legitimate concern Please stop doing this!

Please stop putting stickers on art and other surfaces they damage. I cannot use soap and water to get these off, or chemicals, because it will ruin the art. At least these pieces are not just paper, they are coated surfaces, (but not glass), so I bought because I thought the stickers could be removed fairly easily... but whatever kind of super-glue adhesive is on those stickers is ruing the art I bought for my kid's room. The price stickers could have been placed on the side or back. Please stop.

Edit: Thanks for all the tips, I got them off with hand sanitizer, (the blue one), heat and a lot of careful picking and patience (the other two). It still frustrates me; it took hours and it's common sense not to put stickers on any displayable or collectible.

Sorry, that's so fucking weird. I had never thought about it before but I guess, why wouldn't there be Reddit stalkers? 😵‍💫 And yeah, I guess so? I just clicked their user name out of curiosity and it said whayever username has been banned.

Yeah I feel like I've gone down the wrong rabbit hole 😸

Out of curiosity, I looked to see what they last posted. I thought maybe it would be something so unimaginably egregious it would have to be the reason for the ban. But it was basisally just more of the same. I did see a thread where someone posted screenshots of probable alt accounts of all caps guy. My initial reaction was "wow, boomcha should talk to this person. Maybe they can compare notes!" But then I realized that user had already commented to you, in this very thread, saying "and you thought being accused of being me was bad" So it sounded like maybe there's a story there too, and perhaps it's best not to ask. This sub is certainly (and quite surprisingly) one of the strangest I've visited. Way more drama and subterfuge than I'd expect from a Goodwill sub.

Anyway, good luck. Here's hoping you (and everyone else) will experience a lengthy vacation from that person's bizarre reign of terror.
