Stupid Pet Peeves

This one actually is stupid: it bothers me that the price per oz in the bulk yogurt containers is always higher than in the single serve size.

Is that true? True for Dannon, Light & Fit, Oikos and TripleZero products?

Lol, if I had ever seen that it would be a pet peeve.

Knew someone who wrote everything in all caps because they didn't want to have to push shift now and then.

When I was in middle school I used to write and say "your welcome" a lot. I didn't realize my mistake till I was graduating from high school. I had picked it up from a native English speaker.

Having just returned from a trip to Sam's Club, Costco and Walmart I can tell you this occurs in way more products than yogurt. We were amazed how many larger sizes of things (butter, lunch meat, cheese, pasta, pasta sauce, to name a few we saw today) that were more expensive by the ounce in a larger size. It isn't across all brands though. In yogurt we noticed that yoplait was more expensive in larger sizes per ounce (as was great value, walmart's house brand), but oikos was not for example. Also this pricing was different store to store. At costco the oikos large size was significantly cheaper per ounce than their smaller sizes, but at Sam's it was barely any cheaper at all (with costco cheaper overall on the product). Competitive pricing is one hell of a game.

Men - you just don't understand. It has to do with our multi-tasking brains. There is a lot more involved than just opening the door and getting out.

Aren't you also hoping the idiot of a husband/BF will be a gentleman and come open your door?

BTW, how many years (months, days?) after getting married does it take for the romance to fade and for SO's to stop opening car doors for their partner?

Depends on the woman. Some will expect it forever. They view it as a sign their man cherishes them. My suggestion is to ask how she feels about it. If it is important to her, then do it. If she doesn't like it or doesn't care, then stop if you want. Society's rules are sometimes stupid.

I was raised with the idea that men should always open doors. And I remember feeling annoyed by it as I had to wait for my date to come around the car. It felt awkward to me. I just wanted to get out and on to the next thing we were doing. But I accepted it as part of what was proper behavior. And I properly looked down on a guy that didn't open my door (beware, he'd be a lousy husband, you know).

If a guy opens the car door, I'm gracious about it, but I would really prefer to take care of it myself.
