Grrrrrrr!! Post-It notes make me mad.

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

[Phanerothyme 12]

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?

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

[PuressenceUK 10]

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)

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)

[PuressenceUK 10]

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