Teslas cruising in the left lane at speed for battery optimization instead of with the intent to pass or go with the flow of left lane traffic
pellet grills, but more specifically the people who use them proudly and especially in casual, neighborhood cook-offs. I get they have their place for convenience but if you’re buying store bought rubs and using an ez bake, you didn’t do anything. Good job watching a timer and using a thermometer.
the fact that “standard” shirts are cut like dresses for fat asses now
women with equality chips on their shoulder constantly fighting “the patriarchy” instead of just being their very best and enjoying the journey
when people smell like curry in a confined or tightly packed space, especially when it’s hot out.
Spaghetti is the dumbest pasta shape. It’s harder to cook, harder to serve, harder to eat, and does a terrible job of absorbing sauce. Macaroni all the way.
I have never eaten the correct number of donuts. After eating a donut, I will either want another or realize that I have already had too many.
If you are at the front of the line on the protected left and wait for it to turn yellow before you go so that no one can go behind you, you should be forced to go to the back of the line.
There should be a weight limit on yoga pants. It should be lower on the ass-crack versions.
Brocolli always smells like rot.
Cilantro tastes like soap and that is why I like it. As a child, I narrowly avoided letting the intrusive voices win and eating dishwasher soap. It smells so good.
When the youth start wearing the same styles that were popular when you were their age, it means that you are old enough that they aren’t worried about being confused with someone from your generation.
People who think that the problem with the world is that people don’t get punched in the face anymore, don’t realize that door swings both ways. They usually imagine they will do a lot more punching, but not more getting punched. Because getting punched in the face sucks.
At least ninety-five percent of all food preparation is just following instructions. If you can’t make your own food in 2023 with the internet, it’s not about skill. You’re just lazy.
I despise small talk of any kind. I’ll sometimes go along in public so it’s not awkward for my wife, but it’s painful. The worst is other parents. Yes our kids are playing together on the playground. That doesn’t mean I want to talk about the weather, their school, sleep patterns or how much you enjoy Bluey. I don’t want your phone number unless my kid wants to hang out with your kid.

spending 4-5 figures on an article of clothing you will wear for less than 12 hours, spending the equivalent of a month worth of work planning a big party or alternately, dropping 4-5 figures on a wedding planner, 4 figures on plant matter that will just die, hours spent on things like hair and makeup
I don’t think it’s vanity at all. I just think that the weddings many girls dream of is a massive waste of time and money, time and money that could be better spent investing in the future of the union
In the case of extravagant birthdays (e,g, sweet 16), invested in the future of the child
