I just opened a the wrapping from around a pad of (off-brand) self-stick removable notes. On the back of the wrapping is a limited waranty in three languages:
What would unsatisfactory stickie performance consist of? 
I guess it would be insufficient stickiness. But I would like to meet the person who actually goes to the trouble of returning a pack of off-brand stickies.
On second thought, I don’t think I want to meet that person.
Either that, or Krazy Glue-like stickyness.
Hmm…now that I think about it, I’d buy a package of that just for the prank potential.
That was my guess, actually.
On a legal contract. For a client one hates.
Did they offer a service plan, too, for the sticky notes? (Stealing wildly from Candid Camera.)
I had a package of them once with the sticky on the wrong side! You just never know. 
Okay, I’m either being whooshed here, or I’m missing the joke. If the sticky is on the ‘wrong’ side, can’t you just turn the pad upside down, take off the backing paper from the formerly bottom sticky and use the pad that way?
You’ve either hit the nail on the head here, or you’re absolutely correct in this speculation.
I’ve actually had a pad of sticky notes with insufficient stickiness, but never thought to return them to the store as a result.
When Post-it Notes first came out, I totally freaked out a grad student friend of mine by sticking some to some graphs for his thesis he’d been toiling over all day. He was sure I’d just ruined them.
