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"

If you regularly use 3rd party food delivery services and you're not disabled you're the reason restaurant food quality has gone to shit and I will call you out on it.
You've made it clear you're willing to pay twice as much for a shittier product and these businesses have heard you loud and clear.
During the height of the pandemic, the wife convinced me a few times to just be lazy and order delivery. Every single time I remember eating the food, and thinking "I could have made this better, faster, and cheaper than what I am currently eating".
And you very well may. But the pandemic itself made sense temporarily for delivery. But a lot of people really got into the lazy part of it.
We all need a little splurge like that now and then. But people doing it every week, or 2-3 times a week is just absolute gobsmack crazy to me.
Even pizza I typically pick up. I used to live just 5 minutes from one and still felt so lazy getting it brought to me I'd give em $5 tip anyway to help them and punish myself for the laziness. It was usually just 1 pie with the easiest (actually 5 minutes too- unless traffic was light at the time) drive and walkway situation they could ask for. The drivers must have fought for my tickets lol. Not a humongous tip, but for 5 minutes of work with the easiest workload possible and no difficulty (unless you count a 3-step to get on the porch, which I would often meet them at or tell em to leave it on there to prevent even that)
If you do it regularly and aren't disabled or in some other situation that makes it necessary, I just judge you really hard. Not in a specific angle like you've chosen necessarily, but just as a person in general.
For just laziness reasons, it can't be defended and that's all these people have without the disabled reasoning. Way richer in money than brain cells clearly. What other reason could there be for regular use of it? Even just often enough to subscribe to whatever their plans are is a crazy amount of delivery orders.
It doesn't help that I've worked food my whole life and online ordering/delivery have turned the job I loved into a hellscape of entitlement and laziness.
I used to love making customers happy and satisfied. Now idgaf take the fucking food and get out of my god damn face.
Yeah, this one hits close to home. My Mom is getting older and losing her mobility: she really can’t go out much since about COViD. At first all the new and expanded delivery service were a huge benefit to people like her and really made her life much better. But now t just seems like we’re ripping off or treating like shit, people like her who can least afford it, who have the least options
