Great Moments in Reading Comprehension

 What is the motive for people to defend this kind of thing?  I can understand putting up with minor irritants, but who actually likes them?



Here's the vibe I get from this kind of pushback:

Me:  I don't want a shit sandwich.
Them:  There's only a tiny bit of shit in that sandwich.  There's so little there, it isn't fair to call it a shit sandwich.  It's mostly non-shit.
Me: Any amount of shit in a sandwich makes it a shit sandwich.
Them:  Just eat the sandwich.  It's better than being entirely shit.
Me:  Why should there be any shit in my sandwich?  What's wrong with you people?

Added:  In the spirit of being, not just a complainer, but offering solutions.  How about a sign on the dispenser, "Compostable Paper Hand Towels"  and on the compost receptacle, Compostable Paper Towels only".  Also, have a trash receptacle labeled, "Trash".  See, it's possible to inform, without lecturing.
