They have the unit price next to the total, but on the smaller item the unit was pounds and on the larger one it was ounces. Very annoying and highly misleading.

Comment on Swedish gaming conglomerate Embracer Group announced plans on Monday to split itself into three distinct games and entertainment companies in ~games
Nazarie Link ParentDidn't read that link, but I read about the deal earlier this week and it's super shady. They are saddling Asmodee with close to $1B in debt to pay down other Embracer (but not Asmodee) debts.Didn't read that link, but I read about the deal earlier this week and it's super shady.

If we decide we want to just relax, we don't sweat any previous plans. If we find someplace interesting and just want to stay., we do that instead. For things that require reservations, we make those in advance and will use those as small anchor points. If we really aren't feeling it, we'll skip those as well.
I guess I'd sum it up by saying that a vacation should be relaxing. Tight and/or rigid schedules are generally not relaxing.

They are equally distasteful for different reasons and I have a visceral hate for smelling either. And I'm all for them being legal, I just don't want to be subjected to smelling them.

Of course, the reality is more likely that their profit is greater but through creative accounting it's not. But, I'm not an expert in any of this, so I'm quite possibly wrong.

I'd imagine that most any card game is mouse only as well.
There are tons of point and click games out there as well. My wife is super fond of the Mystery Case Files series.

They all feel this constant need to tweak things. That's fine, but annoying, to most people. As you get older your plasticity to change decreases and those kinds of UI changes become bigger and bigger problems.

Toilet paper is horrible to price compare. Telling if two packs contain the same amount and figuring out the unit price for them is practically futile. I've basically given up and settled on buying the exact same pack of TP without doing price comparisons.
Those crazy deals you mention are really common at places like Dollar General (if you have one). They are also notorious for listing a discount that's not even in the system, so you have to watch them like a hawk and call out any "mistakes". Contrast that with my local Publix who will proactively tell me if I missed picking up items that were part of a BOGO or something similar.
