Our planet is home to billions of people with unique quirks and traits – and every single one of us holds different opinions. 

Is eating breakfast for dinner acceptable? How essential is a college education? Is social media creating a toxic culture or helping us stay connected? Is Shrek the best-animated movie ever? The list could go on and on, but you get the gist.

Some might argue that being overly opinionated is somewhat frowned upon – however, everybody perceives life in their own way. Distinct opinions foster debate – and debate is great, as you get the opportunity to view the world through someone else's eyes:

What is the smallest, pettiest hill you'll still die on?” – this web user turned to one of Reddit’s most thought-provoking communities, wondering what seemingly unimportant beliefs people are willing to defend, no matter what it costs them. The thread has managed to receive over 14K upvotes in just a matter of days, as well as 14.5K worth of comments and intriguing examples.

Some years ago a woman on the train was discussing her vaginal yeast infection with someone on the phone. Why would you think that's a good idea?

    I agree. Don't understand the big deal about this over over over produced woman. She's made a few danceable numbers, but that's the extent of it in my book.

    **insert name of current flavor of the month artist/celebrity here** is overhyped. I get liking or even loving some of the projects these people do but to idolize them to almost godlike status has never made much sense to me. What we see is rarely who they are.

    Beyonce has been popular for almost 20 years, and that's just as a solo act. Hardly "flavor of the month".

    I'd agree; I think it should be perfectly ok to say a celeb is overhyped without their "fandom" going crazy. Some fandoms seem to hero worship their idol and refuse to accept that others may not enjoy that persons music/art/films.

    Can I just say "Thank you" for this entire category and the threads therein? I've never felt so validated! Beyoncé overrated? Yes! And please: stop sending your chosen fragrance ahead of you to announce your arrival. There is a restaurant near us. I refuse to eat there because of it name: Cheer's. No, I've not misspelled that and if you can't figure it out, you are one of the reasons we need this category. Am I petty about these things? I prefer to think of myself as one of the few bold barriers of civilization left in our world. (And yes, I'm giggling- all in good fun!)

    She absolutely earned all of her fame and deserves it! But I've seen her fans send death threats to people claiming it's on behalf of B herself and that's just not ok. In that way, she is overhyped. No one deserves to be threatened with death for simply not liking the music of an artist.

    THIS. As I’ve gotten older and watched the previous generation start to shuffle off this mortal coil, have beaten the big C in my late 20s and began to lose a few friends too early, I resolved that my time is the most valuable thing in my life. I semi-jokingly tell people that disrespect my or others’ time that I value it at a minimum of $60/hr. Stealing other peoples time is the worst. Not appreciating them when they gift you their time is entitled & inconsiderate.

    I’ll never forget this… once I was trying to pass a man and woman with their cart at the end of a very long aisle. They were in the very middle. I couldn’t go around on either side of them. I said, “Excuse me.” No one budged. I thought perhaps they didn’t hear me. I said it again a little louder. The man looked at me and went to move the cart, but the woman grabbed it and said to him, “When I’m done.” That’s when I became “done.” I walked over to their cart, shoving it aside and pointing to the man with her, I said, “He may have to wait until you’re ‘done,’ but I don’t! I’m ‘done’ being polite. Move it!” She stared at me dumbfounded, while he told her, “You deserved that.” She looked at him and said, “Shut up.” And I continued shopping.

    I had my debit card declined at a gas station on a pay day, when my check was auto-deposited. Bank of America was right next door, so I popped inside. The teller very loudly berated me, saying my account had a hold put on it because I’d been “depositing” checks I’d written… immediately taking cash out of my account, knowing the checks were no good. The bank was giving me the cash, assuming the checks would clear. And I’d amassed more than $4000 this way. And the bank was going to press charges. By then, every customer in the lobby was staring at me, like I was scum of the Earth. Thoroughly embarrassed, I told the clerk to check again. Check MY account again. To look for those supposed deposit/withdrawals. Her face said it all. And in a low voice, that no one else could hear, she said, “I’m sorry. There’s obviously a mistake.” Loudly, I repeated, “YOU SAY YOU’RE MISTAKEN? IT’S NOT ME DOING THESE THINGS?” I withdrew all my money. Closed my account. And will not do business with them.

    This, I dislike it when people give me the right of way when I don't have it. It confuses me and other road-users. I do not expect it, I expect I have to wait my turn, and then someone waves at me that I can go first, and I get confused and feel like I should hurry, and then if I go, I pay less attention to other stuff (like someone crossing the road next to me). There are exceptions - when it is really busy and you're on a side road, and there is no gap in sight to turn on the road as well. But not when there is no real need.

    Saying “irregardless”, despite the fact it’s in the dictionary (albeit, as a “nonstandard”), makes you look and sound like a f*****g moron.

    “Regardless” does the job. It means “without regard”. So adding the prefix “ir-“ is goddamned redundant.

    Irregardless of your point, irregardless is still a correct term and can still be used irregardless of your feelings.

    It is a PIN, not a PIN number. PIN stands for personal identification number.

    Just use 24hr clock. 06:00 = 6 am. When talking, it's 6 in the morning or 6 in the evening. (and when writing, we write 18:00 but say 6)

    One very notable exception: for "will you marry me?" you should already know the answer and don't have much business asking it if you don't.

    45 Of The Pettiest Beliefs People In This Online Group Would Stand By, No Matter What An apology should be used when you are genuinely sorry, not as absolution; it should also not be expected to be forgiven, either.

    Edit: As a Canadian, I'll concede that I do use "sorry" several times a day in the most seemingly mundane of situations, but trust me; I am sorry I am in your way.

    45 Of The Pettiest Beliefs People In This Online Group Would Stand By, No Matter What So many people, movies and TV shows misuse the phrase “divide and conquer”.

    It doesn’t mean “to split up and attack on multiple fronts”, which is a horrible idea for military strategy on the grand scale of armies.

    It means to divide your enemy, and conquer them one by one.

    "Begs the question" does not mean "raises the question" or "brings up the question," even though it's recently been used that way often.

    It's a specific term for a logical fallacy (basically, circular reasoning) -- because rather than arguing the question, you are begging that it be conceded. "You're begging the question," means you're using the point you're trying to prove as an argument to prove that very same point.

    Edit: Folks, I get it. "Raises the question," is now a common usage, language is determined by use, it's not prescriptive, etc etc. Please, let me refer to you to the title of this thread and ask you why you didn't *expect* shallow pedantry. If we can still get pissed about 'irregardless', we can still be annoyed by this.

    Rudolph is not a core member of Santa's reindeer team. The song specifically says "then ONE foggy Christmas Eve... Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh TONIGHT."

    why would Santa risk being noticed with a red light of a nose if he didn't need to? Rudolph is like the brights on your car, you only need them when you need to.

    That was just the beginning. Rudolph was with them after that point every Christmas Eve, because Santa's no dummy. I don't need fog at night to put my headlights on. It just has to be dark. Then Rudolph and Clarice had kids and a couple of them had the same birth defect, so today Rudy Jr. is guiding the sleigh. Duh. rudolph-an...fca4ed.jpg rudolph-and-clarice-62f3d5afca4ed.jpg
