Discovery of How to Remove a Bumper Sticker
My dad was so mad when I put a political bumper sticker on the backwindow of the car. I had just started to drive, and I felt I was entitledto make a political statement, but my Mom and Dad, who also drove that car,didn't agree. It said "Kthulu for President - why settle for the lesser oftwo evils'" The humor was lost on them, and I was told in no uncertain So I went outside with at wet sponge and t
With this littletool, I had the entire sticker, including all the glue, completely off thewindow. Surfacelayers peeled off but what remained was a mess. It was a gadget that held a razor blade. It was going very slowly and making a big mess on the back ofthe car. So I went backout with the sponge, soaked it again, and started scraping with myfingernail. I thanked him, and that was when it dawned on me: always have theright tool for the job. I went in for a flat headscrewdriver, thinking it would scrape better, and my mother said "If youscratch that window because of your stunt, expect to pay for it. It was my neighbor across the street who came to my rescue. Don't try to set a screw with a hammer, and don'tuse a screwdriver as a glass scraper. I discovered that it can be worthspending a dollar or two (a window scraper is quite inexpensive) to get ajob done right the first time. " This iswhen I first began to realize just how irritated they were. The scraps were in bigger pieces and easy to clean up.
