To ask you to help me remove a security tag?

[PengiQuin]

I'm not a thief I promise!

Picked up a bottle of prosecco on the way home as a rare treat to celebrate my first week at work.

Got home and realise they've left the security lock topper thing on it. Went to walk to the nearest supermarket to beg for help (bought from supermarket near work a 45 min bus ride away) but realised I didn't take the receipt from the self checkout

Can anyone help? I've been pulling and pulling. I'm skint and have been looking forward to this all week

That Miss Rabbit is into everything

Haha always good to have a miss rabbit as a friend

Do you have a saw? Take off the top bit of plastic and then corkscrew in and open if you can't get the cage off.

I'd be tempted to go nuts at it with a saw but that's just me. I have no patience.

HMMM, this is like when someone gets you those padlocks for your wine and you have to solve a puzzle to drink it. Fucking CRUEL!

I am stalking this thread to see if you get in.

Persevere with all the advice. You will weaken it and it will eventually give in!

Halfway there with the knife. Love you hot knife poster

Yay - persevere, you can do it

My old Dad used to say there is no problem without a solution. It can carry you through life, that.

I only have a massive saw. I'm using a serrated knife which I just burnt myself on, miraculously I'm not bleeding. Reckon I should stay away from any actual saws/ power tools.

Also yeah, miss rabbit ftw. Wish I had her on speed dial right now.

The tops proving loads harder to saw into than the sides. But I can't bend the sides off, I need to cut through the top to actually cut a section out if that makes sense. It's impossible.

Scared if I smash it my nice drink will be ruined by the thought of my lungs getting pierced by glass. 😐

Strain it after!!!

I hope you have some ice!!! Nothing is worse than warm prosecco

Fuck it. Just having a cigarette then I'm going to smash it. My knifes nearly blunt and love island's approaching. And I keep thinking this task would be much less laborious if I had a glass of wine. And then remembering that that's what I'm trying to accomplish

Got ice thank goodness😋😋😋

Can't believe I am rooting for you more than Andy fucking Murray.
Though I think this is more important

If your anywhere near rural north Oxfordshire, there are a few spare bottles in my shed, I'll happily give you one to save the ballache!

Hahahah sorry. No help

Also yeah, miss rabbit ftw. Wish I had her on speed dial right now.

I didn't feel like a glass of wine but I am gagging for one now. You can do it OP! I won't pour my ice cold Sav until yours is open. I will also watch Love Island on itv +1 if it's not open til after 9pm. That's mates for you.

Happened to me once with a Tesco delivery, I pointed out to the person that the security tag was still on, and he told me to insert a flat head screwdriver into the top and it would release it. It did.

Do you have a hammer? Can you smash the plastic bit with a hammer?

Don't give up!

I am on tenderhooks waiting to see what happens lol!

if you are smashing it the best thing to sieve it through is clean tights, or a thin cotton shirt, like school shirt material which I totally never did on the way home from school

Just read this post. Are you in? Dying to know!

Hope you're half sloshed by now OP!

Did you get your drink?

I'M IN!! Best moment of my life bar birth of DD blah blah

Managed to cut a section out and attack it with a corkscrew and it popped out and loosened it a little and started to spray everywhere - had a saucepan on hand though with a big chunk of ice in

Got a really stingy burn and two fucked knifes and Danny dogs going straight in the bin the useless prick

But prosecco's never tasted so good thank you for all your offers of wine and of solidarity and support. I'm toasting to you all chin chin

Come on OP, you can do it!
