Copier Label Picker Behavior

I pride myself on the detail I put into equipment turnarounds that make the machines look new again and give the next customer that warm and fuzzy good deal feeling. I am frequently frustrated by machines with low meter counts where some user(s) has stood at the machine while making copies and for some strange reason has taken their fingernail and knowingingly and strategically picked at the corner of a user instruction label. Over time it becomes cosmetically useless and is often unspared. GooGone removes the residual adhesive but sometimes a shadow is present. My theory is that the same kids in elementary school that eat boogers and pick scabs grow up to be copier label pickers. I am spreading this dimestore psycological evidence in an attempt to discredit and discourage this destructive abhorrent behavior.

After giving more thought to this problem, I can only recall observing this behavior twice in my thirty plus years. In both cases the perpetrators were women with well manicured nails. Have you ever watched those nature documentaries where the female monkey is picking and grooming her male. I think this also could be some maternal grooming instinct that subconsciencely compells this person to try and scrape off anything that seems unatural or attached as an after-thought.
