I applaud every garment manufacturer that sews a tiny same-colored loop near the neck of a shirt or near the waist of pants where the tag can be led through it with a piece of string that doesn’t pierce the fabric and can be effortlessly cut off.

Bonus points if it’s just a cotton thread holding a piece of cheap cardboard and no plastic is involved.

    Even better, loop the tag string through the back-of-neck label, itself preferably barely basted on.

    Gives that damn thing a reason to exist and reminds you to get it off immediately. Instead of finding yourself desperately stripping in the bathroom and hacking it off with nail scissors when the itching drives you crazy.

    I love it when my clothes have random damage!

    Seriously! When clothes have been on the rack for a while getting yanked around by their tags sometimes there's pretty significant damage, especially visible on some types of textile.

    Just stop it.

    I also hate any baby clothes that use proper buttons instead of poppers. Such a pain in the arse trying to do them up when the kid is all over the place! Even better if the poppers have some kind of colour code so you know which goes where, some baby grows were a nightmare for this as they folded in a weird way.

    The needle tool for applying these to garments is the most casual injury prone tool I've ever used for work.

    Were you carrying it in a pocket?

    Could probably get them banned on baby clothes as a hazard.

    Imagine the landfills, our soil, our food.

    The thumbnail made them look like little fungi, and the title still worked.

    Those tags are annoying, but they are also very satisfying to bite through...

    Cutting these off of dog toys is the worst. I'm always worried I'm going to miss one and hurt my dog.
