What's the most petty/pointless/pedantic hill you're willing to die on?

For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don't want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That's ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use "less" when they should use "fewer"

CEREAL FIRST, THEN MILK!!! COLD MILK! I DON'T CARE HOW YOUR MOM USED TO FIX IT, THIS IS THE ONLY CORRECT WAY!!!

This is the way.

I want a full bowl of cereal, with milk added to soften/moisten it; not a bowl of milk with some cereal floating on top.

But then I finish the cereal. Still hungry - some milk in the bowl. I proceed to add more cereal on the milk. Fuck you.

Ok, ok, adding more cereal after you've finished the initial cereal is permitted. I'm not a monster

Glad to encounter a nice and reasonable cereal enjoyer such as yourself. May your Reese's Puffs be extra puffy.

But drinking the cereal flavoured milk that's left over is one of my favourite things about eating cereal!

I can feel your trauma through this post. We hear you. You are heard.

I allow an exception for cereals that get soggy/flavorless very quickly when wet (e.g. frosted flakes). Controlled 'dunking' with your spoon after the fact optimizes the amount of milk exposure. 🤓
