Today's Dilbert talked about something I was planning on writing about:

Sticky price tags are the stupidest thing human beings have ever created.  Just the other day, I was attempting to take the sticky price tag off a gift from my sister from Latvia (yes, the country).  It utterly failed.  And not because I'm stupid.  Granted, I'm not the smartest kid on the block (I always spell "genius" wrong), but I think I'm smart enough to remove a sticker from a solid object.  Instead, the sticker came apart into a million pieces and left a permanent sticky residue.  If Wendy was there, she would have said to use rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover, both of which I've already proven do NOT work on sticky things (sorry, Wendy ... good idea though). 

Just like the comic points out, sticky-price-tag-sticker-makers don't quite get it.  Their purpose is to come up with a great product that works flawlessly.  The thing they forget is that price tag stickers aren't supposed to be permanent.  They always need to be taken off.  And while I could use harsh chemicals and sharp objects to remove these things, I shouldn't need to.  Buncha idiots. #entertainment
