45 Of The Pettiest Beliefs People In This Online Group Would Stand By, No Matter What
Our planet is home to billions of people with unique quirks and traits – and every single one of us holds different opinions.
Is eating breakfast for dinner acceptable? How essential is a college education? Is social media creating a toxic culture or helping us stay connected? Is Shrek the best-animated movie ever? The list could go on and on, but you get the gist.
Some might argue that being overly opinionated is somewhat frowned upon – however, everybody perceives life in their own way. Distinct opinions foster debate – and debate is great, as you get the opportunity to view the world through someone else's eyes:
“What is the smallest, pettiest hill you'll still die on?” – this web user turned to one of Reddit’s most thought-provoking communities, wondering what seemingly unimportant beliefs people are willing to defend, no matter what it costs them. The thread has managed to receive over 14K upvotes in just a matter of days, as well as 14.5K worth of comments and intriguing examples.

I don't care how you pronounce them, but it's written "could/would/should/might HAVE", not "could of".
It’s “I couldn’t care less”
“I could care less” doesn’t even make sense.
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.
THIS. As I’ve gotten older and watched the previous generation start to shuffle off this mortal coil, have beaten the big C in my late 20s and began to lose a few friends too early, I resolved that my time is the most valuable thing in my life. I semi-jokingly tell people that disrespect my or others’ time that I value it at a minimum of $60/hr. Stealing other peoples time is the worst. Not appreciating them when they gift you their time is entitled & inconsiderate.
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 …
I’ll never forget this… once I was trying to pass a man and woman with their cart at the end of a very long aisle. They were in the very middle. I couldn’t go around on either side of them. I said, “Excuse me.” No one budged. I thought perhaps they didn’t hear me. I said it again a little louder. The man looked at me and went to move the cart, but the woman grabbed it and said to him, “When I’m done.” That’s when I became “done.” I walked over to their cart, shoving it aside and pointing to the man with her, I said, “He may have to wait until you’re ‘done,’ but I don’t! I’m ‘done’ being polite. Move it!” She stared at me dumbfounded, while he told her, “You deserved that.” She looked at him and said, “Shut up.” And I continued shopping.

Got a terrible migraine tonight, took a lot of medication so the headache was gone in the morning. I still felt like throwing up, but I did not want to stay home. In the hallway at work a woman walked in front of me who absolutely REEKED of sone terribly sweet perfume. That did not help with my already upset stomach...
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?
In Sweden there is a fine if you hug the left lane. Only problem iis that there is no one to enforce trafic laws.
People still don’t do it much here. It’s considered by most to be total asshòlerhy, thankfully.

American here and this infuriates me to no end. Also you if feel you cannot go faster than 40 on an interstate than baby maybe you shouldn’t be driving
Lane camping is a huge problem. On a 75 mph tollway, a 55 mph left lane camper is asking for road rage and accident.
Also, if you're flying in the left lane and someone is tailgating you, get over and let them pass, then get back in the left lane. Brake-checking at 80mph makes you the bigger AH
Absolutely. There is no speed in the left lane that means you don't have to yield. Doing 180 and someone wants to pass? Yield

This! I especially hate it when someone zooms past me, pulls in front of me and immediately slows down.
People who insist on changing lanes in front of you just before they make a turn.

Even worse when the driver in the left lane goes at the same speed as the vehicle in the right lane, and you're stuck behind them with no way out, and cars all tailgating behind you, it's so dangerous. What are they even thinking ?
In the US, the left lane is for fast driving. the middle is for passing/coasting at the speed limit and the right lane is generally for folks who go a little slower, trucks, people exiting off the highway, etc. It's not written anywhere that these are the rules but most people just know this. Every once in a while you get someone who's like 'it's not the law so I can do what I want' and they go 40 in the left lane of a 65 speed limit and cause huge backups in traffic just to be jerks. And one thing I hate here is how people drive right on your a*s, with almost no space between cars. If I have to brake quickly you're going to hit me. People who tailgate are the worst kinds of people. It's always some douchenozzle guy or a 20 year old girl who is paying literally no attention, right up on you and trying to scare you into going faster by flashing lights or swerving behind you. I go like 90 on the highway (the limit is 65-it's not like i'm going slow), I'm not going faster.
In some places in California, designated truck lanes at the far right are marked in particular steep parts.

