    Default Things you can't stand (2022)?

    People who make negative remarks and don't explain why they feel that way:
    "I hate books"
    "I don't do public transport"
    "I'd never go to Disneyland" etc.

    What can't you stand?

    The thin lids on plastic water and soda bottles. I'm always dropping them trying to put them back on.

    Chip bags that make too much noise.

    I've got the problems with some bottles that are made from less plastic than before. It may be more environmentally-friendly, but it can make it harder to open the bottle the first time without causing what's inside to splash out when you're trying to turn the lid to break the safety-seal. (It sometimes happens when I'm opening the cranberry juice bottle for my Mom.)

    Pupulism, bigotry, authoritarianism in all its forms. And people who are indifferent to those things if they think it does not affect them (it affects everyone in some way).

    We've had zip lock for at least 40 years. All food bags need to made that way.

    And how much would that raise the cost of the product?

    That answer doesn't make any sense.

    If the product is sold in a sealed bag (would not have to have a zip lock to be sealed when its manufactured), it wouldn't "go to waste" any faster than if the product was produced with a zip lock closure.

    Now, once the bag is opened by the consumer, that's when the question of how long the product stays fresh comes into play. But at that point, the product has already been sold and the manufacturer doesn't have to worry about how the consumers store the product in order for it to last longer for them.
