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"

If something's rate of hype is too fast for my internal meter, I will become immediately skeptical of the trend/show/etc. and not care about it, solely because everyone is caring about it too much and too fast.

Oh this one really speaks to me. I feel the same way, probably to an unhealthy degree, honestly

With very few exceptions, that popular TV show you like with either end bad or get cancelled before it gets a chance to end bad.

I call it the "trying too hard" put-off. The harder you try to sell me on something, the more I'm sure I don't want or need it.
