A few weeks ago, I went to Home Depot for some finishing nails. I found the shelf spot, with a sample just like I wanted taped there. All the pound boxes of nails were clearly labeled as containing the nail I wanted. Every box was filled with an odd specialized nail of some sort, totally distinct from what they were labeled for.

A couple of days ago, my wife opened a new (opaque) plastic bag of "sweet dark cherries" from Meijers. It did contain about half cherries; the rest was frozen peaches.

Today I went to "TSC" (Tractor Supply Company) to buy some small ball bearings sized to fit a 3/8th inch rod. The bearings were in a small bin, in individual factory sealed bags. Each bag in the bin was clearly labeled as the proper bearing for that bin, with a 3/8ths inside diameter. About a third of the bearings had 1/2 inch inside diameter.
Is it just my luck, or is this happening to everyone?
