    I have several dozen stickers in my drawer now. I used to put them on the back of my TV and then my TV died.

      Depends on the type of sticker. They sell big stickers individually in a lot of places and some places have custom-made specialized stickers which they will sell individually.

      When I was a kid, there was a kiosk in the mall that had dozens of sticker rolls and you could pull off as many as you liked from any roll you wanted and buy them. That was awesome.

        Upload that motive to an online copyshop and oder in bulk.

          I’m guessing that’s exactly how they do it. But they still sell them individually to their customers. The customers seem willing to pay or they wouldn’t keep selling them.

          You also have situations like a band selling a sticker. They’re not going to sell you a roll of stickers.

            Scan that sticker, upload the scan, order it in bulk. Anxiety gone.

                I still don’t think you’re getting this. The band buys in bulk. The fan buys the single sticker.

                Fans can order the same sticker off the internet in bulk by uploading the motive to a copyshop. What’s there not to understand? Did you even read what you posted here? It’s about the anxiety where to put a single sticker. And that is gone when you just scan and upload the motive to a copyshop and order a stack for peanuts.

      See I’d argue if I buy a single sticker it was with purpose and I know exactly where I am going to put it (car, laptop, mug, whatever…). But if it’s a random sticker given to me I’d agree with OP.

        Just buy a pack. They’re stickers. They cost nearly nothing to manufacture. Me and my friends upload sticker motives to Eastern European online copyshops all the time and order 100 at a time, then split the bill. It’s dirt cheap.

    Unless it’s a sticker for a skateboard brand or punk band, in which case, straight on the nearest street sign.

    The secret is to just have a sticker area and then cover it in shit

    That’s why the one wall in my little office nook is covered in anime characters and such

    Depends on the time I get it and the kind of sticker.

    Is it anything remotely tech related? Goes on a laptop. Else: drawer for an undefined amount of time.

    If I go out of my way to buy one, I already know where it’s going.

    I had a big collection until I got a large toolbox in my garage. They’re all stuck on it now and when I get new ones they instantly go there also.

    I love that my kids actually do not do that and stick stuff anywhere they can. With age they understand some surfaces are off limits so as to not damage them, but my windows and light switches never stood a chance…
