Mounds I Would Be Injured Upon
Saw a post⤻ about seeing another post about "hills to die on". I liked the idea and thought I'd make my own list for a laugh. They're not so big, and I'm not so willing to fight to the death for them, so these are the "Mounds I would be injured upon".
No pets on furniture. Not on my sofa. Not on my bed. If I want to hang out with my dog/cat, I will go to them. I don't need them to come to me. Especially if they're going to bring loose hair with them everywhere.
Along those same lines, do not let your dog "kiss" you on the mouth. Yuck. Kissing people is bad enough if you really think about it. You're gonna let a dog, whose diet includes the stuff you're too grossed out by to scrape off the bottom of your shoe, put its tongue on your face?
No eating in the car. Snacks, ok. But I'm never going to eat something that was cooked. I don't want the smell permeating my car's upholstery, let alone the threat of spills. I can vacuum crumbs, much tougher to clean sauces/drinks.
Owl City's (in)famous Fireflies⤻ deserved less hate. It may have been annoying and overplayed at the time, but having not listened to it in probably 10 years, it's not that bad (maybe that's nostalgia, but my only memories of the song were hating it at the time).
Have two of everything. "Two is one, and one is none" as the saying goes. Redundancy is key. If it's media, have a physical and a digital copy. If it's technology, have a working backup (old phone, old computer, etc) that you can press into service should your primary get stolen/broken/decide to quit one day. Cars... ok maybe you don't need two cars. But most everything else.
Ok that's all I've got for now.
