Does tags handing out of people's clothes upset you?

Post Reply New Topic

This might be quite a strange topic to bring up, but I was just wondering if anybody else feels the same, or if it's just one of those things what only I just don't like and never will like.

Since I was a very young child, (possibly as young as 5 or even a bit younger), I always felt grossed out by tags in clothes. I don't know why, and even to this day I'll never know why. Just feeling them or even seeing them makes me feel sick to the stomach. You know how you feel sick when looking at something disgusting like vomit, poo, those sorts of things? Well I feel exactly the same when looking at tags (besides disgusting things what's normal to make you feel sick).

I don't bother cutting them out of my clothes because I'm all right if I can't see them, but if I know one's going to stick out of my clothes, I have to cut them out then, because I can't stand the sight of them and I don't like other people seeing them (even though it probably doesn't upset other people as much as it does me). I hate to see tags hanging out of other people's clothes. I have to look away if I'm eating because I can't just tell them to get rid of them, unless they're a close relative or something.

Anyone else feel grossed out by tags in clothing? Or is it just me being utterly stupid?

No I don't feel that way. In fact I thought they were there so you could tell between front and back. Then I realized they were there to tell you what size it is and how to wash it and the name of the company that made it.

I sorta understand where you are coming from when I see pockets turned wrongside out and visible on pants or jeans. It doesn't make me sick but it bugs me.

Redacted.

It doesn't upset me, but I would feel the urge to fix it. I was at a show and was sitting in the row behind a lady with a label hanging out. If I had been within arm's reach, I would have sorted it for her. Usually in such circumstances, the person turns round and says, 'Thank you'. As for myself, unless the label is really soft, I remove it.

I don't have a major issue with the tags hanging out, although would probably point it out if it was someone I knew. I do have to continually fight the urge to pull up the jeans of young rap fans who wear them with the waistband just below their backsides. One day I may cave in to temptation and actually do it
