Trivial Things That Annoy Me #1

Carefully sidestepping any mention of last night’s football, I just wanted to sound off on something that is so trivial and so insignificant, that it shouldn’t matter to anyone.
I’m talking about people who leave the stickers on their digital cameras and camcorders. Why? These are those little stickers that shout about the number of megapixels the camera has, and the fact that it has 1000x digital zoom.
They’re advertising stickers. They’re like the tags you get on clothes – you remove them before using.
You take the cardboard things out of shirt collars. You remove plastic sheeting from new cars, and you cut off labels on new suit sleeves. Do the same with your camera.
If Sony and all the rest had meant the camera to have these garish notices, they wouldn’t appear as stickers. They’d be part of the camera like the manufacturer’s logo. So please, peel the stickers off!
