It's a mystery in January

Why do they make tanktops with sew on tags? I just spent two hours twitching as the scratchy corners jabbed at me over and over again. It's more annoying than that tiny pebble in your shoe because most people would not blink if you stopped on the sidewalk and shook out your shoe, whereas tanktops are worn against the skin, so usually you can't just strip off your top on the side of the road to remove the stupid tag. Instead you grit your teeth and bear it and it rapidly becomes like a mild form of torture (although it may be that if I bore it long enough or had to deal with something distracting enough I will no longer notice it's not an experiment I feel like doing. Instead I am removing the tag).
