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”

1 000.00

Spaces?!?! What are we, animals?
spaces work fine for natural language, but what about regular languages. How should a programming language parse something like
x = 1 234Sure that works fine in whitespace agnostic languages, but in something like shell script, it could mean “1,234” or [“1”, “234”] (currently, it would be the latter). In a functional language (e.g. Haskell) it would also be parsed as 2 separate numbers.
