protective plastic, who leaves it on?

[Participant]

Who leaves it on to keep your kit pristine?

Nobody sane.

 

[Cosimo]

Peeling it off is SO satisfying.

Yup, very slowly.... Oh such pleasure...

 

[kaptainmarc]

any stickers come off, don't see the point in keeping it on. if it looks super tatty in a few years il just buy a new one.

do you leave your mattress in the plastic sheeting too?

Used to keep plastic on mobile phone screens back in the late 90s/early 00s until it got bubbly and started coming off.

This thread reminded me of this, soon as i get something i take the plastic off

 

[Devrij]

Ugh, take it off! I have had people bring me laptops to fix with the plastic still barely hanging on around the monitor and I can't understand why they don't take the filthy stuff off.

1) It looks crap with it on.
2) Although it maintains the good looks underneath, you can't see them anyway.
3) It feels sooooooo good peeling it off.

what all of them?

way to stereotype,

okay I meant desis and I am stereotyping with them. One of my mates has the plastic covering on his Pioneeer Kuro remote still lol

I get a thrill peeling other people's plastic off - I'll wait till they're out the room and gain much satisfaction from gently peeling it off. I'm an addict and I'm not seeking help.

So, is this thread about condoms or not?

I thought it was sports related

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

Its almost as bad as people who leave the specification stickers on their laptop!?

 

[Lima]

Off fo sho.

 

[hughtrimble]

If something else is going over it like a case, I'll likely leave it on.

If it's going to be on the presentation side, then I'll remove it. If there is something that needs protecting, then I'll get a proper protector for it and not some cruddy piece of clingfilm left on by the manufacturer.

 

[Freakbro]

Dear god no, take it off it looks awful!

 

[Mark A]

I peel it off. My kit still looks pristine because I dont dust it with sandpaper.

Bought a new laptop a month ago and before I even turned it on I had removed those stickers.

I think it's stupid that they're even on a laptop. I know what specs it has, I bought it!

I peel if it. It annoys me so much that I sometimes can't resist doing it to other peoples things as well.

I like to peel if off real slow and then when its just about to come off completely, I carefully undo my good work so I can do it again and again.

Bordering on compulsive, but at least you're honest about it.

I remove it straight away. However, with things like phones I replace it with a better long-term protective screen. I always use a case as well. I've sold 3 phones now and they've all been in mint condition because of it, it really helps with selling.

 

[tom_e]

Off!

Even stickers on a laptop annoy me. Why does everyone leave them on? I don't care what the specs are after I've bought it!

The more you spend the less they plaster it in spec stickers so stop being a tight arse
I take it all off straight away, looks crap.

 

[Haggisman]

Off, straight away. It's like those stupid "bonnet bras".

So you're going to drive around in a **** looking car in order to protect it from stone chips so it doesn't look ****... *golfclap*
