      Not that this isn’t objectively correct, it is. And yet…

      I live alone, nobody messes with my tape. AND YET, whenever I need tape, no matter how hard I struge to always leave my tape in good condition, SOMEHOW the fay or gremlins always get at it and mess it up. Always. And so I spend time and energy to … goddamnit it ripped again!

      One time, the fold-over section just flat-out disintegrated. I mean… I try. Really really I try.

        Use scissors! Get into the habit of always cutting the tape. It may take extra time at first, but in the long run will save you lots and lots of time and headache!

        Source: used it when I worked as a cook and now use it at home.

      What happens to me is I have it in a dispenser where it holds the part out after the cutter, which works 90% of the time. Then occasionally I fumble it, knocking it off the placeholder and it ends up flat.

      Maybe I should just pull a little extra out and fold it…

      Beat me to it. It was a trick I learned online from a professional gaffer showing how he puts tabs on all of his tape. The second best option for if you don’t want to waste tape or have these tags on everything you tape is to use the plastic or paper tabs they use on bread and when you finish off the tape leave a little extra and then stick the bread tabs to it because then you can just peal off the tabs and the tape will be still sticky.
