I bought a pair of Castelli Bib shorts today and very happy I am with them too....except for the bloody label. Obviously, you can't try bib shorts on so I bought them off the rack knowing the size I take and it fits me perfectly (was a bargain too!) The problem emerged when I got home and put it on. It has a label which lies midway between my hip and my bottom rib and is unnecessarily and stupidly WAY too long. In fact, it's not needed at all since I will never read what it contains. It's been made in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the wise(r) folk there have done a decent(ish) thing and there's a broken line guide with a picture of a pair of scissors showing where you may wish to cut this extraneous label away from. I've tried this before with labels in other items of clothing only to make the cut label irritate more with its jaggedy edge. Gloves are the worst garments for labels, often getting in the way but socks don't have labels so why the hell do they think gloves can't do without them?
It's not just clothing though. ALL my grandsons' (we've two of them now!) cuddly toys have the realism aimed for by the manufacturers completely ruined by the stupid label sticking up or down or out of the toy's head, bottom, back or anywhere else they can stick them. What's the bloody point in a label on a kid's fluffy toy?
Labels irritate me more than those medical 'professionals' who tell people how they should breathe! The recipient of this sage information has defied medical science by living as long as they have without being taught how to bloody breathe! How amazing! Should anyone ever attempt to teach me how I should breathe they will be receiving my honest and fulsome opinion on their well-meaning but utterly pointless information.
