O.T. Important things (to some folks) but not to others

Submitted by mGrowOld on
Today's raging debate over Adidas v Nike got me to thinking about topics important to people that others could care less about. Exhibit A in my house is where we sit in a resturant when my wife and I go out to eat. I don't care where we sit but to my wife this is VERY important and I can safely say that when entrusted with this critical task I have chosen poorly each an every time we've gone out. So knowing this I no longer make the choice and defer to my wife for seating selection and everyone's happy. So what's yours? I don't care about about shoe brand my school wears or where I sit in a resturant. What VERY IMPORTANT topic do you not care about?

TP rolls, shoes, whatever.  Just get off my lawn.  Ha, just kidding.  I don't have one.  The lack of sunlight killed it off a long time ago, and I don't care.  I don't care about the children.  I like sex and violence on TV.  I don't care about your hottakes.  I don't care what people think about the Big Ten.  

You MGrowold are lucky.  Such a solution to your restaurant-sitting dilemma is sensible.  My wife, however, inisits that I figure that sh** out and complete the task without a hiccup.  Cutting out the middleman is not part of her vocabulary.

Speaking of toilet paper...I hate the kind of roll in public restrooms that doesn't turn easily. It doesn't even rotate once before it stops and you have to push it to keep going around. The fallacy is that the toilet paper is cheap and unsturdy, and so pulling at it causes it to tear. Then you have to push the roll around to get it going again, and the same thing happens over and over again. I know they're trying to keep it from unraveling, but really bad design.

Not the original idea of the OP, but the thing I hate is talking to people about Michigan football who don't read Mgoblog.  They are just so uninformed and shallow about their views and they just HAVE to share them with you.

 

Edit: Oh yeah, people who sign their posts with their names when their avatar and name are right frickin there on top of their posts.  Sorry, jdon.

 

Edit 2: One last thing. People who don't read the comments in a thread before posting.  Odds are someone already wrote what you are going to say or asked the same questions ten posts up.

I just want to be in the middle (left/right-wise) so I'm not turning to watch the screen but my girlfriend CANNOT sit closer than about halfway to the front or she says she's craning her neck to look up at the screen.

It leaves us a very small sweet spot for seats when we go to the movies, and I end up waiting several weeks after a movie comes out to go with her so we don't have to get there an hour beforehand.

Funny thing is, the walking on the road side of the sidewalk actually originated in the middle ages.  Back then, men had nicer clothing than women and it was dirtier to walk on the building side because of things like chamber pot waste being tossed out of windows.

When wife and I walk into a store and some salesman says, can I help you, "folks"? Folks, what a stupid thing to call random people. Sounds like something out of the fifties. Also, I have no idea if you CAN help us, what you mean is you want to know if you may help us. Huh!  Grammar lesson of the day.

I also hate sitting in a meeting with a visual presentation and the speaker reads every slide verbatim. Adds nothing to the verbiage that I can read way faster in my head than this dunderhead can read aloud like he's some third grade teacher reading to a classroom

Being at an extremely long red light, in the right lane, attempting to turn right but the car in front of me is going straight and we're the only 2 cars at the intersection. More of a pet peeve sure, but drives me nuts.
