Removing a security tag

[Admiral Huddy]

Can't be bothered but you took the time to post about it with a pic? Very odd.

Happens all the time.. I took one back to debenhams only a few weeks back, no recipient and they took it off no problems. Ask them to pay you the parking inconvenience too.. Don't ask, don't get.

Don't think he was serious m8

No **** sherlock, he was trying to be funny but failing miserably...

It's like making a joke about putting 4 sugars in your tea one day, you madman!

Teaspoon either side did the trick when this happened to my misses

Reading this in isolation from the rest of the thread is ... super.

Hee hee

Doh. Thankfully I didn't go with "yank it off" as I was going to originally haha .

Buys a coat online but paying for parking outweighs the impact of ink staining if anything goes wrong.. Right.

I can just imagine it:

Misses: Oh damn, it's got a security tag on it! We'll have to take it back.
You: Nah it's alright dear, i've got this! *Readies teaspoon and wirecutters*
Misses: No... I really think we should take it back..

I think it was the sound of the angle grinder that made her change her mind..

One minute to take a pic and post it vs over an hour wasted getting into town and back. Worth trying first to see if it was an easy fix!

Smother it in mustard overnight.

If that fails, kill it with fire.

Use flammable mustard. Two birds one stone etc

Leave it on. It will look hip and trendy, much like baseball caps with the stickers still on, and it will also be an interesting talking point and anecdote.

Just think of all the new friends you can make as you walk through town! A whole load of people will want to talk to you as you walk out of stores.

If you want people to talk to you go down the pub and urinate on some punters dog.
