Man I tell ya what really pets my peeve…when a box of cereal is opened/stored any way other than how I do it.

what is your approach

Glad you asked, kk.
Let’s start with the opening of the box. Open with care. Tab and slot integrity is paramount.
Next, opening the bag. Really no need to open it more than 1/3 the length. It will pour fine. No Need to pull that bad boy open end to end like some mongo.
 Next, don’t roll the bag closed after. I mean unless you know you aren’t opening it back up for a while but if that’s the case just like, get a new box of cereal.
And finally, closing. Insert tab A into slot B that you took care to preserve when opening the box the first time.
I open the bag 100% or greater. The very practical reason for this is that I will eat 90% of the contents dry with my fist.

With a messy toddler who needs her lunch packed in Tupperware for daycare every day…we’ve resigned ourselves to running the dishwasher every night.

I hope for his sake it is.  He can’t handle it here.

My understanding is he's allowed to post. He's just voluntarily abstained.

Ms. WW never completely finishes her plate. There is always some sauce or tiny bits of food left. I'm always "finishing" her plate before doing this dishes. IDK why this bothers me but it does.
Sometimes I think of the Book of Job and how God likes to really eff with people.

I do the same as Ms. WW. It's a reminder that I don't *have* to eat everything on my plate.

I grew up dirt poor, so the idea of wasting food kills me. My wife didn’t grow up poor, and our kids haven’t, so they all throw crap away on the daily

Sorry if covered already, itt but what is wrong with people who insist on putting their carryon suitcases in the overhead bin horizontally instead of vertically? There is a sign that explicitly shows how to do it the right way.

Probably ran into 3 of them this week. Also one girl just holding her phone playing music from its shitty speakers.

You’re upset she doesn’t finish the sauce? Do you have bread with every meal or do you like literally lick the plate clean?

Not a pet peeve, but I'm always confounded by the super clean and fragrant smelling people on the trail. I usually reek.
