Pointless random thoughts...

Just wondering, does anyone else get really irritated when shops put super sticky price tags on CDs and DVDs that are difficult to remove and always leave a sticky spot on the otherwise clean case that never quite goes away?

This shits me. When you are spending good money on something that's going to be part of your collection, you want the case to be in good condition. Sure, the condition of the case doesn't affect the quality of the CD or DVD it contains but I still want it to be in mint condition.

These stickers wreck cases. The other day, I bought some DVDs and they had these super super sticky metalic security stickers. And they were multilayered and not made as a single piece - they were a bitch to get off and they left indentations on the nice cardboard cover. The DVD cases was cardboard! And they still fucking stickers on them.

But the stupidest part is that most of these things come in a plastic wrapper. So here's an idea that retailers could try, to be a little bit more considerate of their customers -

they could put the stickers on the removable plastic wrapper!

Felt good to get that off my chest.

Okay - next point. Gleffnork, I'm sure you're a nice guy and all... but I agree with Heccubus about your signature. It's ridiculous. Get rid of it.

Oh my god, it's great to know that I'm not alone. I refuse to purchase used CDs from one of the indie record stores in Hamilton because they use ultra-sticky labels on them, and I have to use a cleaning solution to remove it. I can't STAND that stuff! Even if you get all of the sticker off, it usually leaves a sticky residue that takes weeks to wear off.
I also hate it when stores repackage and resell returned merchandise. The plastic that they re-wrap them in is absolutely horrid to open. Even moreso than the regular stuff.
