We all have an opinion on how things should be done, as well as little ticks get on our nerves, if not outright make our skin crawl.

When someone doesn't agree with this opinion or exhibits the exact behavior which makes us tick, it's usually easy enough to let bygones be bygones, and get over it.

Of course, there are extreme exceptions to this, and sometimes we simply find ourselves unable to accept someone else's different opinion, and will not tolerate when people do certain things.

No matter how petty others may find it.


Redditor HallZac99 was curious to hear the petty little opinions which people will never, under any circumstances, be swayed from, leading them to ask:
"What is the smallest, pettiest hill you'll still die on?"

I Will ALWAYS Dispute That Charge!

"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."- Handbag_Lady

We'Ve. Been Pronouncing It Wrong For Years!

"The way you pronounce SACAGAWEA."

"So many people say 'SAK-a-ja-wee-ah' but it’s 'sah-KAH-gah-wee-ah'."

"Even tribal folk are split on how to pronounce it but I’m sticking to my guns on on 'Sah Kah gah wee ah'."- IBeatUpLiamNeeson

"The pronunciation of Neckarsulm."

"It's a city in Germany, right by the river Neckar."

"There's also another city just called Ulm."

"Ergo, this city is the Ulm of the Neckar, or Neckar's Ulm."

"Neckars-Ulm."

"People pronounce it Neckar-Sulm."

"Drives me f*cking nuts every time I hear it on the radio."- MJmishmash

"Wait your turn....at least act like the responsible adult you are supposed to be."- thenextchapter28

Everyone Has An Opinion

"Paul pierce was extremely overrated and mediocre."- Marywonna

A Surprising Lack Of Logic

"The fact that you need to carry a pen/pencil for international flights to fill out the customs form on the plane."

"I was on a flight in May this year and upon realizing we had to fill the form out before descent, I asked the flight attendant for a pencil."

"She looked at me like I had four eyes and proceeded to inform me she doesn’t have one."

"Looking around, other people on the flight were asking her for one as well."

"For the life of me, I don’t understand why there is an expectation to pack something to write with on an international flight."

"I am not thinking of packing a pencil on my 2 week vacation to Aruba where I will proceed to not use it the entire time."

"If it’s standard to fill these forms out on flights, the flight crew should very reasonably be expected to lend passengers a pen or a pencil."- pascalgoz

We all have something which will get on our nerves till the bitter end.

All we can do is take a deep breath, and hope for change.

And maybe make sure we don't find ourselves doing that very thing to others...

Tom Cruise Looks Virtually Unrecognizable In Trailer For New Film About Eccentric Billionaire

We've seen some incredible examples of immersive acting and method acting that took projects to a whole new place, like Heath Ledger's Joker in The Dark Knight and Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant.

The latest example, which is reminding some of an elderly Biff Tannen from Back to the Future, is Tom Cruise's portrayal of the fictional character Digger Rockwell, a wealthy oil tycoon who must help undo the harm that he's created for the planet and its people.
