* Wow. Humans suck.
* You know what I hate? People who make lists of other people’s habits.
* What happened to “Don’t sweat the small stuff”?
* “The feel of chalk”? Chalk is a mineral in nature. You’re going to have to take this one up with God.
* People who seal a ziplock bag without removing the air first? Sorry, but that’s just nitpicking.
