Pet Peeve
This may have been addressed here at some time, but I haven't spent much time in the lounge of late.

I have quite a few pet peeves, but here's one that drives me nuts. Is anyone else bothered by packaging that does not crumble. I mean, when something was paper wrapped back in the dark ages, you'd remove the paper, crush it, and then toss it into the wastebasket. If you were so inclined, you could pretend to be playing basketball. These days, though, nothing crushes. Reams of paper are wrapped in plastic. Candy is wrapped in a variety of plastics and foils that don't crush. You get the idea. It drives me nuts.

3. I agree. And I actually enjoy breaking down boxes.
I like taking a box and making it flat. Seriously.

And I adore playing basketball with wads of trash. You're absolutely right about shrink wrap; you just can't get any air.
