Pet peeve [View all]

I have a lot of pet peeves. Which is fine, because they're cheap to feed and otherwise pretty easy to maintain.

Here's one.

I hate it that grocery stores bundle up asparagus and package cherries and then sell by the pound. I mean, really. Have you seen any loose asparagus in the asparagus section that other shoppers might have removed from the bunch because they didn't need so much?

And what about cherries. Don't you feel just a bit self-conscious and maybe rude for emptying the bag of cherries to get the amount you want rather than the amount they package?
