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"

Trucks should be used for working and not hauling groceries. Get a fucking car or a van. Roads are safer with more crash compatibe vehicles that also weigh less. Large trucks should need a special licence to drive/own Driving should also be taught in school

As someone who lives in Texas and watches the biggest trucks be driven by the worst drivers on the road, I agree with the extra license bit. I also believe they should only be allowed to park in specifically designated spots, considering how often they don't fit in a parking spot and block parts of parking lots.

I like the parking idea, all the way in the back where they can be douches all by themselves. I saw a guy in Colorado last week actually do that. He parked perpendicular to the lines and took up 6ish spots but at least he was out of the way.

This white dude got out all cool, blaring his music and helped his black queen out in her bright pink workout clothes and they both went into the gym and half assed some workout on the cable machines while she literally selfies the entire time.

This sounds like winning. He wins at life.
