To ask for your hill you will die on? LIGHTHEARTED

As per the meme ‘I will die on this hill’ what are your lighthearted hills you’re willing to die on?

Mine:

Phoebe Buffay is the worst friends character. She is not kooky, she’s mean, selfish and always looking for ways to put the other friends down. Everyone is too busy hating Ross to realise Phoebe is a cock. I will die on this hill.

I don’t make the rules! Makes sense if you are right handed and want to hold the rail.

FourPlasticRings · 08/05/2020 22:50

Not really. Most people can manage holding a rail with their non-dominant hand. They manage it pretty well on staircases.

It would be quicker for everyone on average but it takes away the walking-faster-than-everyone-else option for those of us who currently use the left hand side Grin

FourPlasticRings · 08/05/2020 22:55

True, but then you're delaying the many at the expense of the more mobile few. People don't like change, of course, so the convention will probably be to stand on the right forever more, but it is a silly rule.

FourPlasticRings · 08/05/2020 22:55

*delaying the many for the benefit of theore mobile few.

FourPlasticRings · 08/05/2020 22:56

*the more

FFS, I should just go to bed.

BrightYellowDaffodil · 08/05/2020 22:57

Did we miss the 'lighthearted' bit in the title?

FourPlasticRings · 08/05/2020 23:01

No. The FFS was directed at my repeated typos and was meant light-heartedly but the Grin emoji didn't seem appropriate.

Rabbits are better than dogs. Dogs are better than cats.

Most vegans are irritating.

You can do a good deed without posting about it on social media.

FourPlasticRings · 08/05/2020 23:31

What sort of rabbit?

LunchBoxPolice · 08/05/2020 23:33

The four legged kind. Ideally with floppy ears.

FourPlasticRings · 08/05/2020 23:39

Floppy eared ones are better. We had a non-floppy eared white one that was basically the rabbit off Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Milk only goes in once the teabag is out...

Re standing on the Tube.

I've read about the experiment that ( I think) was only carried out at one station. It was hard to get people to break the habit of a lifetime and stand on both sides, but it was found to increase the overall flow of people.

BUT each individual who stands will only save a couple of minutes. Each individual who wants to walk, either because they're in a hurry or because they are trying to be healthy and stay active, will get increasingly irritated (and probably stressed) at being stuck behind others.

As most people choose to stand still on the tube, they can't be in much of a rush and the extra couple of minutes they saved wouldn't make much difference to them.

Ergo, we should keep the status quo and NO-ONE and NOTHING should block the left hand side.

The Matrix was breathtakingly boring.
The word hero is over used.
Marmalade is horrible.

steppemum · 10/05/2020 12:58

sets up a hill next to Adoptthisdogornot

Marmalade is the food of the gods, and all strawberry jam should be thrown in the sea.

Tea is only made in a pot.

That’s my hill to die on.

FloraGreysteel · 10/05/2020 13:10

Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer is fucking annoying.

Giggorata · 10/05/2020 13:11

Tea should be made in a pot. That is all.

Giggorata · 10/05/2020 13:11

Ooo snap!

I can't speak for the others, but the gradient of the escalators and their height, combined with the weird way the adverts along the sides were hung, made me feel dizzy. If I'd have tried to run/walk, I'd have fallen. Doesn't mean I wouldn't have enjoyed a more efficient journey.

CandyLeBonBon · 15/05/2020 02:32

Tea only tastes good if the milk goes in first

Lemononachair · 15/05/2020 22:30

Swede and parsnips are both disgusting and have no place on a roast dinner! *hides

Beebers111 · 16/05/2020 09:13

I have quite a large mountain range;

I would be utterly appalled if any of my children wanted to go on Love Island I feel I would have failed at parenting.

I despise the Toried but Dominic Raab looks like he would be an excellent fuck.

Miranda, Mrs Browns Boys and Ant and Dec aren’t funny.

If a woman had behaved the way Ant did he would have been run out of town.

I don’t understand what non-binary is. I don’t wake up every day and day I feel like a woman. I wake up get dressed and go about my business.

There are loads more, god there are loads.
