I know it's trivial but those little ribbons attached to clothes to hang them up (pointless anyway!) mine often seem to escape from my shoulders and lie on my collarbone.

I absolutely detest it when people pluck at them to draw my attention to them!

I am BU but wanted a little rant! :)

Cut them off before you wear the clothes.

YANBU. Those ribbons are bastards. I always cut them out and use them as ribbons for my daughters hair.

Tuck them under your bra straps.

WorraLiberty · 03/08/2012 12:24

I always cut them off as I never bloody use them to hang clothes anyway.

Yanbu. Why do they need to pluck at them? They could just tell you (personal space etc). Dd used to love playing with them when BF which I didn't mind.
Otherwise I hate them too.

It's the expressions of dismay as they do so - I really don't care if a bit of ribbon is showing!

They are super annoying, and always appear when you least want them to. Does anyone actually use them?? V

Cut those annoying little fuckers.

And while we're on the subject of unnecessary fripperies do ALL bras need a little bow between the cups?

Ditto non plain knickers.

Bows bloody everywhere.

People draw your attention to them because it enables you to fix the problem and look like you got dressed properly. Cut them out or tuck them under your bra strap.

MadameCupcake · 03/08/2012 12:45

My mum will tuck them in for people along with the tags at the back of clothes. Its a bit embarassing but quite funny also!

I would rather be told - my friends and I had a photo shoot for one of them's 30th birthday and her tags were hanging out, we never noticed as we'd had too much wine and the photographer didn't either! She was very upset and wish someone had pointed it out or that she's cut them out!

Yes Outraged but they don't need to grab them in order to do that, do they? :)

I honestly, truthfully, couldn't care less, it's a tiny bit of ribbon Grin
