Image: Two images almost identical to each other stacked vertically. The top one is the back of a neck of a person wearing a sweater with the tag sticking out. It is captioned "What it looks like". The bottom image is the exact same image but the sweater's tag has been replaced with a cactus. It is captioned "What it feels like".

I was 30+ when my g/f showed me that it's totally okay to just cut them off. It still feels wrong, though.

Cutting them off isn't good enough for me and sometimes even makes it worse because the corners are now more rigid and prickly. If I can't tear the tag completely off, I am not buy the shirt.

But then how do you know if your shirt should be washed in warm or cold water!?
