Yahoo Lifestyle "This Shouldn’t Even Be Up For Discussion": 19 Strongly Opinionated People Are Sharing The Hills They Will Die On, And I'm Dying Of Laughter
It's natural to have a strong opinion about something. In fact, other people might agree with you. So when Reddit user —VegansH8Me asked: "What hill are you willing to die on?" so many people provided their thoughts on very specific matters. Here's what they said below.
1."The Oxford Comma. I will be out back by the bike racks, and I am willing to discuss this in more detail with any interested parties."
2."If I need an app to buy something, I will go without."
"I stopped eating at Chipotle when I walked in at 2:30 in the afternoon when the place was 100% empty of customers, and I couldn’t order a quesadilla unless I took out my phone, downloaded an app, made an account, then placed the order from it. I just said, 'Oh, ok,' and walked out. No Karen moment, just dumbfounded at whoever thought this was the right customer experience."
3."'Aesthetic' is not a synonym for 'beautiful.'"
"'That’s so aesthetic.' No
'That’s so aesthetically pleasing.' Yes."
4."Sandwiches shouldn’t go taller, but wider/longer when the desire for extra filling comes."
5."If you add fondant to food, it is now art and no longer food."
6."The pile of laundry I've yet to fold."
7."That everyone deserves access to mental health resources."
"This shouldn’t even be up for discussion. I equally hate folks who say, 'Everyone these days suffers from poor mental health; back in my day…'
Nah, fuck right off with that. People were clearly suffering; the resources just were pretty much nonexistent."
8."School breakfast and lunch need to be free. Kids should never be in school hungry."
9."Single people and people without children have families too. I'm sick of jobs, and, honestly, a good amount of society expects them to never spend holidays with their families and always pick up the slack at work when little Johnny gets sick."
"OMG, YES. This used to piss me off to no end. You have to work until five so I can pick up my kids from school, etc. I got punished for not putting myself in that situation somehow. Your kids are not my problem, people!"
10."Headlights are too bright."
"They are!!!! I'm so glad other people agree. Since cars have started using those ridiculously bright LEDs, I'm basically driving BLIND at night (when there's oncoming traffic)."
11."Abortion should be affordable and readily accessible to anyone who wants one for any reason, up to the sole discretion of the doctor performing the procedure. I recognize that a fetus is a human life; I just think the rights and autonomy of a fully grown woman with already established relationships, hopes, plans, and responsibilities are more important."
12."Put some headphones on when you are watching something or listening to something in public, you savages!"
"Last Friday, I was on a four-hour flight with six kids within the row I was in and those directly in front and behind me. All of them were using some kind of screen, and the sound was turned up due to the engine noise. It was impossible."
13."Raisins hidden in food are hateful and unwelcome."
14."The people exiting an elevator should get off first BEFORE others get on."
"I thought that was just basic etiquette and common sense for any form of public transport. Let people clear out and make space."
15."I'm willing to die on the hill that pineapple belongs on pizza. It's a perfect mix of sweet and savory, and if you haven't tried it, you're missing out. I know it's divisive, but hey, it's more for us who love it!"
16."Diner coffee is comforting."
"Dude, I need to go to a diner, get a light meal and coffee if I know the day is gonna be a rough one. Diners in the morning are my church. Quiet, alone, peaceful."
17."Bidets should be on every toilet in the world."
18."The hill I’m willing to die on? The kitchen is NOT a dumping ground for random gadgets and 'maybe I’ll use it someday' appliances. I’m talking about the waffle makers used twice a year, the avocado slicers, and the rice cookers collecting dust next to a perfectly functional pot. If it doesn’t have a regular spot in your weekly meal rotation, it’s got to go. Kitchens deserve to be functional, not chaotic mini-museums of impulse buys. I’ve seen people argue they need every gadget 'just in case.' But then they can’t find a clean counter to prep a single meal without moving a mountain of stuff. Free your countertops, people! Invest in versatile tools you’ll actually use, and ditch the clutter. Minimalist kitchen setups for the win."
19."Everyone needs to work a service industry job for one-month minimum."
