Bulk pricing in grocery stores. "Four for $5.00" Why not just label it $1.25 each? "Five for $4.00" Why not just label it $0.80 each? Perhaps certain individuals think you have to buy four in order to get the $5 price. Does marking it this way actually boost sales? Any grocers out there who want to fess up? Or a variation of this when they have 12 packs of pop/soda on sale, 3 for $9.99 or $5.50 each. Sometimes I don't need a pallet of pop, I just want a freakin' 12 pack at a good price.

News anchors who think they can do comedy, WHILE THEY'RE DOING THE NEWS. (e.g. Ari Shapiro crowing like a rooster for some comedy bit on NPR Morning Edition this week; Steve Inskeep practically every time he opens his stupid yap.)

Shrink wrap on DVD or blu-ray cases that does not come off easily and instead sticks to the case in little pieces that you can't remove without ruining the case altogether That little strip on CD or DVD shrink wrap, where you're supposed to find the loose bit of the tab, and just peel it off around the case, and then easily remove the shrink wrap. I still just run my fingernail along the edge of the CD to break it, as I have always done, which takes about a second to do. However, since the invention of that little strip (however many years ago it was now), my nail either gets stuck there because the strip is stronger than the main wrapping, or even worse I end up with a slightly broken nail after trying to force my way through that bit more quickly. And then when I do subsequently unwrap it, sometimes that strip is the only bit that stays stuck to the case because of its adhesive properties! Grrr, how on earth did people manage before that strip was invented???? (sarcasm)
