There are some surprisingly reasonable and half-decent suggestions in this Grauniad list of simple ways to improve your life. I can't argue with #23, which suggests taking a big drink of water before going to bed after an even bigger night out. It's the best way I know of avoiding a disastrous hangover, other than not drinking in the first place, and what's the point of that?
Can confirm on #30. I call it "weaponised kindness". The ruder or more difficult people are, the more polite and helpful I become and it absolutely does their heads in. It is absolutely thrilling.
The dishwasher is also on my sacrosanct list. It is no place for anarchy. I have risked life and limb repacking that thing (admittedly i should wait till after a particular person has left the area). My argument is that all those years playing tetris has proven a direct correlation to how much i can put in there and how much cleaner it comes out. I should probably get that put on my tombstone because i'm going to need it in the very near future.
I found a better way than grumbling or passive/aggressive sighing re dishwasher usage. A lovely comedic turn regarding kitchen etiquette had my lovely (and oh so nearly perfect) husband placing things ever so carefully into the dishwasher and I didn't have to say a thing
# 29 Doesn’t work for me. I come from cattle country and my family all still ranches here. I’m a confirmed carnivore. Beef Deer Elk ,,, occasional salmon....veggies too but I cant quit meat. Grills weren’t made for asparagus .

Only middle-aged men know how to stack dishwashers.
I could always tell when my mum really despised someone, so very fucking polite and friendly, it is indeed the gift that keeps on giving

Tempted to throw down something acerbic to get a Mister Fucking Congeniality reply...
Your penmanship is atrocious. You dress in the manner of a male prostitute.
"There is nothing weird about following the correct dishwasher stacking protocol." - so much background evoked in that single phrase
Reminds me of a Calivin and Hobbs comic
Calvin asks father "What's a control freak"?
Calvin's Dad "That's what lazy slipshod people call someone who wants to make sure the job is done right"
Calvin "Am I in the presence of their King, should I kneel"?

#8 is an abomination, never leave a voice message when a text is an option. Nobody in their right mind thinks a voicemail is a nice little podcast.
