Frustration stick

Postby kingkongkyle1 » Sep 14th, '07, 16:12



Im not sure if this is classed as exposure but ive recently purchased something called a frustration stick and basically what it is, is a stick with a loop of rope on the end which is to small to go over the end if it, you then tie it on to someones shirt button hole and the trick is that they cant take it of. But i cant even manage to put it on as there is a technique to doing this. If anyone has got this would they please be able to give me any advice thanks.

I have fond memories of attaching this to my cousin's jacket when she was chatting and my boss's husband apparently likes making them out of pencils.

The trouble is that it's darn near impossible to explain in words how to put it on and take it off. You really need to see illustrated instructions.

Unless...someone hasn't attached it to your clothing, have they? :wink:

I know how it's done, and I can't follow that!

:D

Seriously, though, try Da_danny's suggestion and let us know if it helped.
