People Are Sharing The Small Hills They Are Willing To Die On, And I Think The Comment Section Will Need To Be Deleted

Recently, I asked the BuzzFeed Community to share a small hill they are willing to die on. The results have convinced me that we are all driven by our own convictions, no matter how insignificant they may seem to others:

1."I am not a GIRL. The boobs grew, and I am now a WOMAN."

—rebeteh

2."I refuse to pump my own gas. I don't care if people call me spoiled or an elitist; I won't subject myself to the smell, the germs on the handles, the possible compromise of the info on my credit card, or the danger of standing outside my car for an extended time. It's worth the extra money for me (lucky Oregonians — by law, they ONLY have full service!)."

3."NICKELBACK IS A GREAT (yes, I said it, great) BAND."

—Anonymous, 30

4."If you choose to sit outside while eating/drinking, you do not get to complain when some insect ends up in your food or drink. You don’t get another for free."

—dorasmarmy

5."Grease 2 is and always will be better than Grease!"

—pengispoon81

6."You don't have to forgive anybody you don't want to. If it's really going to help you to do that, you should, but it's 110% ok not to do that and to die with your grudges — forgiveness doesn't wipe away the pain and anger sometimes, so curse them until your last breath, I say."

—bittawit_45

7."Texting should only be used for short one-sentence (maximum 2) messages of absolute necessity. Real phone conversations happen live, one-to-one, using VOICES!!!!"

—Anonymous, 57

8."We do not need Daylight Saving Time. As a longtime chronic insomniac, I know that the days don’t need our help getting longer and shorter."

—certified_drapetomaniac

9."My people, it is and will always be car-a-mel, not car-mel. Give me an example of literally any other word where an a is silent like that. That’s what I thought—you can’t."

—snowmageddon07

10."That thing you stand behind and put your notes on when giving a speech is called a LECTERN, NOT a podium. A podium is a raised dais upon which a speaker stands."

—supersealion65

11."Pineapple doesn't belong on pizza."

—starcrossedloversagain

12."The petty hill I’ll die on is arguing over pineapple on pizza is f*cking stupid. Just eat what you like. Who the hell cares?"

—Anonymous, 18

13."There's pumpkin carving, which is when you cut shapes out of a pumpkin. And then there's pumpkin sculpting, when you remove the skin and scrape 3-dimensional shapes with the pulp. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING!"

—crafty_gm

14."When people start sentences with 'To tell you the truth….' When you do not provide that advisory, are you lying?"

—trendywalrus99

15."A hot dog is a kind of taco, and you will never convince me otherwise."

—Anonymous, 40

16."Aaliyah will always be No. 1 over Beyonce."

—Anonymous, 36

17."Wattpad isn't necessarily bad. It's some people on it. The amount of actually incredible books I've seen there, that are better than some published books is incredible."

—Anonymous, 17

18."Bags of chips and popcorn should NOT be served during professional developments/meetings. We are in a forced proximity where the audience is quiet (to listen to the presenter), and the snacks are so loud and annoying."

—Anonymous, 37

19."It’s a Pork Roll. Not Taylor Ham."

—cherylr42b3111e1

20."Read the damn privacy policy on everything. Don't just download and install an app or service because it is popular or makes things easier...Protect yourself and your info from being used against you to make other companies money while you give all of it away for no gain on your end."

—Anonymous, 38

21."Dogs belong on furniture and in beds. They spend their lives trying to make us happy. We can at least offer them comfort."

—peacefulpenguin58

22."Cold brew is inefficient, wasteful, and unnecessary. Just brew coffee and put it in the fridge."

—anewfan2018

23."Everyone is just pretending to like steak. I grew up in a vegetarian home and started eating meat only in my late teens, and I swear I never ate a steak that was even remotely tasty. I tried many times in many different places (even in high-end restaurants), and they all taste like nothing and feel like a rubber sole."

—orenlevko1

24."People who correct 'grammar' on the internet are often more annoying than those who make the mistakes. They get so smug about it, and it's obnoxious. Don't be that guy as long as you can understand what the person is trying to communicate. This is coming from someone who has a degree in writing. (This does not apply to professional news outlets, etc. I mean things like Facebook comments and all that.)"

—Anonymous, 30

25."Stop signs are dumb and pointless and could all be replaced by a yield sign. If you aren't paying attention, a stop sign makes no difference, and if you are paying attention, yielding is sufficient."

—lexiv

26."Nobody should ever blow their nose in the hearing of another person. Dismiss yourself to the bathroom or anywhere else out of earshot. No one wants to hear the sound of snot and boogers hitting the tissue or honking your nose."

—Anonymous, 30

27."'I could care less' should never have been adopted as an acceptable alternative to 'I couldn't care less.' It doesn't make any sense!"

—ultimatefangirl12

28."If you are calling to get information, BE PREPARED TO WRITE STUFF DOWN!!! And don't tell the person with said information your whole life story. I just need to know what information you're looking for; I don't need to know why, and I don't want to listen to you hollering for a pen and paper."

—Anonymous, 54

29."Alcohol is disgusting. I don't get the appeal. Why? It's literally poison that your liver filters out of your body. It's a common disinfectant in medical spaces and labs. I get using it in cooking or baking, but drinking alcohol, especially straight alcohol, is gross."

—Anonymous, 31

30."Don't use your speakers on public transit. Whether it's for a phone call, a video, or music, you're forcing everyone to listen to it while they're trapped on a bus or subway they probably have no choice but to take. You're not the main character, dude! Use some headphones!"

—Anonymous, 35

31."Condiments are gross. Hot dogs and fries and everything are honestly perfect the way they are. Why ruin it?"

—Anonymous, 17

32."When people say 'You're welcome' after you say thank you after they give you a compliment, it's SO annoying. I want to tell them to shut up because I don't want you to have the end of that conversation. And wtf am I supposed to say after 'you're welcome'? I will die on this."

—Anonymous, 19

33."It WAS, IS, and ALWAYS will be Star Wars. Not 'Episode IV.' Not A New Hope. STAR WARS. Thank you very much."
