Discontinuation of relied-upon cosmetic products

When Revlon discontinued making their SkinLights foundation, I thought I was going to die. There ought to be some sort of due process clause written into the US Constitution or one of the Int'l Human Rights Conventions requiring that cosmetic companies provide notice-and-comment proceedings and hearings to the public before removing a product from the shelves.

My sister and I still talk about when Pepperidge Farm discontinued their best cookie ever, the Cappuccino. Seriously, they've never made one like it since.

I feel the same about the Strawberry Breeze flavor of Trident gum.

i feel the same about blistex clear advance chapstick. and to make it even worse, blistex says that they still make it, but everywhere they tell me to go to buy it- it doesn't exist!

Constant belly-rubbing by pregnant ladies » When you're used to being SKINNY, and all of a sudden you have this HUGE belly.... it's kind of hard to keep your hands away from it. Not to mention, I seem to hit my belly against things (since I'm not used to having it) and keeping my hands there, reminds me to pay attention to it. – Jami 3/20

When people make you take your shoes off before entering their house/apartment. » i think for me it's just family/cultural practice. my dad's from guam, and that whole side of the family doesn't think twice before taking off shoes at the door. – whothegoods 3/17

I hate it when people stick their Bluetooth headsets in their ears and walk around when they're not using them. It just looks really, really stupid. » They startle me in public too, when they suddenly start talking LOUDLY to themselves...while they are alone...in the middle of the supermarket. I think "crazy, or Bluetooth?" – Ami 3/17

I hate it when people stick their Bluetooth headsets in their ears and walk around when they're not using them. It just looks really, really stupid. » I call that look "business douche". 50% human, 50% robot, 100% asshole. – Brandi 3/16

When people make you take your shoes off before entering their house/apartment. » I have to side with the poster on this one. I think if you have guests over, you should just deal. It's not an every day thing. – jmc 3/15

When people make you take your shoes off before entering their house/apartment. » I agree with the two other comments before me. It's actually much more cleanlier to take them off. It seems to be more of an American ritual. (Canadians by the way tend to take off their shoes always) – Kara 3/15

Send in your mobile phone pet peeves for the week of February 15th! Perhaps the simplest and most common generator of peeves, the mobile phone prods and pricks us in all places, public and private. With skull phones just around the corner, it’s likely these peeves will soon become irrelevant—so let’s spray them across the galaxy while we still can.

For the next week or so, the pictures for peeves will be of Peeve Pile’s national spokesperson, Rob Grace, and his special person, Shana, enacting various peeves. Please feel free to make such pictures yourself. Just include a link to them when submitting a peeve.

Hello. I’ve added a voting feature, so you can vote as you assume that you would – just click on a one-to-five star rating (it will tell you your vote has been recorded); five indicating that you completely agree with, or find the peeve amusing, one meaning the opposite.

Once a bunch of ratings are in, I’ll add a worst, and best rated area to the right column.
