lose-lose situation

I got a new jacket for Christmas. This does not incense me...I actually asked for one, so I was pretty pleased. What kills me is the way that the people or machines that attach those tags to jackets with some propaganda or something attached to it. When I cut that little plastic tag holder, one of two things must happen. Either:

  1. The piece that was in the jacket's lining will now be there for all eternity, sometimes irritating my arm by poking my wrist, and especially robbing me of the closure (that I so desperately need) of getting the entire tag holder off. Or:
  2. Desiring the aforementioned closure, I'll tear a small hole in the seam of the jacket in forcing the piece out that was cut off into the lining. This won't be noticeable to anyone ever, but I'll know it's there. It'll eat away at the back of my mind.

In other words, it took an evil genius to come up with the original idea to attach tags like that.
