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"

An entire fandom has been pronouncing "Evangelion" wrong for the past quarter-century.

It's supposed to be pronounced with a hard G, like hair gel.

Never playing games online unless it's something like an MMORPG like Dofus or Wakfu where interacting with others is completely optional, or unless with a friend. Rule applies to almost every single game I play besides Krosmaga.

By the time I become somewhat decent at a game, I can already guarantee I'll be consistently paired up with either hackers or people way above my skill grade. Then it'll drain all the fun. Same reason why back in highschool I only ever really played games like CS:GO with my friend and haven't touched them pretty much at all in my free time.
