      The nylon or polyester labels in the collar of 100% cotton shirts.

      When they get ironed, the labels develop sharp corners that scratch and itch and spoil an otherwise comfortable shirt.

      So the labels have to be trimmed to get the corners off, or unpicked and removed.

            P.S. Agree wholeheartedly about the shirts (labels and buttons)

                  Hotels that still charge for in-room internet access.

                      People who throw cigarette butts on the ground. Put it in a bin, FFS!
