The stickiest parking permits known to man

Somerville, Massachusetts (where Tufts University is located) has some of the stickiest resident parking permits down to man. They are virtually impossible to remove from a windshield.

(This is well documented on Reddit.)

When walking around Somerville, you may start to notice the resulting carnage. And once you see it, you can’t un-see it.

Here are some examples from this past year:

1. The “gave it a good attempt”

2. The “immediate nope” (they started peeling at the top-left corner, and then gave up)

3. The “fool me twice” (note the small sprinkles of pulverized parking sticker on the dash; then the new one has been taped over to make it non-sticky and is manually taped up with weak tape)

4. The “minimal-effort fool me twice” (same as above, but didn’t even take off the backing paper)

5. The “fool me twice, shame on me”
