When sealing an envelope do you...... ?!


Question: When sealing an envelope do you!.!.!.!.!.!. !?
lick it shut, use water, glue stick it on or other!? Everyone in my family has a different way of doing it, and also when opening an envelope do you tear it from the side or tear it where the seal is!? I know this is a random question but I just want to know what the majority of people do :DWww@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
I lick it, but as little as necessary!. I read somewhere that after gummed envelopes were invented they took like 20-30 years to catch on, because people in Victorian times didn't think it was proper to mail someone a letter with your saliva on it!.

I always like to use a letter opener to open an envelope neatly along the top!. This makes it possible to fold the letter back up and stick it back in the envelope, though why I'd want to do that I couldn't tell you!. If you just tear it open, it destroys the envelope, but I usually just throw it away anyway!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I purchase my envelopes from a Japanese stationary store, so they are either naked paper, (that you roll a glue stick over) or they have a peel-off sticker backing!. I never see lick-adhesive envelopes in Japanese stores, so I suppose it may be considered culturally rude to lick something and then send it off to your friends!. :)

When I receive mail, I open it with a letter-opener, so it's torn at the very top, along the edge!. Www@Enter-QA@Com

I lick it I love the taste !.!.!. I know its revolting I also love stamps as well!. As for letters it depends upon what i think is in it
Bill - leave it for about 100 days kicking it around the floor until the envelope falls off
Cheque - rip it off across the top quickly pulling out the cheque/money etc
some times if there is not postage date stamp on the envelope i open it carefully so that I can recycle the stamp ( re use the envelope)Www@Enter-QA@Com

it depends!.!.!.if it's just a few envelopes (especially if they're hallmark!.!.!.their paste is sweet), i'll lick it shut!. if i'm at work, i'll glue stick it on or if i can find one of those nifty sponge things i'll use that!. i don't like the glue sticks too much because it ends up getting too messy in the end if it's a regular envelope and the edge to seal it on is not as wide as the glue stick!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I used to lick envelopes until I got a paper cut on my tongue one day!. Most unpleasant!. Now I either use a glue stick or one of those little tubes that you can fill with water that has the spongy thing on the end!.

I use a letter opener to open it from the top!. Www@Enter-QA@Com

Lick it - it's not a bad taste!.!.!.!.granted, I'm not 100% sure what the glue is made from

:-P

It's easier than fiddling about with water or glue sticks and quicker

Lick it!. I rip it open along the seal with my little finger!. I've been doing that so long that my finger is almost a real letter opener now!. I'm going to try turning it into a can opener next!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I don't lick it because it has formaldehyde in the glue on the seal(its true look it up)!. So I use water!. And when I open it I tear the seal!. I do it different evertime!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
