As in the title I guess. How many of you guys get driven to distraction by the labels or tags on your clothing? I know perhaps it's a cliché, but I have been wondering if it's as common as people say.
This has always been a major sensory issue for me as far back as I can remember. T-shirts, underwear, trousers/pants would drive me to tears when I was a kid if they still had the label attached.
I had eczema when I was a kid and the irritation was chalked up to this. But the eczema went away and the irritation stayed.
I've been known to basically loose my temper with them a bit and just yank them out of work uniforms etc.
I try to cut the labels off my clothes but sometimes I forget. I have loads of t-shirts with small holes in where the impromptu removal of the label caused collateral damage.
Why on earth do those little pieces of textile feel like someone is rubbing my skin with fibreglass wool? They seem to be worse if they go through the wash.
I've noticed that some t-shirt manufacturers now stamp the care info and size on the back of the t-shirt under the collar. I really appreciate them doing that, though occasionally they hide a label too on the left seam near the waste, just to lull me into a false sense of security lol!
It's always puzzled me that they can cause so much hassle when they are so small.

Its just strange to me that when I feel them with my fingers, they just feel soft and yielding, but against my neck or waste they feel like paper with pieces of glass stuck to them
