LOL! It would take a lot more than that to annoy me :-)

I can't think of an instance when I'd want to do remove a price sticker -
not that there are many in these days of bar codes and most stickers are
peelable anyway, aren't they?

Life's too short.

Rather than live with the Minnie Pearl look, I remove stickers from
the hard-surfaced items to which they are affixed. Drinkware, lamp
bodies, picture frames and mirrors to name just a few. Goo Gone.

One of my favorite thrifts writes prices using a grease pencil. Again,
Goo Gone.

The only label I will not remove is the one on the Waterford crystal
Tiffany-style lamp; I threw a fit when I had a cleaning woman, in for the
day, tried to remove it. She has not returned, either.
When I pass it to my DGD on her wedding day, she can do as she pleases;
but for now that sticker label stays.

Then leave them on. It's good that you have nothing more important to
worry about. ;-)

I do leave them on on the rare occasions I notice them :-)
