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"

Here here. And I know some modern word processors already put a slightly larger space after a sentence, but it isn't two full spaces and that mostly only happens in non-monospace fonts where a space character is barely a gap to start with. Two full spaces after every sentence. Yes even in SMS where there is a character limit. If I can't fit what I want to say properly then I'm not saying it and these damn kids can rot in their unintelligible run-on looking dribble.
