    That is indeed one of life’s frustrations. A frustration that only gets worse with age. ARG!

    Digging the cotton out of the top of aspirin bottles takes a while, too.

    Which is why I fold the end over itself after I’m done with it.

    I have thrown a few rolls of tape in the trash because of this.

    I think somebody wasted more than 37 days of their life researching this

    My lawyer advised me that “not folding the end of the tape down” is not grounds for divorce.

    Draw arrows inside of the roll, showing which direction to drag your nail in case you forget to fold under the end of the tape.

    I can almost believe that. Actually, once I find it, the tricky part is getting a whole piece of tape to come off. I keep getting shards. Many of my packages go out with shardy tape jobs.

    I belive this. The question is: Who does this research and why?

    Take the plastic bread tab that most folks throw away and stick it under the end. Problem solved…!

    “Daddy, what’s wrong with mommy?!”

    “She’s okay dear, she’s just having trouble with some tape.”

    “Okay… but should I be worried about mommy?”

    “Only if you see an explosion, dear!”

    There’s a joke about a biography of the guy who invented adhesive tape but it never got read because no one could find the beginning.

    don’t forget little annoyances like:

    1. Not replacing the cap on the toothpaste tube

    2. Installing the toilet paper rollin the holder so that it rolls behind it.

    3. Not recapping the marker so it dries out and is ruined.

    4. Forgetting you left something in the office break room fridge so it stinks up the whole area.

    5. Forgetting to lower (or raise) the toilet seat when finished.
