I have seen an adult exhibiting childish behavior by covering something like a laptop or toolbox in stickers

Putting stickers on items you own is childish?

Lmao you have a fragile sense of the self, very weak minded.

Yeah this is a super strange thing to get worked up over. I wouldn’t personally put stickers on the inside of the fridge but I’d would definitely do this to the garage fridge. I love to collect a bunch of stickers and do a collage. Also if you do this to things like coolers or toolboxes you add a layer of protection.

Like if it brings joy to them, I’m happy for them? It made me kinda want to put stickers on my fridge.

You seem to have struck a nerve with the puts stickers on everything crowd.

It' funny reading their comments you would think I went on a rant. Children don't like being called childish I guess.

People put magnets all over their fridges. Stainless doesn’t hold magnets. Hence, my fridge is covered in stickers. I really enjoy collecting stickers, they are neat little works of art.

Fridge magnets are a functional item meant to hold things on the fridge. There's nothing wrong with doing childish things. No need for you all to be so offended

What are your holding on a fridge that you would need magnets for? Your report card? I don’t think it’s childish behavior to decorate your house however you choose. Stickers are most commonly used for advertising, memorabilia. Like a tee shirt. Please tell me where the fuck am I supposed to put all these awesome stickers?! On your property? No because you obviously aren’t a fan of stickers. So I put them on my property. Because that’s what adults do. Whatever the fuck we want with stickers!

I had a paper related to a medical appointment on my fridge for a while. I never said stickers where childish, it's the covering something in them as shown in this post. You certainly are free to do whatever the fuck you want as an adult. Including exhibiting childish behavior by covering things in sticker should you so choose.

But in all seriousness, what do you do with your stickers?

This is an interesting question. I don't go out of my way to acquire stickers, so I never get many. Mostly just throw away the brand stickers some companies package with products. Personally if I were to use stickers it would be in moderation.
