" I know I probably sound like a Boomer but it irk the sh*t out of me . "
Us humans are stubborn folks, and we all have those things that, rightly or wrongly, we refuse to budge on.
Well,u/DM_Drakkolirecently askedr/NoStupidQuestions, “What is the dumbest hill you’re willing to die on?” and we thought we’d share some of the best responses:
1.“For me, it’s the idea that there’s no such thing as ‘breakfast food’, and the fact that it’s damn near impossible to get a burger before 11am is bullshit.”

2.“I shouldn’t need to create an account just to see your website, and especially if you’re trying to sell me something, you’ve just lost a customer who doesn’t even know what your product is.”
– uracil / Skwigle
3.“Police siren sound effects should be banned in music. Shit freaks me out whenever I’m driving.”

4.“Lions aren’t the king of the jungle.”

5.“Children’s menus in nice restaurants should include smaller portions of the normal dishes. My kids can’t eat an adult sized entree, but they still want ‘real’ food over chicken fingers and mac n cheese.”

6.“Not everything needs an app or should require me having to use my phone e.g. ordering/paying at a restaurant. I shouldn’t have to use a QR code. I know I probably sound like a Boomer but it irks the shit out of me.”

7.“It’s really hard to buy thin sliced bread. For a while, stores used to offer thin, standard, thick and extra thick then they just stopped offering thin sliced. It matters if you are trying to reduce the amount of bread you eat and would rather a sandwich was more filling than bread.”

8.“Toilet seats. Down? Up? You’re both wrong AND disgusting. Put the damn cover down before you flush.”

9.“Seems like every day I see someone using everyday instead of every day.”

10.“Having a high spice tolerance doesn’t mean you’re tough or cool or manly or whatever. I’ve had to stop eating spicy food around certain people because they will always order something spicier than I did so instead of having a nice meal with a group of friends I’m forced to sit and watch them sweat and suffer because my meal triggered some really random insecurity of theirs.”

11.“There is no way the IRS doesn’t already know exactly how much each individual and business owes. Yearly tax returns are a scam.”

12.“Being a morning person is NOT better than being a night person. Morning people are seen as productive and night people as lazy. It literally DOES NOT MATTER, all that matters is your productivity.”
" I got a Ph.D. and played professional sports being a night someone . When I was playing sports I would literally workout at 5AM at drill , go back to sleep until 1PM then workout again at 11PM before go to bed at 1AM again .
During my PhD I acquire up at noon almost every 24-hour interval ( sometimes later ) . And between the hours of 9PM and 3AM I got the good work done of my life before going to sleep . I just work comfortably in the dead quiet of nighttime when the whole macrocosm is still , AND I prefer to go to log Z’s right after work .
I would shut my information processing system down and go rest down . Now that I have kids it has n’t exchange either ! I go to bed at 3AM , wake up at 7AM and get my shaver to school , then back to kip from 8 - 11/12 while my wife endure to work . I then get up , get robed and work from 12 - 3 , pick my minor up from school . They go to seam at 9PM , then I work again till around midnight then just workout or play television game till 3AM again . "

14.“The singing of the anthem doesn’t need to happen at every damn sporting event unless it actually involves international teams. I see folks say ‘keep your politics out of sports!’ but then turn around and blow a gasket because someone didn’t take off their hat at a baseball game during the holy flag song.”
