For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don't want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That's ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use "less" when they should use "fewer"

If someone offers you something you don't want, simply say no thank you. Don't say "no I don't like that" as if you are 4.

    Problem is this more often than not results in "awwww come on, why not?"

    So many of us NDs have developed the method of explaining why we decline when we do so to just avoid the point. No, I'm not feeling that right now, thanks anyway! Works wonders
