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"

The same can be said about "ignorant". Calling a person ignorant because they say something that peeves you, doesn't make them ignorant. It makes them infuriating. Idk how often people use the word ignorant in this way, but my mother does and doesn't get it when I call her ignorant about ignorant.