I know that in Missouri & Kansas, on 4-lane highways, it's actually illegal to stay in the left lane. Left lane is strictly for passing, & the only exception is if the right lane is blocked. And I can guarantee that if the State Highway Patrol, or a Sheriff's patrol sees you, they *will* pull you over & give you a citation. It is different though once that highway enters a city or town, then the speed is reduced & you can drive in the left lane.
far as I know, it's illegal in most if not all states. hp just doesn't enforce it everywhere

Amen! Every morning driving to work, I have stretch of road (about 3 miles), with a magnificent view of Mt. Rainier ...I get in the right lane, set my cruise control to the speed limit and stay there. Let 'em pass me!
Unless you’re driving in the UK, then staying in the left lane unless overtaking is a good thing!
Here is the thing about using the left lane as passing. If everyone would follow the law, traffic would flow. You want to go fast, you pass the traffic on the left and then get back in the middle lane. Slow drivers are accommodated, fast drivers are accommodated. And the road system works. And it doesn't matter if nobody is up your butt. Stay out of the left lane. It affects the person 10 cars back who has to lane frog through the middle and right lanes to go around you. It's selfish and stupid to ride that lane. I would get a law that makes left lane hogs get fined $600. And set aside $100 of that to go into a pool that is split among the cops that write left lane tickets. The more left lane tickets you write, the greater the share of the pool money. You are a pure selfish a**hole if you ride in that lane.
if people didn't use the left lane on the highway here, no one would get anywhere. My biggest pet-peeve is when there is a carpool/HOV lane, that I as a single person can't use, and all the cars in the regular lanes have 2+ people in them. It drives me nuts, I lived an hour from my parents, I can't use the HOV, and yet I am stuck beside the same cars most of the way with 2+ people in them and they don't use the HOV.
Lol nothing stops you from using it. I see single occupant vehicles violate the lane every day.
Load More Replies... Yes, fellow Autobahn traveller here! Also, the 5 mph thing? To bust your balls by blocking you.
Too bad that's a picture of an HOV lane in CA. You stay in it until an approved exit or it ends. Cross that double yellow to get out or in and you will be $500 poorer...
I don't go under the speed limit, and I hate being in the merging lane.
Also, being in the left lane and brake checking is illegal and God help the a*****e who causes an accident with me for doing that.
Funny, those speeders scare the sh** out of me, so I always get over to the slow.
In Wisconsin there isn't actually a law against left lane squatters, but it drives me nuts. The only good reason to do that is if you have to make a left hand turn soon and traffic is too thick to move over safely close to the turnoff. That's how I feel anyway.
At the same time, if I'm going 15 miles over the limit in the left lane, and someone is on my tail or honking because he wants to go faster, I'm not obliged to break the law EVEN MORE for them. They can go around.
I'm in the US and this is one of my biggest pet peeves! It is a driving rule that all learn but it is not enforced or followed.
Haha no one dose this in America and some people drive like manics here when they know you can't go any faster makes me sick like screw you I ant wrecking I die for you, oh you've got kids in the car I see them why you acting like an idiot your gonna get yourself killed. I'm serious this women that was behind me road ony tail when she seen the vehicle in front me going the same speed and then tryed to turn on the next lane in front of vehicle that was already in that lane so she couldn't do but acted like she was going to this was on 75 like what the hell your endangering your life, your kids life and many other people life's. Wtf is your problem
Trouble is that some folk think the "passing" lane is the "speeding" lane
Please especially when there is a passing lane on a two lane highway. Unless you want to pass someone, you are the slower traffic.
Not in the UK. Or where I live. That sort of driving could get you killed. We're not all maniac, driving on the "wrong" side of the road.
I've seen a lot of Europeans make this comment, and not just on BP, but I think most of us US residents just don't know any better. The only reason I know is because I'm an internet information junkie. There are some areas in the States that have signs "left lane for passing only", but that's the exception.
Oh, right Lane hogging for the rest of the world who drives on the left!
Don't do that in the UK*. When you're there, keep to the left unless you're overtaking. * or any of the many other countries that drive on the left.
Was just going to say the same but you beat me to it

I'll go one step farther, on a 4 lane freeway (4 lanes each direction) lane a (the left lane) is for passing, lane b is slower, lane c is slower than b and lane d is the slowest. Don't drive slow in b, it causes people to lane change unnecessarily, and every lane change is an invitation to an accident,
It is traditional on the east coast of the US to always go 10 MPH slower in the left lane on all routes, forget the highway ;)
I live on east coast and these people drive me nuts!!!

It varies by state. In New York it's for driving but if you go to like Pennsylvania then it's for passing. Same thing with making a right turn at a red light or even turning left at a street light; even varies within the state too. In New York, unless otherwise noted, you can make a right turn at a red light except in Manhattan where you can't make right on red. In New Jersey I believe you can't turn left at the light, even if you have the right of way, but in New York you can unless there is a sign saying you can't. Traffic laws really vary state to state so always check them out before visiting
Left lane is also for when you are going to turn left in a few blocks. Mind, where I'm at, the left lane doesn't always move faster than the right lane. Everyone here thinks they can pass the cars in front of them, move out into the left lane, and soon both lanes are crowded.
The left lane thing is for highway travel, not the regular streets.

