Does anyone know why the Americans have the irritating habit of running a sticker accross the top of the CD box? It always takes me about 2-3 mins to get into a new CD from the US and sometimes I break the box

The trick is to open the case by 'dismantling' the lid, leaving the sticker in place. Then peeling off the sticker from the 'inside' is easier than using fingernails from the outside. -
2/3 minutes. Why are young people so impatient?

They also do it on DVDs and that is even more maddening...I have spent ages trying to get the stuff off the DVD case. And I am 55, Beefy!Comment

Well to be fair, I've certainly broken into Medieval German whilst getting these mildly irritating strips off. And sometimes when you think you've got it off, you haven't!Originally posted by MickyD View PostComment

Er, I don't think so. I've never met any girls, in your implied meaning of 'met'
One or two guys, in the past, certainly....Comment

To answer mathias' original question in #1, the idea is to prove that the customer is receiving an unopened, and therefore unplayed, item.
However, for CDs at least, since all the shop staff in America know the trick I mentioned in #2, it is not very effective. 'Listen to a track? Of course' they say, as they nonchalantly flip open the case cover, hinging it on the label in question. After the audition, all is restored.
Not a reliable proof of virginity!Comment
