The Little MOST annoying things

Hello,

What are some of the small most annoying things for you?

Today I prepared a nice fresh fruit salad for our football get together and here is one of my MOST annoying things ever. The small stickers attached to every piece of fresh fruit needing to be peeled off. Come on, I spent the first several minutes on these ridiculous stickers. What purpose do they serve and why are they on every single piece of fruit?? 

Other than people, what are some of your most annoying small things?

Yeah those stickers are hard to get off. I always end up piercing the skin. I read that you can eat them but no thanks.

My pet peeve today is all of the Halloween candy on display at the front of every store. I had to take a quick run to the drug store and the grocery store yesterday morning and had three little kids in tow. You literally had to walk around 3 rows of kid eye-level candy displays to get into the store. Pretty much the same thing at the grocery store. I hate dragging a screaming toddler through a checkout. Those are the lowest mom moments ever.

I feel better now. /end rant

Eat the stickers? Oh hell no!

I get what you say about the Halloween candy. I am not a big candy fan but when I have the grandkids with me I need to drag them away. I take them to the fresh fruit section and tell them they can peel off the little stickers! I look at it as payback for the candy on display

Hahahaha! I like that idea. I may have a few recruits to join your passive aggressive toddler army! 

I love that my fave grocery chain has fresh fruit that is washed and free for the taking for kids who are hungry while shopping. It helps to stuff them full of bananas or apples before we get to the dangerous aisles.

Re: The Little MOST annoying things

A small annoyance of mine would have to be finding an item from somewhere else in a store on a shelf in the wrong section of the store because some exhausted parent realized one of their children picked something up a few aisles back and dropped this desired object in the cart without the parent seeing it, but when that same parent does find it, they just shove it all hodge podge on whatever shelf they are near. It floors me that people complain about grocery prices but then they don't consider that when they do that "item dropping" business, they are in fact costing every shopper extra money at the register. Why? Because the employer has to pay someone to walk around the store, picking all those items up and bringing them back to their proper place. That store owner has no intentions of taking that wasted cost on himself, you can bet he ups his prices across the board because of that one cost, and legally, he has every right to do it.

Here's mine:  Gum popping.  I can't stand it.  Can people just pop their gum in the privacy of their car and not in my ear?  Ever go to a movie or the theater and sit next to someone popping their gum? I have gotten in near fights because I asked them to stop popping their gum!
Or how about kicking the back of your chair in a movie? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

 YES YES YES.  I hate that.  I sometimes work with a woman that does that and I just want to grab pliers and pull out the gum and stuff it in her hair.

What a wonderful mental picture that gave me. Thanks for the laugh.

Re: The Little MOST annoying things

The stickers on our fruit are plastic not paper so I certainly would not eat them.  I do take the time to peel them off  because although it is annoying to peel them off you have to keep in mind that the stickers are stuck on the skin and if you wash the fruit you are not washing under the sticker.  So if your kid does bite in and eat the sticker they are eating an unwashed part.  And believe me you don't want that.  My husband tested the unwashed-under- the- sticker part of an apple in his lab.  Yucky.

Little annoyance - People who leave their bank slips at the ATM - usually tossed onto the floor.

Big annoyance - People who spit onto the sidewalk.

Good point on the stickers, I did not think of that. From now on I will be taking the stickers off before washing the fruit!

The ATM slips are annoying but the spitting on the sidewalk is just gross!!!

What is so nasty in their mouth that they don't want it in there anymore and what makes them think that we want it on our shoes? Eeeeeeewwwwwwww.
