Warm water. It's a thing from somewhere in Asia, and I know the countries vastly different, but this is second hand knowledge from someone I trust who saw them pouring hot water on cornflakes in the mini kitchen.

Adults who make a very big deal about their own birthdays. I work with a guy who talked about his "birthday month" this year, where his wife got him a gift every day for 30 days leading up to his birthday. That's psycho poo poo to me, he's a 41 year old man with children.

Ask me about that time I told people mixing bleach and vinegar is okay
Judge not lest ye be judged.

On LED headlights, I hated them but they came on my new car and drat I can see way better than my wife's car's headlights.
Her brights aren't near as illuminating as my low lights and it'll save my rear end from a hitting a deer or low visibility night jogger someday, you'll see!

I hate people that can't learn new things or hate being proven wrong.

If I am wrong I would like to know and I even feel bad about sharing the wrong info to people in the past and think about correcting my mistake and/or letting those people know.

Also just because Uncle Terry or whoever told you something 20 years ago it's not the gospel truth. You don't have to never grow, learn or change. i.e People still relying on like old imperfect science where they have since made new strides or telling you weightlifting advice from 40 years ago.

We do "birthday week" where basically the other person doesn't need to lift a finger for chores or food making and whatnot.

And then little stuff on that just like cleaning the tub, pouring a nice bath for them with the bath sphere things and getting it all set up, checking the temp is right, put in the bath holder thingy with wine and their tablet to watch whatever, then leaving them in peace as long as they like.

No need for demanded gifts, it's all shared finances, you both can just buy a thing whenever you want and are not being crazy stupid about it.

Just treat them extra nice, seems to work.

Hell, I literally forgot it was my birthday last time until told. Okay, great, I'm a year closer to death. Thanks for the heads up.

I worked with a guy that would say “use” as “nuse” all the time. “Can you nuse the ice bath to cool this thing please?”
Probably wasn’t his fault, but it was one of many many minor irritating things about working with him. He also made loud smacky eating noises and constantly left cupboard doors open.

Being super into “Norse” culture

When people leave out a necessary "to be" from a sentence, as in: "The car needs washed."

SAME.

For example the classic support ticket: "printer needs fixed," pisses me off to no end. It should be either, "needs to be fixed," (formal) or, "needs fixing," (informal). I view the people that submit "x needs y" tickets as subhuman, incapable of higher level communication.

Ticket needs submitted.
Tacos needs eated.
Tires needs changed.
Persons needs gets to stores before closes.

See how stupid that sounds? No? Okay...
Lifepuzzler needs calm down.

Also people who say, "seen," instead of, "saw," when referring to when they used their eyeballs to view something in the past.

It's probably a different story if you lived in a Scandinavian country or something. But yeah I agree, I'm also going to be suspect of a guy with a Thor's hammer pendant.

Usually they make it pretty easy though, it's rarely just the one dogwhistle. A guy with just the Thor's hammer I might hear out, but if he's got on a pair of Doc Martens with red laces, a bomber jacket and a Fred Perry polo with the gold fringe, he's not coming into the bar.

teen witch tips:
Inside Scandinavia is p normal and more often they’re just huge nerds (but obviously, use context clues, cause there are still Nazis). my partner has a ton of Nordic tattoos, and a ton of his friends do as well, it’s kinda whatever.

Outside Scandinavia, look for exits and implements.

Sorry but this is wrong. A printer does not "need to be fixed" unless the printer does not exist. It already is. It does not need to be. It just needs fixed.
