The world is cruel and ugly. There are plenty of justifiable things to be upset and distraught over. I don’t want to hear about those. I want to know what bizarre out of left field takes you have that infuriates you.

I’m still upset about Tenochtitlan falling and being buried. I’m a gringo, I shouldn’t have an opinion about Lake Texcoco being drained centuries ago.

      That ring of glue and plastic and foil on top of bottle caps is so infuriating, gee thanks another wee bit of plastic that could end up in my body accidentally

      There’s a wonderful bit of fiction writing where an armourer (I think, it’s been a while) had that exact thought: paper never tears where the holes are, it only tears between the holes. Therefore, the holes must be stronger than the paper. Therefore, to strengthen a material, add (impervious) holes. Ultimately, the strongest material is all holes.

      Glass bottles/jars sealed with plastic

      Everything listed is valid but this one stands above the rest by a lot personally. Fucking hate this practice.

      Any product that is perforated to tear easily, 9 times out of 10 they fucked it up and the perforations may as well not even be there or even make it worse

      Interesting — I’ve always assumed that this was deliberate, in order to increase waste (and thereby sales). Do you really think that it’s because of something innocuous like incompetence or inattention?
