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"

I'm sort of with you on atrocious wedding photos however black and white photography is usually done to enhance the dramatic effect of an image. If it's done well it's amazing. One of my friends took black and white photos of my wedding without telling us and surprised us later with the photos. They were amazing and a priceless gift.

Plus they're an easy enough edit to add to regular photos. Is not like it has to be one of the other unless there's some secret art about actually shooting in BW that makes it somehow special-er.

Yeah, I get it if you're using "fake" Instagram style filters that fake the aging process, but sepia and b&w filters are pretty standard to help evoke more emotion from certain photos. I'll even tolerate tasteful soft focus, but a lot of people go overboard on it for my taste.
