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"

Everyone just accepted that company's changed wording from customer to consumer

And.it very much bothers me to this day that noone cares about the implication

i also hate how hotels will now call people “guests” instead of customers. some restaurants do this too. it just makes things feel more gross and corporate. like it’s trying to force the whole “we’re all a family here” mentality on the customers

Someone else in this thread would get mad at you for using "company's" and not "companies"

Everyone also just accepted that the U.S. changed the War Department to the Department of Defense.
