excessive packaging... to the extreme
We're clearing out my in-laws house in NY and my sister-in-law is taking stuff to UPS to be packed and shipped to us. So a manila envelope that's filled with photos, cards and letters is cocooned in a massive amount of bubble wrap, then put in a fairly large box with a bunch of styrofoam packing peanuts. Fragile stuff, those cards and letters - - wouldn't want them to break! We got two of those envelopes, each packed in their own box.
There were also the two glass paperweights, each wrapped in bubble wrap until they were the size of soccer balls. Then each was put in a box filled with styrofoam packing peanuts.
Not to mention the static cling produced by the styrofoam bits.

Your sister-in-law is sitting back laughing at this awesome prank she pulled on you.
LOL! If I thought there was even a sliver of a chance that that were the case, I might appreciate it as the joke it would be. But I know that's not the case.
Oooh, I haven't had one in ages. We need a favorite quirks thread, 'cause one of mine is sucking the extra jelly out of a pbj. Guess that's why I don't have that problem LazyD!
Jelly is just too sweet for me to eat it alone, even a little bit. A couple of my buddies used to make pbj's every day with about a gallon of jelly on it just to make me sick.
I always feel compelled to wash my hands after some of the jelly gets on my fingys. So now I gotta wash my hands before and after I eat. Ain't nobody got time for dat

This thread is hilarious here are some I can add
When people don't push clear after using the copier, no I don't want 60 pamphlet copies enlarged 300 percent, just one normal one
When the gas tank is on the wrong side of the car, I drive a lot of Chrysler products daily, all have tanks on the same side...except the new Cherokee wth? Why change things now?
When your in class and someone pulls out a loud snack. Seriously?
