Scratchy Clothes Tags

Pet Peeve. Pet Peeve. Pet Peeve.

Ok, now that I have that gush out of my system let's calm down and have a little chat. In the good old days there was a label sewn on the neck or at the waistband of a new garment which listed the size and fabric content on the front and laundry instructions on the back. Simple. Easy.

AND soft.

But now...NOW...these have become offensive, rough and crudely finished instruments of pure torture. These are seemingly hazardous to your health as well as distracting to the point of self-mutilation (trying to reach behind your neck to cut the offender out!!?#*!).

Perhaps this part of some quiet, deep, dark and evil scheme to take over the world.

It's working.

i was JUST talking to my husband about this over the weekend! PET PEEVE is right! ggggggrrrrrrr!!!!!!

what i want them to do is just imprint the info on the inside of the garment somewhere. they do that with store/brand labels sometimes - Old Navy, in particular - so why can't they do that with the washing instructions?

GGGGGRRRRR!!!!!
