Everyone in this world has the right to hold an opinion. Though, some people tend to hold their opinions too tight sometimes – so tight that they wouldn’t let it go at any cost!
When someone on Reddit asked, “What is the smallest, pettiest hill you’ll still die on?”, people shared some of the most trivial opinions and beliefs they would even bet their life on. Scroll below to read them.

When a kid has a birthday, only HE gets to blow out the candles! It INFURIATES me to my very soul when I see other kids try to blow them out. The only thing worse is when adults LET THEM.

Before placing a ziploc bag in the refrigerator or freezer, squeeze the air out of the bag. I don’t know why my wife doesn’t, and one day I’ll have to make a choice.
#5 “Divide And Conquer”
Image source: Bjeaurn, Hans Splinter
So many people, movies and TV shows misuse the phrase “divide and conquer”.
It doesn’t mean “to split up and attack on multiple fronts”, which is a horrible idea for military strategy on the grand scale of armies.
It means to divide your enemy, and conquer them one by one.

Bank of America charged me $2 for a miscellaneous charge, in 1997. I called to ask what it was for because there was no reason. The lady on the phone said, well, I can’t tell you because it is miscellaneous. I asked her to then please reverse it and she refused.
I pulled all three of my accounts from them and moved them to a credit union and ever since, full stop refuse to have a damn thing with that company.
#9 Acronymized Band Names

I can’t stand every movie/game title or band/artist name being acronymized these days. What the hell is TLAT? SWTROS? When you say BTS are you talking about the musical group or behind the scenes of something? Its like learning a new language.

#15 Adding Apostrophe S At The End Of A Word Doesn’t Make It Plural

Adding ‘s at the end of a word does not make it plural.
I’ve seen it in ads. I’ve seen it on signs. I’ve even seen it on a flyer someone wrote advertising their services as a writer.
People walk around like it’s normal! Out in the street! Saying that they have 14 chicken’s! Like monsters!
I will die on this hill over and over until my assembled corpses make it into a slightly bigger hill.

#23 Use The Left Lane For Passing, And Then Get Back Into The Right Lane
Image source: ellygator13, Thank You (22.5 Millions+) views
Use the left lane for passing and then get back into the doggone right lane. Grew up in Germany where that’s enforced on the Autobahn. American left lane hogs drive me nuts, especially when they go five miles under the speed limit. What’s the friggin’ point?

If you open the microwave before it’s done clear the timer so the next person doesn’t have to try figure out why it’s not starting.
