Why do I hate that? Because it creates another task I have to do. After closing the envelope I have to crumple up the backing and walk it over to the trash. I do not need to do this and the landfill doesn’t need it.

I do not like modern life. Bring back lick envelopes!
I just looked up gummed (sticky) business size on staples.com and they still offer them. Box of 500 is $18. A box of mead 50 gummed at walmart.com is $4.95. Side note, I hate when I have to send out all the tax letters for the church and I end up with a pile of strips from the envelopes under my desk that don't make it into the trashcan, then they all cling together then act like static cling when I pick them up to put in trash. Ugh. Maybe I'll order gummed ones this year along with a sponge. I don't like licking them...always get a papercut on my tongue or lip.
