Pet Peeves

It has occurred to me that I have too many of them. Peeves, that is. I can't take care of all of them as pets. What I really have is a colony of feral peeves. I can try to TNR them but there just keep being more.

Up today: When a product has a built in zipper closure, but it's not sealed adequately to the rest of the bag, so when you try to open the zipper it comes off from the side and you have to end up finding another way to close the bag anyway.

To 2024

 Sometimes, as I'm browsing the internet, I come across someone saying something that is just plain wrong. I don't mean I disagree with them, I mean they are saying false things. Things they could look up and be set right in just moments, but they're not doing that. I'm talking something like identifying Art Nouveau as Art Deco. This is something that, in the grand scheme of things, doesn't matter, but there's a world of difference between the two styles, and it's something that's just so easy to learn!

I want to learn how to not get so frustrated when something is wrong about something, for the sake of my mental well-being.

But I also want to learn how to correct people when they're wrong without seeming smug or combative. Like, how do I do this? How do I be the change, etc.?
