People Are Sharing The Pettiest Hill They’ll Die On In This Viral Thread

No one likes a petty person, but we all have one thing that will forever bug us. If you don’t I’d be willing to bet that you’re lying.

It’s usually the little things that really get to us. Things like not returning the shopping cart after you’rer done using it. Also, people who talk while on speaker phone are just a couple of things people are discussing in this AskReddit thread.

See how many of these you relate to.

What is the smallest, pettiest hill you’ll still die on?

No one wants to hear your phone conversations in public. NO ONE.

If today is Monday, then the upcoming Saturday is considered “this Saturday” not “next Saturday”. “Next” would be two Saturdays from now.

Fight me.

It’s common courtesy to wait for someone to come off the elevator before entering.

Put your goddamn shopping cart/trolley in the corral

Adding ‘s at the end of a word does not make it plural.

I’ve seen it in ads. I’ve seen it on signs. I’ve even seen it on a flyer someone wrote advertising their services as a writer.

People walk around like it’s normal! Out in the street! Saying that they have 14 chicken’s! Like monsters!

I will die on this hill over and over until my assembled corpses make it into a slightly bigger hill.

Throwing your cigarette butts is littering.

I don’t care how you pronounce them, but it’s written “could/would/should/might HAVE”, not “could of”.

Happy little ethnic child blowing out candles during birthday celebration

When a kid has a birthday, only HE gets to blow out the candles! It INFURIATES me to my very soul when I see other kids try to blow them out. The only thing worse is when adults LET THEM.

Being late, making others wait, or any other method of wasting another’s time is stealing the most valuable, non-retrievable, irreplaceable thing in their life.

It is possible to look at something on a grocery store shelf without blocking the whole aisle. Looking at you, shoppers in a certain Aldi this afternoon …

It’s “I couldn’t care less”
“I could care less” doesn’t even make sense.

Don’t talk with your mouth full of food.

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t want to see partially chewed food in your mouth.

When I have time approved off from work and something goes wrong, no it is not my responsibility to log back on and take care of it.

#15

Big groups who won’t make way on the sidewalk. If you won’t move I will walk right into you.

#16

That you need to let people off the f*****g subway before you get on. My guy, you will get on – let me off first!

Use the left lane for passing and then get back into the doggone right lane. Grew up in Germany where that’s enforced on the Autobahn.

American left-lane hogs drive me nuts, especially when they go five miles under the speed limit. What’s the friggin’ point?

Cologne (and perfume) should be discovered, not announced.
Stop weaponizing that s**t by bathing in it.

Scrolling through TikTok/Reels/whatever with your volume up in public or semi-public places (transit, waiting room, restaurant).

Bank of America charged me $2 for a miscellaneous charge, in 1997. I called to ask what it was for because there was no reason. The lady on the phone said, well, I can’t tell you because it is miscellaneous. I asked her to then please reverse it and she refused.

I pulled all three of my accounts from them and moved them to a credit union and ever since, full stop refuse to have a damn thing with that company.

Fish is meat.

I had one friend who would not let it go and argued that it was not and it was ‘just fish’ so much that it became a running joke.

Piqued my interest.
It’s not “peaked”

Don’t wave me through the 4 way stop to “be nice”, just take your goddamn turn.

You “lose” a bet. You don’t “loose” a bet

If you open the microwave before it’s done clear the timer so the next person doesn’t have to try to figure out why it’s not starting.

The meteorological phenomenon is “lightning”, NOT “lightening”

When you’re inside it’s the floor, when you are outside it’s the ground.

Do not ask questions you know the answer to. “Are you crying?” no Sharon I am just sweating through my eyes, that’s why I look so upset.

Saying “irregardless”, despite the fact it’s in the dictionary (albeit, as a “nonstandard”), makes you look and sound like a f*****g moron.

“Regardless” does the job. It means “without regard”. So adding the prefix “ir-“ is goddamned redundant.

“6 a.m. in the morning.”

No. Just no.

#31

It is a PIN, not a PIN number. PIN stands for personal identification number.

Just like it is an ATM, not an ATM machine.

Sidewalk and hallway traffic should move like road traffic. Stick to the side of the sidewalk or hallway based on the direction you are going. I will not move out of my way for you if you are walking on the wrong side.
