What is your pet peeve in 2024?
  • That every store wants you to sign up and have you give them your details.
    When I bought a shirt in a department store a couple of years ago and the guy wanted me to give him my email address “to save paper” (yeah right), rather than give me a receipt. It was like we were having a stand off for a while there. I just want to buy a shirt not sign up for ongoing spam!

  • The customer is always right
  • Had a friend who worked in a pizza store have someone order at pizza with chilli as an ingredient, "how hot do you want it?", customer said "11/10". They were very generous with the chilli flakes. Customer then called back to complain it was too hot!

  • Nocturnal rule
  • Years ago when my schedule allowed it, I slept from 2am to midday for a month. Probably the one time in my adult life that I had caught up on my sleep debt, it was glorious. Although it seemed once I was “caught up” I couldn’t sleep that long anymore.

  • I hate how anything without "world" in its name is just about the US
  • Consequently, Americans generate the majority of English-language Internet content.

    False. Yes, it is larger than any other individual English speaking group but accounts for less than a fifth of the total English speakers.

    I wouldn’t have guessed Nigeria is the third largest English speaking group.
