I've just spent about 2 hours putting a screen protector on a phone. Is there any task more difficult? If I had a cliff in my back garden I'd jump off it. It's a good job there were 6 in the pack. More bubbles than my Wembley champagne last May. Give me self-assembly furniture any day. Or I might try transplanting an ant's brain. Aaaaarrrggghhhhh!
That would take me about a week. Somebody advised me to do it in a bathroom with a hot shower running, as the warm moist air causes the dust to settle. Why does the tiniest speck of dust, about the size of a grain of salt on the far side of Pluto viewed through the wrong end of a telescope, cause an air bubble the size of Africa?
Now in the library but I was certainly no stranger to sticky back plastic as a teacher either. The trick is using a metal ruler.
Apparently our new scoreboard has a screen protector on it. The bloke who stuck it on had to spend 3 weeks in hospital and go an an anger management course.
The library books. It keeps them protected from dust, muck, water, rips etc. (only the cover of course, the pages inside can still be easily damaged). There's a few books on our shelves that somehow weren't covered originally and they are in a pretty bad way now and need replacing. It's also fairy easyish to remove so books can be recovered if they start to look a bit grubby.
Getting the straw into the gap in a cartoon of Capri Sun I saw a bloke trying to do it today took him about 10 goes. Wouldn't like to see him try to locate a clitoris.
I had no idea that you can remove sticky back plastic or that library books were sometimes covered in it post production
I think most public libraries use those clear plastic sleeves but for some reason we don't. I'm not sure if it's cheaper to use sticky back plastic, or if it's because the kids removed the sleeves or what but that's what we do.
Update: I've now realised that putting a duvet cover back on a duvet is equally difficult. And, when ironing a pair of trousers, trying to decide which of the 5 parallel creases to concentrate on has baffled me for years.
Is it 'eck. Turn cover inside out with your hands in far corners, grab corners of duvet and shake. Takes less than a minute.
It sounds so simple when you put it like that. Unfortunately I'm male, so your instructions mean nothing.
I used to have them but for the last 4 years (2 phones, both Samsung) I've not bothered and the screens were pretty well undamaged. One scratch on my current phone, and that's hardly noticeable and the previous one none at all. Modern screens are very scratch resistant and anything that would crack it would still do it with a protector on. Waste of time effort and money. And in your case apparently, your sanity.....
I tend to keep phones for 5 or 6 years and use them outside a lot so it would be a bit of a risk. I've managed it now anyway, and @JamDrop kindly helped with the duvet. Next task is to try to decide which of the 5 parallel creases to concentrate on when ironing a pair of trousers.
