Frivolous things I don't understand
 
Ok so these probably aren't WTF? things, and not necessarily pet peeves either.

Does anyone know the answer?

I'll start with a recent query. In the foyer area at publix, Halloween stuff:

Why cinnamon scented brooms? (And over-poweringly so, at least with loads of them in a bin together)

Cinnamon (and nutmeg to a lesser extent) are generally considered holiday fragrances that conjure up a memory of autumn moving towards winter. IMO, the brooms are largely irrelevant - it's the scent that's the draw.

They never fail to make me have a coughing fit. Nothing says autumn like coughing your way to the Publix deli.

People who shave off eye brows to draw on less convincing ones.
