In the spirit of keeping the thread alive with pet peeves. I'll add one
Why oh why is it necessary for some people to make a family outing out of a weekend trip to the grocery store? It's already too crowded. Why must mom, dad, and three energetic kids all plug the aisles? Let one parent stay home with the kids and send the other to shop in peace!
I can think of a couple of reasons why shoppers might bring the kids along.
1. Single parents, no one to babysit.
2. Recent media stories about what can happen when small kids are left alone in cars.
3. Helping kids to learn about meal making and budgeting.
