Stickers are the worst. They can't be painted over like spray paint. They get brittle as they age. Removal requires a human with a razor blade and some shop cloths and minutes of time
Edit: and good luck preserving the surface if it's old, soft, or already overpainted.

- snypher 5y agoThanks for the microplastics with a typical "no longer my problem" approach.
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoIf the sticker is just left to weather the same will happen.
- matheusmoreira 5y agoWell, it's not really his problem. These companies put their trash in our property and we're supposed to clean it up? Such an indignity. It's the advertisers who are the problem. They're the ones dumping their garbage on us, reaping the benefits and then expecting us to clean up after them. Wish someone would just drop the banhammer on the whole industry already.
- pope_meat 5y agoI blame the prospectors who found the oil. Fuck it, let's kick the can like we mean it: I blame the dinosaurs who died and turned in to oil.
- matheusmoreira 5y agoIt's not the existence of plastics that is the problem. It's the fact advertisers are smearing that stuff all over cities in their "campaigns". It's not our responsibility to undo the mess they create. They're the ones who should have to pay to clean it up.
- France_is_bacon 5y agowell, dinosaurs didn't create oil, that's just silly. It was all the plant life. However, aside for that aside, that's not the actual culprit. The real culprit is the Big Bang. Or as Carl Sagan put it: "If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe."
