Hills I will die on

I read nemecle's Hills (I will die on) then Kami's completely inconsequential pet peeves. So here is a selection of completely inconsequential hills I will die on.

Mowing the lawn is a scam - the 'mower' just flattens the grass so it looks shorter.

People growing more than one courgette plant should be fined.

If something is worth doing it's worth doing badly.

Don't pull onto a junction or roundabout if you can't get off it. Just wait.

Mrs Bennet was in her early forties, probably suffered from postnatal depression, and was desperately trying to ensure a reasonable future for her children that her useless husband had completely neglected.

Mary Shelley probably had a relationship with her dead husband's mistress.

Wicked the musical is so different from the book they should have just made an entirely different thing, sparing us book fans a lot of angst and disclaimers.

Approximately a hundred and twenty hills regarding a certain film. Not only will I die on these hills, I'll set them on fire myself.

Apple products are horribly designed, actually. I find my Mac borderline unusable.

The occasions on which full beam is truly necessary are very, very rare.

A 'mushroom burger' that consists of a mushroom with some toppings in between bread is actually a mushroom sandwich. Doesn't mean it's not delicious, but it's not a burger. Ditto falafel 'burger'.

Comic sans is not a bad font. It was overused but it's not bad.

Toilet roll should be hung over, else you are scratching away at the wall to get at it.

Percent is properly written 'per cent' but no one does and doing so makes me look like the incorrect one.

Gentleman Jack wasn't unreasonably cancelled. It had run its narrative course by the end of the first season, never mind the second.

Fluffy soft towels are horrible and don't get you properly dry. A good towel is crunchy and stiff as a board.

I'm sure there are more. Many, many more.
