What The Hell Are These Things On My Clothes?!

[dino might]

i have one on this Polo shirt^, a flat head shirt, and a pair of dickies.............

they dont come off.

does anyone know their purpose?

is someone tracking me using my clothes?!

this is bothersome...

[djonno]

how are they attached if they cant be removed? they look like simple stickers.

edit: yeah, ive seen similar things in books at my uni library...

[powerviolence]

that's kind of annoying if it actually doesn't come off, but I'm sure there is a way without damaging your stuff

where'd you get them?

nah dudes, theres no way short of cutting them out im pretty positive... they definitely ARENT normal stickers... theyre stuck on there pretty intense, you cant just peel them off, not even a little bit.

the stickers themselves dont bother me much, being there and all, i just want to know why theyre there, thats whats annoying.

and the polo shirt i got at bloomingdales, the flat head shirt from kiya, and the dickies from kmart.... thats sort of why i felt the need to make the thread, those three articles are all seemingly very different and unrelated, but all come with the same "sticker" that never comes off.............

they are alarms

[edwithoutahead]

It looks more like an iron-on vinal sticker, right? I think I saw this on something I have (or maybe at a store). They are pretty much bonded to the fabric, but it would be nice if someone knew how to remove them..

[alterion]

iron on/ strong adhesive alarm stickers, deactivated by a strong magnet, i would say not worth the effort trying to remove em

[dino might]

kert, i dont get it...

the alarm seems to be the consensus though, good enough for me

ahem, 1984 movie edition of george orwell's nineteen eighty four.

'big brother is watching'

[onemancult]

youre definitely being watched... i dont have any of those stickers on my clothing.

ive found more complicated alarm chips sewn into the care tags, once. but those were

easy to snip off.

dont let the overseer know that we have spoken; follow the nightingale into the shadows.

kiya is a pawn of the cabal of the overseer.

exactly! that's what they want u to think.

[timburm]

probably rfid chips with stickers over them...

[Larry!]

pretty sure it's an alarm sensor barcode

used to work in school library and we put thin strips similar to those in the very middle page of the book in the opening to set off the alarm.

how are they attached if they cant be removed? they look like simple stickers.

yeah, we have those at our library too. Impossible to rip off cleanly. They almost always leave behind that sticky stuff.

Protip: If you're in a library with friends, rip one of them off, and hide it in their bag/clothes.

[siq tribal brah]

it might even be an RFID tag to keep inventory in the store, they just scan them and it tells them how many of that item they have in stock.

[dino might]

[sean_]

[dino might]

[polishmike]

I think it's from the cleaners. Otherwise... FNORD!!!

[dino might]
