Why can't someone invent post it notes that actually stick to things for more than 2 seconds?!!!!

Ggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

It's obviously a bad day at work for you ;)

Now are you using bona fide 3M post-its or are you using an inferior brand of "sticky note"?

I have always found post its stick quite well.

cant believe I replied to this, but there you go. Apparently repositionable adhesive was and accidental invention found when a 3M boffin was experimenting with stronger adhesives for us in sticky tape.

It took 22 years before the adhesive actually ended up on a post it note. Quite an interesting story.

No, you've been fooled! It was Romey and Michelle who invented the Post It Note, I quote 'y'know those yellow sticky things - that was us!'

Have you not seen Romey and Michelle's High School Reunion? :loopy:

Mistake of wrong kind of "sticky note" compounded by use of wrong kind of forum for resulting belly-aching on the subject...

3M have now brought out "Super-Sticky" Post-It Notes as well as standard ones. These extra sticky ones will stick better to metal, plastic and non-paper surfaces. That should solve your problem!

(And as an earlier poster said use proper 'Post-It' 3M branded ones. Cheap own brand imitations are pants)

agreed, but WTF has this got to do with Sheffield?!

Moved to General Chat.

its got everything to do with Sheffield, since i am at work in Sheffield lol!

But yes, quite right to move it here!

Dont use post it notes.
Get messages emailed to you. I wont take post it notes on my desk. People want to leave me a message email it.

:D

And yes I am quite arsey at work, and can get away with it.:D

Top Tip:
If your Post-It note drops off, stick it back with Blue Tac!
(If you don't have any Blue Tac you may find that a couple of nasal bogey's will work just as well):)

I don't use bogeys. I prefer the brown sludge you cough up after a Marlboro.

I can't say that I ever have a problem with them coming unstuck.

The site to find out details of the new style super sticky Post-Its is here :

http://www.whereyoucanstickit.com/

It used to be

www.youknowwhereyoucanstickit.com

but they have altered it :P

On the site you can get free samples, and I must say that trials I have conducted show them to be very sticky indeed. Perfect for those 'Kick Me' signs in the office :thumbsup:

I've heard that there is going to be a new 'Super breed' of 'all weather' post it notes. You will be able to use them on camping expeditions to repair groundsheets and stuff.
Called 'Duck Tape' But sold in tiny sheets, not on a roll:banana:

I was using 3M postit notes the other day, they certainly dont like air-conditioners!

3M work anywhere unless you use them 180 degrees turned from their normal method. They lean over and fall off.

My room is still covered in post-it notes, as a post-exam thing, i got rid of all the meaningless stuff in my head and wrote it onto notes. So now i have ended up with notes sayign thigs like "Whay am i eating all this turkey?" plastered around my room

i'm not crazy....
