This was mentioned before, but it's not just the 2p2ers.

People are limping AA-QQ a LOT...usually regardless of
position, but particularly EP. It kills me when I am
trying to punish Limptards with AQ in very LP and flop
the Q.

I think this was mentioned in another thread, and may not
be appropriate to hijack here, but do we lose our ~10Mish
stacks to this play every time?

I'm not sure I understand all the hostility to limping AA/KK from EP.

I think a lot people (Sklansky, for one) would agree that it makes sense often to limp small PP from EP. And a lot of people (Ed Miller, for one) advocate not playing really speculative drawing hands (e.g. small SCs) from EP.

So how can we limp EP with small PP and not announce to the world that that's what we're doing every time? Shouldn't we be mixing it up, partly by raising the small PP up sometimes, but also by limping in once in a while with a monster?

And if we're all (including me) complaining that we're stacking off to EP limpers with our TPTK hands raised up from LP, maybe it's not such a bad thing to try. I'm not saying always or even often, just sometimes.
