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”

    Ah, so since you’re currently discussing this with me indicating an interest in a subject and you’re not able lower your interest in the subject (couldn’t care less). Your literal statements, indicates you want to continue discussing this further, because you don’t want to care less about this subject that you care enough to have a conversation about.

    Unless of course there’s an implies “because I don’t care at all” which isn’t in the literal statement? Additional meaning to a statement beyond the literal words makes it an idiom.

    But personally, I could care less about this conversation. Meaning that I would prefer to end the conversation, which would have the effect of lowering my level of caring which is my preference.

    Good night!
