Yes.

Is this polarizing? Sounds like common sense to me.

I get ops sentiment and agree personally. But that's up to Nepal.

That's not upopular

The person is not wrong - studies have shown that bathing/showering too often actually just moves the bacteria on your skin around.

This one should definitely be higher! I'm not a guy but I agree

Pubbing not clubbing!

Lol, till 2018?! You sweet innocent child, the internet has *always* had a dark side. Source: I've been online since Jesus was a pup.

When people snicker "1st world problem" because you have the basic necessities but still have actual problems, I want to yeet them somewhere.

I’m mostly having a problem with the adults having their children try to get the ball.

This.

Bad grammar and poor spelling always makes someone seem not very intelligent. I think it's because people don't seem to read much anymore. I'm talking about people who have English as a first language here.

Plus you're giving your money to Elon, which is just a waste.

Where does this person live? Here in Mzansi (South Africa) it's sunny 95% of the time. I get depressed when it's winter and too dark. We need the sun for our mental health.

Depends on circumstance. Yielding during heavy traffic so someone can go ahead in the perpendicular/opposite direction is completely acceptable.

Honestly, a LOT of public places need to calm down with music. I understand having some soft background music so it's not dead quiet/fun for the people who are working, but I do not need radio blasting in my ears when looking at bread in the supermarket

Dunno, having a "frog cam" during basketball games would probably still be more interesting than watching people pretend to ride on brooms 🤷🏼‍♂️

Also... kids get sick. So do adults. How are adults in a corporate culture going to stand up for their rights and take time off when sick (sorry, idk if getting PAID sick days is a usual thing in the US, but you should still not have to work when you're spreading lurgy) if you don't learn to do it as a kid?

Met my wife at work 12 years ago. It happens to millions of people, it's just the way it goes. They'll do what they can to prevent it, but as long as work is integrated between the sexes it will surely happen forever and that's just fine with me.

I don't understand both things. Both are a waste of time in my (unpopular) opinion.

And Big Bang Theory ain't no gem either.

I have a good friend who's been participating in kickboxing since he was like 13 and hits the gym on a regular basis. Most buff guy I know, but still far away from Arnold Schwarzenegger or anyone like that. Peak physical condition doesn't look the way the movies make it seem.

I feel the same about the “Alabama is where everybody f***s their sisters hurr hurr hurrrrrrr” joke. Its not funny nor is it anywhere near true.

A Tragedeigh.

I used to tell my students on the first day of class "If I mispronounce your name, correct me. If I continue to mispronounce it, don't say to yourself 'I'm no one and nothing to him." Say to yourself "He's old and stupid.' and keep correcting me."

I am a college teacher. Three years ago I had a new student with a foreign name that I wasn’t quite sure of how to pronounce, so I asked him. He got annoyed and didn’t want to say. So I decided to go for what I figured it was. He was stuck with that for the entire 3-year course. At graduation I heard his mother say his name, and it wasn’t even hard. Little sucker could have had everyone say it right all along, but he just refused. Truth be told, that was only a minor issue we had with him …

I had a patient get mad at me because I pronounced his name (Jesus) the American way, with a "J" sound, instead of the "H" sound. Guy had his wife call and yell at my manager. Bro, I grew up in the middle of nowhere and had just moved to a city that had a bunch of Mexicans, I had never even heard of someone having the name Jesus, give me a break.

It's fine the first time, but after that I'll be pissed because they clearly didn't bother to listen. And as for spelling name wrong in formal/work emails when it was right there in the last email is my pet peeve.

I don't get mad t people when they mispronounce my name- surname included! However I do get pissed when I politely correct the pronunciation and they say they DONT BELIEVE ME and then continue to mispronounce. Yes, this actually happens s lot!

I'm looking at you, Mr Raymond Luxury Yacht

Nah, it's show of respect. Don't get me wrong, if you've never heard it and get it wrong, that should be no big deal. But if you deal with them often and out no effort in learning it, you're the AH as you've clearly put no effort into showing them respect. And the name being foreign doesn't absolve you of anything. People from other countries learn all kinds of names that are foreign to them. Personally, I gave up on caring about people getting my name right. And for those of you also who have too, there's nothing wrong with that. But it really doesn't take much to learn a name phonetically.

Most people use a variation of my name rather than the actual, like J, or Jrod. I don't like it but it doesn't bother me enough to warrant any reaction. And if someone acknowledges me or tries to get my attention with a name or a moniker I don't like I will just straight up not acknowledge that that person even f*****g exists until they fix it.

At least make an effort. It's a show of respect.

My last name is always mispronounced and that's ok, it's German. Not everyone gets it and I don't expect them to. But someone who gets mad when their name is spelled Kimmy or Kimmie but pronounces it "KimA" should be slapped. Sorry, not sorry.

I always appreciate when someone is genuinely trying. Getting it wrong a few times, while learning it, is acceptable. But when you still mispronounce my name months later, you aren't really trying. There is no L anywhere in Athena....

People like you have watered down the meaning of “arrogant” so much that it no longer bothers me to be called that. If minorities getting pissed about people’s apathy toward them is arrogant, then I applaud their glorious arrogance.

My surname gets mispronounced so often that I only get offended if someone from my state mispronounces it. From other people it’s kind of funny, I mostly just note all the mispronunciations so that I can laugh at them

What really rustles my jimmies are people that write my name wrong EVEN THO IT'S RIGHT THERE ON THE SCREEN, are you kidding me?!

The ones (or their parent, if it's a child) that get maddest seem to be the ones whose names don't follow any known phonics rules. Like the third-grader named Beyoncé who joined children's choir one spring. We teachers pronounced the name on the enrollment card the way we were used to hearing it, as we welcomed the girl. Mama glared at all of us. "It's BIANCA." The poor girl just looked confused, like she couldn't figure out why no one ever says her name right.

Depends. If it is difficult or you had creative parent then it is your lot in life to be mispronounced. If the spelling of your name is clear and simple then you have every right to be annoyed when people can't be bothered to adhere to common rules of pronounciation.

Sure, if it is the first time. If it is the 10th time and you are still getting it wrong? You aren't even trying and they have a right to be annoyed.

99 out of 100 say my first name wrong (in the US). I'm always getting a good giggle out of it and end up referring to my initials. :)

I dislike having my given name mispronounced, so I adopted a nickname... Sorted.

Have fun with your name! Julius is an uncommon name where I live, so I am Batman when I order at the fast food place. Cuts down on misspellings and mispronunciations, and everyone gets a smile out of an old codger claiming to be a superhero. Bonus: everyone knows me now.

I don't feel like this is very common. I can't think of a single time anyone has expressed anger for my mispronunciation of a name.
