[299/365] sticker key

[cosmolinguist]

A thing I learned today is that RADAR keys (a kind of key disabled people have or can easily get in the UK to unlock many accessible public toilets) are really good at scratching stickers off lampposts.

They're big sturdy keys, mine worked much better than my house key.

So now there's one fewer semiotically-confused anti-mask anti-vax sticker in the world.

Hurrah, go you! (and your RADAR key)

It's a tiny thing, but I had to wait at a bus stop for like 20 minutes and I would've had to be staring at this damn thing the whole time otherwise and I couldn't handle that. :)

I couldn't peel it off which is why I started scratching at it with my keys. I just did most of the words at first but then when back to have a go at the weird "'resist'/finger pointing at you like Uncle Sam" logo.

I found a load of them near the Burnage Sure Start Centre and removed them. Bollocks to that nonsense.

Blech. This one was in Didsbury.

Radar keys can break though as I found out (though not de stickering)

We regularly remove stickers round town although we haven't come across the razor blades like they had in Cardiff

[cosmolinguist]

Oh I know they can break but I wasn't putting that much force into it. And yeah I've never found anything like razor blades in the years I've been taking nasty stickers off lampposts and similar. I was only using the key because I couldn't scratch the sticker off myself and figured it'd be better to make it illegible at least.

Extra uses of excellent tools, and well done on removing a public menace.
