Velcro - An invention that should not have been invented

I don't know about you, but I feel that the velcro fastener should never have been invented. I hate velcro fasteners on pants. For example, have you ever try putting back you wallet into a pocket with velcro with one hand, like when you have shopping bags on one hand and need to put back your wallet with one hand into a velcro fastener pocket? The flap of the velcro always fall back in place and snag your wallet. It's frustrating. Also the 'hook side' of velcro alway snag pieces of strings and hairs and yucks.

Finally velcros are silk tie killers. I have ruined a couple of silk ties by having them snagged on the hooks while opening/closing the laptop bag with velcro fastener.

So beware of velcro....I hate it!

P.s. Velcro pockets on army uniform is also a very bad idea. When I was in the army, we were told to tape down everything that can make a noise like dog-tags, water bottles etc. So with velcro, it defeats the purpose as they open with a loud "brackkkkkk" sound.
