20+ People share their tiniest but strongest-held opinions

Whenever this question floats around the r/AskReddit sub, it warms my heart: What is the smallest hill you're willing to die on? The question invites commenters to share their tiniest opinion that they hold very strongly. The answers are pretty lighthearted, and they're always hilarious! It's intriguing to see what bugs people - like one person who really hates the sound almonds make, or another who declared red delicious apples as "trash."

Others were pretty concerned about traffic issues. One person mentioned that at 4-way stops, you shouldn't be polite, but instead just go when it's your turn. If only every driver followed that rule, the roads would be in much better shape. 

Once you figure out your own "small hill opinion," read about this entitled woman who had an unsavory reasoning for wanting to dump her longterm partner. 

Woman's 'transaction nightmare' of a husband starts charging for the room she uses to work from home

Is this dude serious? He's trying to charge his wife 30% of her wages because she uses a room in their house as her 'work from home' office. Yes, this was his house prior to their marriage, but he had agreed early on to let her use their second bedroom as a home office. To go back on that arrangement so suddenly is concerning, to say the least.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Emil536775, and let's just say that the ruthless judges of the AITA community were crystal clear about what the original poster should do next: leave him. Clearly, this marriage is more of a transaction to him than anything else, and clearly, he is not taking into account all the work she puts into their place (i.e. doing all the house chores). The moment he brought up this conversation became the beginning of the end.

'The softness of a cucumber allows you to be extra expressive on the drums': 30 Musical instruments infused with majorly chaotic energy

From kazoos to recorders to those single drums that you can carry in a backpack, most kids grow up playing some kind of instrument. Say an extra thank you to your parents today if you recall playing a xylophone before school (for practice!) or playing "Smoke on the Water" on the bass until everyone in the house needed pairs of earplugs. Not all of us can be musical prodigies, but that didn't stop the folks below from trying! They've created some truly weird instrument fails - keep scrolling to absorb the utter chaos of these musical objects.

Pathological Liar Goes So Far That He Gets Cut Off By His Brother

Talk about not being your brother's keeper! This guy learned early on that his brother was a pathological liar, but after years and years of being ignored by his parents about it and being subjected to several serious lies, he decided to cut his brother off.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmiTheA**hole subreddit by u/This-War7732, and well, the drama did not stop there. The original poster goes on to explain what happened to his brother after their falling out, including his brother's marriage, further lies that he told at work and in his family life, and his currently unstable situation with his kids. Clearly, these lies have gone too far, and it's not the Redditor's responsibility to take this on. However, the brother definitely has a problem that needs work.

Welcome to this edition of Top Tinder Moments, a collection of some of the wildest trending moments and fails from the wild world of online dating. 

When you venture out into the untamed wilderness of dating apps, it's impossible to say who — or what — you're going to encounter, so it's best to be on your guard. You could run into someone who is celebrating a birthday and has ironically revealed how untruthful they are about their age; you could come across an OF model who is essentially posting a job interview on their profile; or you could just unearth any of the never-ending myriad of other liars, jokers, ghosters, insulters, and dick-pick-senders that have made the world of online dating their home.

'Revenge Is Best Served Cold' : Neighbor Get's What He Deserves After Repeatedly Destroying Siblings Snowman

Have you ever had one of those neighbors that just can't seem to mind their own business? The kind of person who would purposely try to ruin something that you worked hard at? If you're a kid, that might be a snowman. Remember how hard we all worked at those? In movies, it looks like the easiest thing in the world to create one of those little monstrosities, but in real life, that is far from the truth.

 

It takes a lot of effort. Your hands nearly freeze off by the time you're done with it. And who knew that carrots actually had to be bought, and didn't grow on trees? AND WHAT ABOUT THE BUTTONS? Why does nobody mention those?! Where are you supposed to get a bunch of big, obvious buttons for your snowman's fake coat? Let's assume you've somehow made it to the end, and the result is amazing. You look at your snowman and beam proudly.

 

And then… someone ruins it. Some people insist on being crappy human beings and there's nothing you can do about it… until of course, you are handed the perfect opportunity. Revenge is best served cold, as the old saying goes, and that certainly applies to this situation. While scouring r/pettyrevenge, we happened upon a perfectly petty post by u/XxFireflyxxX that at first brought back some good ol' memories, and ended with us (and a lot of Redditers) smiling. Scroll down to read about the inspiring way he and his sister handled their awful neighbor.

'I hope this addresses your concern': Employee asks HR why new employees are getting paid more, gets ridiculous response

It's as if HR has become a parody of itself! This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/GeorgeClooneysMom (what a username, she's definitely not his actual mom though we can certainly dream, can't we?). The employee in question recognized that new hires were getting paid significantly more.

 

When they brought it up to HR, it became clear that this is not the first time they have received these types of questions. In fact, their e-mail response was so carefully crafted that it is quite obvious this employee is not alone with regard to their concerns. Best solution? That would be to up and leave. As many people in the comments suggest, the best way to get a proper raise in this climate is to switch jobs. I wish that weren't the case, but that's just the current state of things.
