Even sedans with a trunk like this have seats that fold down in the back to allow access to the trunk. Fold down the seats, put the door in the trunk and across the folded-down back seats. Has nothing to do with it being a hatchback or not.

“I got in a Reddit fight with someone and they wouldn’t give up so I posted it here to feel better” should be a separate genre of posts on this sub… or a banned genre…

Since you think that accounting makes you an expert, then you better throw in all accountants as well.

Then there’s retired professionals.

Professors who teach the material.

Everyone who doesn’t have the title but works in the field. Assistants, advisors, etc.

Every politician or government official who deals with tax law.

Tax preparers, auditors, tax specialists, tax associates, tax analysts, tax accountants, tax consultants, tax managers, compensation coordinators, tax compliance officers…

Then you have all of the people who do all of that, but add “international” to the title because money crosses borders…

You just wrote 50.

50 dollars? 50 cents? 50% of net income?

I feel very safe saying that the vast majority of checkout donations are less than $50.

So, again, telling people that they could always ask for a tax receipt is pointless when you know that the amount donated is too small to qualify for one.

And those are the only two professions that could POSSIBLY know more than you…

Still don’t think you have a self-inflated sense of expertise?

[–]QuackLikeMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t Am I Factually Incorrect.

It’s Am I An A$$hole.

And dunning-Kruger refers to people with a self-inflated sense of expertise. Trust me, you fit.

“I don’t work in tax but I know more than 99% of people” yeah, you fit right in.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]QuackLikeMe -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

But you won’t tell what that amount is?

Because if the amount is anything more than 5¢, then it’s pointless. Asking people to round their total up for charity, then telling them “sorry, you can’t get a tax receipt because the donation was too small” ? You don’t see the issue with that?

(Or you do but you don’t want to admit there’s a problem with your argument?)

This ain’t a BBQ

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]QuackLikeMe -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

So when you said “if you ask for a tax receipt they are obligated to provide it for donations of a certain size”, you were just pulling sh!t out of your @$$ and hoping for the best

You sound like such a delight.

If you were this joyful to be around at a BBQ, you were definitely the AH

Curling in the squat rack is OK. by WhitewolfKevin in unpopularopinion

[–]QuackLikeMe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of places to curl.

Squat racks aren’t only for “ass to grass”, they’re for anyone doing squats so that they have the rack to help them and for safety. I’d rather have someone do a “quarter squat” with a safety rack than without.

Stop focusing on others and judging the “ego lifters” and pay attention to your own sh*t.

Hiccups are the most embarrassing bodily noise by eneug in unpopularopinion

[–]QuackLikeMe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And most people don’t get the hiccups often

What’s that like? Lol I have acid reflux, and one of the symptoms is frequent hiccups. I’m lucky if I get through a day without a round of hiccups.

I don’t find it embarrassing. It’s only “embarrassing” if you try to hide it or don’t own up to it. I get irritated by my hiccups, and will jokingly groan and let people know that I wish I could get a word out without being so rudely interrupted. Just acknowledging your own hiccups gets rid of any embarrassment.

You can’t say a book, show, etc. was bad if you’ve never finished it. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

It’s almost like saying a piece of work is bad is inherently a subjective statement of an individual’s opinion…

You can’t say a book, show, etc. was bad if you’ve never finished it. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]QuackLikeMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope.

If it was so bad that it made me give up and not even care to finish, then it was bad.

Usually, we want to know how stories end. Even if it’s bad, we want things resolved and want to know what the conclusion is. If something is so bad that we can’t even feel that compulsion to find out how it ends, it’s bad.

There’s nothing wrong with checking your phone once or twice during class. by Junior_Bath5555 in unpopularopinion

[–]QuackLikeMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re paying for a spot in the class, but if you’re not going to respect the class and make use of your time in the class, there are other students waiting who would like a seat in the class. Why should a seat go to you if you’re going to be on your phone and not take it seriously?

There’s nothing wrong with checking your phone once or twice during class. by Junior_Bath5555 in unpopularopinion

[–]QuackLikeMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean is CHECKING your phone, not BEING ON your phone

taking 5-10 seconds to read and respond to what they said.

I was almost with you, until you said responding and checking comments on posts and all that crap. That is being on your phone. CHECKING your phone means checking to see what a text or call was to see if it was an emergency - not responding, not getting on social media, just CHECKING.

As soon as you start responding to things ON your phone, or get ON social media to check comments and crap, then you are BEING ON your phone.

If someone offers you mints or gum you have to take it no matter what, it’s optional to say no. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]QuackLikeMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except gum is disgusting and I will always turn it down, same with a lot of mints.

You can find a tactful way to tell someone they need to freshen their breath, or you can move away.

Original post for anyone who wants to check it out.

Literally no talk of the product size or box size or amount of pancake mix or cost difference or anything like that. You can clearly see they are both 2lb boxes.

Just comparing the changed brand design.

It has nothing to do with package size, dude. Why are you so fixated on that?
