yesterday's pet pet peeve

Those throat lozenges that are wrapped in the loudest, crinkliest plastic available. People who bring them to the symphony. People who don't unwrap them before the music starts. People who don't hold them underneath their coats on their laps when they unwrap them. People who open them very slowly instead of quickly, getting it over with all at once, because slowly does not equate to quietly. People who wait until their neighbor is done opening hers before starting their own unwrapping ordeals.
