Yeah, it's just a pain for me because I live out in the country so am always 10-20 miles away from the store I bought it from. And since this one's an exploding tag I have no choice but to haul it back to get it removed (I have just pried them off in the past if they're not exploders). For some reason I didn't start experiencing this until about two years ago. Now this happens to me about three times a year.

I'm jealous they've given you compensation for bringing something back to get the tag off. I've never had any such luck. Perhaps I should make some sort of scene tomorrow when I take it in. >.>

Ach, I do that constantly. I constantly misplace my favorite necklace because I think I've put it in a safe place and actually what I've done is set up a future game of hide and seek.
