Okay, I don't know if this has ever happened to you, but this morning I had a fight with my generic scotch tape....
So here's the story... I went to the post office to mail my husband's registration fee for his truck. After I bought the stamp, I couldn't remember if he signed the card or not, so yes you guessed it,.. I carefully opened the envelope, and long and behold, it was signed. But then of course, I couldn't seal the envelope again, and the Post Office no longer gave you tape, they used to, but not now...now you have to buy it from them.
And since I had to go to the store anyway, to buy some items, I would buy it there..
Only after I made my purchases and was already sitting in my car, I forgot to buy the tape. So I went back to the store, purchased the tape and made my way back to the post office.
Now I'm sitting in my car, and opening the tape, but when I tried to break it from it's holder, it wouldn't budge. I tried everything, pulling it, twisting it, and just short of biting it off, because my teeth might break in the process... and who needs a dentist bill. right
And that's when I noticed like many tape holders should have, but this one didn't have, was a rough rigid edge that breaks the tape. I had bought a defective tape. Go figure that one, it could only happen to me.
And I wasn't about to drive back to the store and return it, not for a $1 39... the gas alone, would cost more. So I kept struggling with the tape, until suddenly a lightbulb went off in my brain. I remembered putting a scissor in my handbag last week, to cut paper for a birthday present.
Searching through my handbag, hoping it was still there, I found it buried underneath all of my makeup, I was now able to detach the tape from it's holder.
This little unscheduled episode, took at least ten minutes. I could have been home, and having another cup of coffee by then, or maybe eating lunch... lol.
So yes, The generic scotch tape episode, will always be FOREVER YOUNG
