Whenever I've had a small amount, it's been tons of fun. But now that I've been given a lot, it drives me crazy. | ||

Is this given to you by a single person? group of people? Is it always given to you by the same person/people every time? | ||

Do you do anything with this when you have it? Or do you just have it? Is it something one uses up eventually? Is this a solid? Liquid? Eatable/drinkable? "Drives me crazy"= you don't know what to do with it? It causes you to have to do something extra? keeps you busy? It annoys you to have? | ||

Gourami: Do you do anything with this when you have it? Most of the time Or do you just have it? Always either the previous or this Is it something one uses up eventually? Yes Is this a solid? Yesish Liquid? No Eatable/drinkable? No "Drives me crazy"= you don't know what to do with it? Not this It causes you to have to do something extra? Yes, but... keeps you busy? See previous It annoys you to have? <b> Again, technically yes, but... (Didn't want the yesses in the bottom to completely mislead you) | ||

Hmm...did I read this correctly: When you are given a lot of "it", it is usually given by one person? Is your relationship to this person relevant? | ||

Kaygee: Hmm...did I read this correctly: When you are given a lot of "it", it is usually given by one person? This is true, yes Is your relationship to this person relevant? No, the person is not relevant Finding out what "it" is is important. The person that gives "it" is irrelevant. I'll tell that when "it" is given, that is because a gift or some other item has been given to me. | ||

RECAP: I am usually given a small amount of something, as a side effect of getting something else, and I really enjoy it. However, on one occasion I got a lot of this something, and it 'drove me crazy'. Discover: What is it, and why did a lot of it drive me crazy? | ||

Are you wrapping with it in the second scenario? Or just popping? Are you going to unusual lengths to pop all the bubbles? Spending too much time/obsessing over them? Or, or, are you trying not to pop any of the bubbles? | ||

Are you trying to cut it up so as to seperate each bubble? | ||
| Eliott85 (Eliott85)
New member Username: Eliott85 Post Number: 38 Registered: 12-2008 |
Are you trying to cut it up so at to seperate each bubble? No, each bubble stays where it is, until it is popped HINT: It's not so much what I'm doing with the bubble wrap (I'm popping it) that's special, as the way the bubble wrap is set up. | ||

Is the bubble wrap maybe sticky on the non-bubble side (to glue it to some package)? and then it has gotten stuck to itself back-to-back, so you can't pop one half without the other (giving you only half the popping fun for the same quantity of wrap)? | ||

Yes, the bubble wrap is sticky on the other side. and then it has gotten stuck to itself back-to-back, so you can't pop one half without the other (giving you only half the popping fun for the same quantity of wrap)? This is a no, though. | ||

A clarification on my last answer. The bubble wrap was sticky, but was attached to something, so it's not sticky anymore. | ||

Are you driving yourself crazy because you've created certain rules or restrictions for the popping? Perhaps you have to pop them in a systematic way, which would have been easier with a small piece of bubble wrap, but becomes almost impossible with the size you had. | ||

Are you driving yourself crazy because you've created certain rules or restrictions for the popping? YES! Oh rather, the way it is designed has created certain rules. Perhaps you have to pop them in a systematic way Yes , which would have been easier with a small piece of bubble wrap, but becomes almost impossible with the size you had. No-noish to rest After such a long break, good to see such a dead on question | ||

Hmmm... wild shot, was it a bubble wrap calendar, where you should only pop one for each day? Which in turn frustrated you to no end because you so wanted to pop them all?? AAARGH! :-D | ||

That would be it Noobdogg ***SPOILER*** For Christmas, I got a bubble wrap calendar. Each day is marked by a bubble, so each day, I pop one and exactly one bubble. It's frustrating because I do want to pop all the bubble wrap. However, so far, my patience has won out over my desire to pop. | ||
