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”

      Homer once explained it to his daughter Lisa. If you’re jealous, it means you are scared that someone else might take away what you already have. Being envious means that you want to have what somebody else has.

        To add to this, jealous is for example when you are afraid your partner will dump you for someone else.

        Oof… My language doesn’t differentiate between types of envy, we have one word. So I cannot even translate this.

        Huh. I would’ve never guessed! Maybe that distinction doesn’t exist in French, which might explain why I’ve never heard of that before? Interesting!
