It's okay to peel that protective film off of the screen of that thing you bought.

Last week I peeled off some protective film on a device I'd had for over a decade.
Because I finally noticed it.

@tychotithonus but what about my couch?

@tychotithonus but free screen protector!

I had to. It was opaque.

Next you'll have me recycling the box it came in, too, won't you?

@jrconlin @tychotithonus it's like a free upgrade, taking it off after a few years! Leaving it on is an investment in your future glee.

@tychotithonus no!! I'm saving it!!

There was a film in the 70's where one of the new tasks Satan did was add extra pins to garments. Now that pins are no longer used, I like to think he adds protective film to obscure parts.

I once 'fixed' a friend's display by peeling off the protective film. They were upset that the text was distorted.

@tychotithonus Next you'll be telling me I can take the tag off my mattress.