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.
I had my debit card declined at a gas station on a pay day, when my check was auto-deposited. Bank of America was right next door, so I popped inside. The teller very loudly berated me, saying my account had a hold put on it because I’d been “depositing” checks I’d written… immediately taking cash out of my account, knowing the checks were no good. The bank was giving me the cash, assuming the checks would clear. And I’d amassed more than $4000 this way. And the bank was going to press charges. By then, every customer in the lobby was staring at me, like I was scum of the Earth. Thoroughly embarrassed, I told the clerk to check again. Check MY account again. To look for those supposed deposit/withdrawals. Her face said it all. And in a low voice, that no one else could hear, she said, “I’m sorry. There’s obviously a mistake.” Loudly, I repeated, “YOU SAY YOU’RE MISTAKEN? IT’S NOT ME DOING THESE THINGS?” I withdrew all my money. Closed my account. And will not do business with them.
Scrolling through TikTok/Reels/whatever with your volume up in public or semi-public places (transit, waiting room, restaurant).
I hate this behavior. And what's up with walking around with the phone on speaker having a conversation? NO ONE cares what you are saying. Just put the phone to your ear like a normal civilized person.
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.
You “lose” a bet. You don’t “loose” a bet
I am so glad this is listed. It is my absolute number one pet peeve. Why is it so often wrong?!
Don’t wave me through the 4 way stop to “be nice”, just take your goddamn turn.
This, I dislike it when people give me the right of way when I don't have it. It confuses me and other road-users. I do not expect it, I expect I have to wait my turn, and then someone waves at me that I can go first, and I get confused and feel like I should hurry, and then if I go, I pay less attention to other stuff (like someone crossing the road next to me). There are exceptions - when it is really busy and you're on a side road, and there is no gap in sight to turn on the road as well. But not when there is no real need.
If you open the microwave before it's done clear the timer so the next person doesn't have to try 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.
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.
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.
It is a PIN, not a PIN number. PIN stands for personal identification number.
Just like it is an ATM, not an ATM machine.
Before placing a ziploc bag in the refrigerator or freezer, squeeze the air out of the bag. I don't know why my wife doesn't, and one day I'll have to make a choice.
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.
An apology should be used when you are genuinely sorry, not as absolution; it should also not be expected to be forgiven, either.
Edit: As a Canadian, I'll concede that I do use "sorry" several times a day in the most seemingly mundane of situations, but trust me; I am sorry I am in your way.
Don't reach over and honk the horn while I am driving.
Stop the car and kick them out. A passenger road raging on 'your behalf' is stupid and dangerous.
The checkout at the store should read "10 items or **fewer**"
If the item is counted, use "fewer." If the item is measured, use "less."
So many people, movies and TV shows misuse the phrase “divide and conquer”.
It doesn’t mean “to split up and attack on multiple fronts”, which is a horrible idea for military strategy on the grand scale of armies.
It means to divide your enemy, and conquer them one by one.
Cereal then milk. What kind of heathen would do it the other way around.
I can't stand every movie/game title or band/artist name being acronymized these days. What the hell is TLAT? SWTROS? When you say BTS are you talking about the musical group or behind the scenes of something? Its like learning a new language.
The Oxford comma.
If the earth was flat why don’t they have penthouses on the borders
If the Earth was flat there would be nothing at the border/edges because cats would have pushed it all off
In the business of dangling someone with a rope around their neck until they die, it's "hanged," not "hung."
"Begs the question" does not mean "raises the question" or "brings up the question," even though it's recently been used that way often.
It's a specific term for a logical fallacy (basically, circular reasoning) -- because rather than arguing the question, you are begging that it be conceded. "You're begging the question," means you're using the point you're trying to prove as an argument to prove that very same point.
Edit: Folks, I get it. "Raises the question," is now a common usage, language is determined by use, it's not prescriptive, etc etc. Please, let me refer to you to the title of this thread and ask you why you didn't *expect* shallow pedantry. If we can still get pissed about 'irregardless', we can still be annoyed by this.
Rudolph is not a core member of Santa's reindeer team. The song specifically says "then ONE foggy Christmas Eve... Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh TONIGHT."
why would Santa risk being noticed with a red light of a nose if he didn't need to? Rudolph is like the brights on your car, you only need them when you need to.
That was just the beginning. Rudolph was with them after that point every Christmas Eve, because Santa's no dummy. I don't need fog at night to put my headlights on. It just has to be dark. Then Rudolph and Clarice had kids and a couple of them had the same birth defect, so today Rudy Jr. is guiding the sleigh. Duh. rudolph-an...fca4ed.jpg
