You have anger issues
Joel Was Right
If you smell burning, it's probably the generators acting up. Report it anyway.

Guilty. I like the feeling that the product is always new, and in good condition. It's better than having crappy glue marks from previous stickers on your new TV. So yeah, I always leave 'em on. (Unless they're glaringly obvious)

Its not really necessary I guess. Its kind of funny to see people wearing hats that are obviously worn and falling apart but the sticker is still on :lol

EXACTLY. Never take the sticker off of a fitted/snapback. Just don't do it. You're breaking several laws when you do.Meus Renaissance said:

It's not the hat and the sticker themself, it's the sort of people that actually wears them. It just screams doucheeffingvic said:

Hm, yeah, but it depends where they are. Like I said, if their obtrusive or distracting, and easy to remove, fine. But what about the Intel stickers on laptops? If you take them off you're a mad man.

He wasn't alone.
I still have the plastic screen on my g1 that came on it. I did take a little exacto knife and cut off the pull tab. When I get a new phone I'll pull it off and bask it the glory of my awesomely clean screen. Then throw it away.

It´s not other people´s fault that you have a small penis. Learn to live with it.

Last week I serviced a laptop that had those stupid "feature" stickers still on it, and they were all rubbed nearly clean of ink by constant use as a wrist rest.
Why do they leave them ON?
The only thing that bugs me more is people who never take the plastic screen protector off their cellphone. It's mean to protect it during SHIPPING. They always get nasty air bubbles underneath, and look like crap after a few months. There's a beautiful, shiny screen underneath... and you'll never actually see it. I liken it to never taking the plastic off your couch.

My roomate has to take the Label on top of video games and blurays and stick it inside the inside cover, in a precise spot. Knowing this when he had a bunch of stuff come in from Amazon I opened some of the cases for him, and did the peel off the top method as to not screw with the label, but he assumed I didn't know he did that and freaked out. Then he saw everything was okay.
It was creepy/cute. Good thing he's my best friend
Come to think of it, his epson Scanner Printer he's had for 3 years still has the clear plastic coverings as if it came out of the box. I had to peel back a bit of it just to access the Memory card slot the other day, hahaha.

Um ok. My Denon 3808CI still has the sticker on it. I don't think my Panasonic Plasma has any stickers on it.

was about to post this. saw this a lot in NYC when I was there and I was like huh? I took the sticker off the minute I bought mine.
I had a friend that had some cellphone where she left the sticker on the screen. The sticker even had text on it "2 FREE MONTHS OF SERVICE" or something. I made fun of her for years it seems. Then she finally let met tear it off. Most satisfying moment of my life.

THIS...or just really fucking bright LED's you can't dim or turn off. The worst being long ago when I had an old Motorola flip phone with a blue LED that could have lit up yankee stadium that wouold come on when it was charging. I had to charge that shit in a drawer at night so I could sleep.

I don't think he was that serious... You don't have to if you don't want to.
wenis said:
No, but if every day every single person you meet who is wearing one of those hats with the sticker still on it has an annoying attitude, it's not surprising that your instant reaction to a new person wearing that hat would be "that guy is probably a douche".
Doesn't mean you treat him like one until he affirms that belief, though.

Do kids or rappers still leave the tags on their sneakers?
Pachterballs said:
This. I just bought a new hat and the second it was in my possession, all tags/stickers and everything came immediately off and disposed of in the proper waste recepticle.
Personally I think it looks stupid when people leave tags and stickers on hats. Who gives a shit if the "value" of the hat is ruined? I, for one, will not buy your sweat covered dome lid for any price... sticker or not.
