Popping Bubble Wrap
Why is that so enjoyable? It doesn't even seem to annoy people when they see you doing it, it's more like, hhhhhmmmmm, bubble wrap.

1. It's more like
"Hey, could you rip me off a piece of that?"

Don't know why, but it's very satisfying.

2. I attribute it to when I was a kid
and my dad would rent a VCR (remember those days?) it always had bubble wrap around it....until me that is! Then I became hooked.

3. I gave my
daughter's mother-in-law some saved up bubble wrap.

She just enjoys popping it? Other than that she seems fairly normal!

Are you there Pattie?

4. You mean there are other people who
love bubble wrap? I especially like the wrap with the big bubbles. What the heck is so satisfying about popping it, I wonder? I actually feel jealous if someone else is popping it. Very interesting. I wonder what it means.

7. I ordered books online this week..
and they came packaged with HUGE bubbles! I mean, four of them would be comparable to my head! And when they popped, they scared the dog, lol..

8. I'm constantly surrounded by bubble wrap
The store I work at has lots of glass products.

Ahh, the simple pleasure derived from popping bubble wrap.

9. At my grandma's house around Christmas
I'd sometimes help her set up at her house and all the people in the nativity scene came in bubble wrap, so I'd unwrap all of them and then pop away.

14. My take on the satisfaction
it's a mindless release and the joy and satisfaction plays out in psychological balancing for all the grief and loss we all felt when our balloons hit those little shards of plaster on the ceiling and went POP, or we lost our grip and it went sailing off into the wild blue yonder - Whaaaaaaaaaa

WE ARE NOW IN CONTROL of those little bags of hot air!
