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 feel like I’m out of the loop on this one.
You don’t consider delivery/logistics to be working, and you expect supermarkets to receive their stock from a fleet of cars/vans?
And you don’t need a different license to drive trucks where you live?

Pretty sure they meant hauling groceries from the grocery store home, not delivering groceries to the store.

Who uses a truck for that?
Edit: I guess truck drivers who don’t own a car might, but surely that’s less than 1% of the road users?

I think you're confused, I am not talking transports. I'm talking large "passenger" trucks (F150, RAM, Yukon, Etc). Most people driving these vehicles don't need them and even more people can't safely drive them either.

Cars, Vans, Light SUV are a all crash comparable meaning the bumpers should be at at a min/max height so if you get into an accident all of the crumple zones will do their jobs. Trucks don't need to follow these regulations.

Because bad regulations around "light trucks" and manufacturers didn't have to follow stricter emissions either, unlike passenger vehicles.

Oh, I get you.
Sorry, I’m not American, so I’ve never heard people call them that.
Where I live, ‘truck’ is exclusively used for the vehicles used with logistics or heavy machinery.

Totally understand what you mean now, and yeah fuck those guys lol.
