11 Reasons Picking Apples Is The Worst Fall Activity
This person must’ve had a REALLY bad experience at an apple orchard – they took time to write 11 reasons picking apples is the WORST fall activity. Seriously, did they get hit with a rotten apple? Maybe ate one with a worm in it?
Picking Apples – It’s Not That Bad, Is It?
Is apple picking (cider mill) a fun fall activity for the whole family? Or is it an outdated thing your grandparents did that’s just dumb in 2024? For the first day of fall, someone posted an impassioned list of reasons they think apple picking is the WORST fall activity. They couldn’t even limit themselves to 10.
Here are their 11 reasons apple picking isn’t actually a “fun” activity (see if you agree):
1. You’re doing work. There’s a reason people get paid to do it.
2. There’s rotting fruit all over the ground.
3. The bugs.
4. You’ll get lost. Orchards are like “massive apple mazes.”
5. The more apples you pick, the harder it gets. Because the bag gets heavy.
6. Mud. If it’s rained in the past 24 hours, definitely don’t bother.
7. The crowds. You’re probably going on a weekend, just like everyone else.
8. The photos aren’t that great. But you’ll have to deal with lots of other people who are just doing it for the ‘gram.
9. You’ll end up with more apples than you’ll know what to do with.
10. Every grocery store has apples, so why are we making it a whole thing?
11. The store out front is the best part. If you DO head to an orchard this fall, they say to just hit the store for the cider and donuts. Skip the whole apple picking part. (NJ)
