What's annoying me today is shoplifters. These people are nothing but thieves. Don't think they just steal from stores ---- No sir! They stole my time. Yep! Time! I just spend an annoyingly long time getting the most God-awful sticky label off the bottom of a jar. The world's best glue mated with the world's weakest paper. I know why these types of labels are required: SHOPLIFTERS. The worst case was a pair of cheapo sunglasses: The tag was stuck to the LENS! Ruined them getting the tag off. End of rant. Cheers, PW. P.S. One summer, decades ago, I had a job patrolling a shopping centre parking lot. We'd use a 'special' sign made with great glue and crappy paper and paste it on the windshields of carelessly parked cars asking them to use better judgement the next time they parked. We'd put them right in the line of sight. I doubt anyone ever received more than one.
