther von Wolfen 2 years ago
I am so sick of sexy songs. Give me "The Sun Is A Mass Of Incandescent Gas" anyday.

Chronicles of Narnia should be read in the order they were written not the chronological order they are being published nowadays.

Sesame Oil is better than Truffle Oil, and it's not even close.
What do you think ?

No one knows the difference between lose and loose or choose and chose anymore. I don't correct people bc that's annoying but I don't understand how it's been lost.

People who want a 'vegan' interior on a car as they 'care' about the environment but don't mind driving at speed splattering other life forms on the front of the car.
Jessica Bertram 2 years ago
it's the caring about the environment while using plastic things and cynically calling them 'vegan' that gets to me. Use mushroom leather. or literally ANYTHING OTHER THAN FOSSIL FUELS, CHARISSE.
