I hate those things SO MUCH. Even scissors don’t work well against those. Houdini would struggle getting those things off. Police officers should get really long ones to put around both hands instead of using handcuffs. You could use them to hold up suspension bridges. WHAT SPACE-AGE PAPER-LIKE SUBSTANCE ARE THEY MADE FROM?!?
Yeh, this one was one of those…I dunno, kinda perforated ones? The tail was just tearing into a thousand tiny pieces, like the security label on a new CD. I ended up cutting it off with scissors when I got home -_-.
So *this* is what people who don’t always carry a Swiss army knife have to endure.
I’m glad I’m not a person who doesn’t always carry a Swiss army knife.
Yeh I need to start carrying one around, but I wouldn’t be able to for long since we’ve got a small one about to start running around and getting into literally everything XD
I never realized people had a hard time getting those off until I went to an event with one of the pixies I hang with.
My only problem ever has been that they’re usually not made for people with wrists thicker than 10″. Friggin’ flex the arm wrong and they snap off.
The look on one kid’s face who was working security … fekkin’ priceless. She stopped me and asked to see my pass. I pulled the broken band out of my pocket. She didn’t believe me and rebanded me. So I made a fist, flexed my wrist inward … POP.

I have learned that house keys make a passable saw for cutting through those bands.

I kind of lucked out. My hands are small enough that I can just slip them out of those hell holes.

I’ve got tiny raccoon hands, but they wrapped that sucker around my wrist WAY tight.

I just keep a scissors in the glove box. Comes in handy more often than expected! 😀

I got too much other crap in there…I should see if I can work in a pair of scissors or a multitool!

One of the many reasons I’m glad I carry a multi-tool in my purse.

I think this is why my left canines are saw-shaped…
