There might be certain issues, mistakes, or potential improvements that go unnoticed by many. Yet someone who recognizes them might quite on the contrary be determined to correct them no matter the cost of their time and energy.
And they might be right if we think about someone like Ignaz Semmelweis discovering that by disinfecting their hands healthcare workers could drastically reduce the incidence of infection in obstetrical clinics. Yet it might be something smaller, for example pointing out the fact that bees have six legs rather than four! These Redditors shared things they refuse to let go, answering one Redditor’s question: “What is the smallest hill you’ll die on?”

Burgers should be wider not taller, if you need to put a skewer through it its no longer a burger its a keebab.

As you should, unless you intentionally mean to imply that the last 2 items on the list are joined/connected etc.

If you’re going to serve room temp bread at a restaurant, don’t serve me ice cold butter. Warm one of the two things up

It is not impolite to correct someone who is spreading misinformation, regardless of whether they’re lying or just plain incorrect.
Luke Branwen 1 year ago
Also nobody should be obligated to "respect the opinions" of bigots and generally hateful people. "Trans women are predatory men" is not an opinion. "Illegal immigrants should be put to detention camps" is not an opinion.

If someone is behind me, I will always throw my arm back and hold the door. The amount of times people just let it shut in my face has me irate.
arthbach 1 year ago (edited)
I had walked through the doorway, and saw an elderly man approaching. Naturally, I held the door open for him. He looked me up and down and said, "Thank you, sir." Placing my hand on his forearm, I gently said, "You need to book a sight test if you think I am a man." ....For some reason, it appears he took it as an affront to his masculinity that a woman would hold a door open for him. In my world, people hold doors open for others. (Edited to add: this man's sight was good enough for him to drive a car. He had a good look and me, and then chose to call me 'sir'. I'm a small woman with long hair, and I was wearing a summer dress. He chose to be rude and sexist.)

Cut the god damn tails off my shrimp before putting it in pasta, I don’t care what the French say.
Fun Fan 1 year ago (edited)
For pasta French also cut the tails. There are some dishes, where the shrimps are the main protein, and must be shown, so they are with tails served. But in paste or rice dishes, where they are mixed with other ingredients, it's cut. You suppose to can eat the dish as full, and not search for unedible pieces in every bite.

Every single time someone posts a picture or article about Istanbul, I comment "not Constantinople." I will usually get downvoted to hell for it, but I think it's hilarious. So I'll die on that hill.

Tipping for carryout is the biggest scam in restaurant history.
Fun Fan 1 year ago
Mandatory tipping in the US restaurants is the biggest one. Pay your servers a 25-30 bucks/hour, and pay your cooks a 30-35 bucks/hour at least. No, you don't have to raise prices, because with these hourly pays, the guest will pay likely the same amount as now with 20% tip "obligatory". Your greed will just loose. Don't even try me to shame into paying your staff!
#19
Burgers come WITH fries. Stop trying to charge me an extra $7 for 1/4 of a potato’s worth of shoestring fries that get cold before they even reach the plate just because you put truffle oil or some other b******t on them.
TheGoodBoi 1 year ago (edited)
HATE when restaurants do this. $11 for the burger, you want fries? $5 for plain fries...

Utensils need to be at the END of a buffet.
So many places put them at the beginning of a buffet. You don't know what utensils you'll need yet and then you have to carry them around the whole time. Madness.

If you are on the highway and you try to move over two lanes to sneak into a packed exit right before the guard rail, you have already missed your f*****g turn. Go to the next exit and turn around or try another route.
Before anyone brings it up, no, I am not talking about merging. I am talking about seeing a long line of people waiting to get off an exit, and you breaking the law by crossing solid lines to cut in because you couldn't be f****d to read the signs for the last two miles telling you which lane you need to be in for your exit.
Adam Belaire 1 year ago
What gets me are the people who see the long line up, keep driving all the way to the front and then try to force their way in.

Don't force me to download your f*****g app.
Went to Chipotle, at 6pm. They told me they weren't accepting anything but online orders. This had happened to me once during covid due to supply issues so I asked if they were low on food. They said no. I asked if they were short staffed or something. They said no. So I said "you're telling me you can't give me the food that is literally sitting in between us, by giving you this money that is literally in my hand unless I have a smart phone and make an account and type my order in?" They said that's correct. So yeah, for absolutely no reason besides wanting to sell my data probably, they're willing to lose customers.
Another time I went into a Firehouse Subs that has had open dine in for over a year since covid died down. The employees looked at me like I was crazy or trespassing when I walked in. One girl was like "hi?" I said "hi..." She said "are you here for an online pickup?" I said "no, I'd like to order and eat my food here, your dining room is open right?" She said "oh...ok.." Dining room didn't have chairs on the tables or anything, it looked normal.
Why? How did we get here as a society?

Because people weirdly want to do away with people for some strange, self-damning reason.

“An everyday walk in the park” vs “I walk in the park every day.”

You should not have to tip anywhere. It is not my responsibility to subsidize your own staff's life, and you will not guilt trip me into it.

If I had to pay for sauce I better have sauce in the bag.
Cyber Returns 1 year ago
If I have to pay for sauce then I won't bother having sauce (I'm looking at you McDonalds) There's a guy on YouTube called Jordan Howlett who will tell you how to make all the fast food restaurants 'secret recipes' and he will do it because of the attitude the restaurants give. On one occasion he heard a woman being refused a particular sauce for some dumb reason so he posted a video on how to make your own at home

You can't use "exponential" to describe every large increase, especially if you're only looking at two data points.

Unless you're describing the population of Ireland because that's always Dublin.

If I order a chicken sandwich and you give me two pieces of bread with chunks of chicken, a 1/4 cup of mustard and raisins in it I’m out. You’re dead to me, your cafe is dead to me. That is not a sandwich, it’s a disappointment.

Mine's overuse of "two times as"... especially in tv adverts. "this sponge is two times as absorbent"... TWICE. What is wrong with using the word twice?
marianne eliza 1 year ago
Yes. Anytime I hear stuff like that I always wonder 2x as absorbent as what? And "we're just minutes away" or some such rot. Everything in the world is just minutes away. But how many minutes? Sale signs or ads that say something like UP TO 30% off. UP TO. That means it could anything from 0% to 30%.

Mine is that overly pedantic people need to get over themselves. If you're able to understand what someone is saying, why get worked up about small errors in grammar or word usage? There are better things to worry about.
DB 1 year ago
It's irritating when it comes from a source that should be aware of correct grammar and usage. Journalists, teachers, businesspeople with college degrees. You expect people like that to know the language if they make a living using it.
