Why is it that people can go to the moon, but nobody can come up with a better model for the standard bobby-pin?
The plastic on the ends fall off after a few uses, and then I’m left with a goddamned sharp metal tip that feels like knives being jabbed into my skull.
If I wanted to secure my long hair with weapons, I’d use a motherfucking syringe or a cocksucking bayonet, but as it happens, I don’t want anything of the sort in my hair.
I would cry about it if I wasn’t so cold-hearted, but in all honesty, the bobby-pins have made me cry with their cruel metal. Metaltards!
I fuckin’ hate those metaltards.
And who the hell is “Bobby” anyway? Probably a masochist.

thats why they are so cheap! but there are other kinds of bobby pins that are all steal as well as duckbill clips
Don’t they come in packs of 100 for like a buck or something? just stock up and toss the broken ones. Or keep stabbing yourself in the head. Or just buzz off those luscious locks. Lots of solutions to this problem.
lol @ miles…..i was thinking the same thing. At last check they are so small and inexspensive, that carrying a few extras shouldnt really be a problem…. but being a bald black dude, and having no hair hence no use for bobby pins….. i guess it is that hard.
I go through them like water, but not because of the plastic ends falling off.. either i leave them on the coffee table and my cats get to them, (in which case they’re gone forever), or my boyfriend finds them as useful tools for spreading hash oil onto zigzags. Either way i don’t really care, because they’re insanely cheap. They also make bigger, more durable ones now. I’m surprised you haven’t gotten in on that action.
you dont see oil as much in the maritimes. It sucks as that shit is out there as much as weed in the college cities there. Think immamix me a batch
They do make a neat roach clip!
Some factory kid in China is probably laughing up a lung over this.
Bobby Pins ??? WTF
lol. this made me laugh really loud.Just last weekend i was cursing these buggers out
