I bought a little cooking timer for the kitchen, it displayed "12:00" on the face. I tried to reset it to "0" but the display wouldn't change. I fiddled with battery and buttons but nothing worked so I went back to the shop to return it. The sales assistant pointed out that the "12:00" was actually printed on a plastic strip which was virtually impossible to detect; you could not see the "real" digits behind it.Work related one this and only relevent to some bit when yoy recieve some equipment thats stainless steel you have the plastic film they cover it in to prevent scratches.
It really annoys the fuck out of me, never comes off properly and takes up half your day removing it and probably scatching the steel anyway as you pick at the tiny bits that dont peel off
