The only true solution is fire.

The only fire solution is true.

and thats why you fold over the end. with that you also realize you've become old and like your dad. but thats life i guess.

All well and good until someone else uses the roll

Jokes on you I realized I was like my dad when it was clear I was emotionally unavailable

My father is a carpenter. I was born rolling the end of the tape, molded by it.

Oh btw, I'm only a sliver of tape and I'm going to rip off and you still won't know where the real start is

If you get really frustrated you can run your tongue around it. Your tongue is much more sensitive than your finger and will find the ledge. Gross though.

I pray I never reach this level of desperation.

Imagine spotting a coworker going down on a tape roll.

Hey, as long as you use more than the outer circumference length of tape at once, I'd say go ahead and use your tongue.

"oh look Frank's going for the tapussy again"

Also works for testing 9V batteries.

I hate that I have to scratch the whole thing but I somehow always forget to fold the end T-T

Flip around to, uh, find out.

Do you think this is how electrons feel all the time?

As someone who packs a metric ton of boxes for a job...

I feel so seen

thankfully we have tape guns, so we only need to deal with this bullshit once per roll

"Found it!!"

proceeds to tear the tape into strips that refuse to combine to peel the whole thing at once

Just run your nail in a back and forth motion along the tape and you find the edge easily.

I'm here

And here

And a lil bit here

A tip from the drama department:

...probably wouldn't as well with the specific type of tape shown in the OP, but for most other types, this is a good one to shove into your muscle memory when tearing off a piece.

Save the arrow! ↑↑↑↑

Draw 3 internal arrows, that show the direction of fingernail scrape required.
