Ripping labels = sexual frustration
Has anyone everyone ever heard this??? If you rip labels off of a drink..... (soda bottle, juice bottle, Snapple, etc.) it supposedly a sign of sexual frustration! I've heard it from more than one person. (And lately it seems to be true
 ) I wondered if anyone else has heard this before or of any others.

It probably stems from the fact that most people see the act of peeling the paper label off a bottle as a sign of anxiety and a lot of people also believe sex relieves anxiety... ergo, if you're peeling the labels you're obviously not getting laid.

Oh dear, I'd never heard of this, and I almost always peel labels* - always have. It's definitely not due to any kind of frustration, but it could explain some of the amused looks and comments, I suppose.
Primarily from beer bottles, but any sticker will do.

If you were able to sucessfully peel the label off your beer, it was a sure bet that you were getting laid that night. I can't recall how many times I heard whoops of drunken triumph followed by a waving that silly piece of paper in the air.

Heh, there are a good 50 ways of spotting the sexually frustrated in a pub long before you start getting Freudian with label picking.
Picking labels indicates a manually dexterous individual, an individual who has recently quit smoking or somebody who is just really really bored by the poor excuse for company that they are having to endure

Playing with beermats is the pint-drinkers version of picking at bottle labels - exactly the same thing - if you idly pick and peel a soggy mat it's a sign of frustrated dexterity or boredom/agitation - it's also a sure sign the drinker has had at least three.
If you frissbee them around the pub or pick them to pieces creating a huge mess this indicates you are a wanker!

I rip the labels off of bottles all the time.
But it's not because of sexual frustration. I just don't believe in labels.

I heard that if a guy rips off labels and uses his, uh, doesn't use his hands to do it, if you know what I mean, that's a definite indicator.

Ahhh yes the old label peeler. Not too much trouble, however if you are having a vodka tonic and crunch your ice, while peeling the label of your friends beer...thats a sure sign it has been at least several calendar months since you did the wild thing.

What I was told is that playing with candles (as in peeling of wax drops, shaping the tip and things like that) is a sign of sexual frustration. Never heard about peeling off labels.

So does stacking empty shot/cocktail glasses into pyramid shapes count as being sexually frustrated...or is it more like Close Encounters where I am actually trying to find that place where I will be taken aboard the mothership.

DH will be very amused to hear about this label thing, since not only do I peel off labels, I also stick them on my forehead and announce to him that I'm on the patch! In truth, I only peel labels if I didn't bring my book. He and his friend talk technical computer stuff, and I can only smile and nod for so long before pulling out a book.

What level of sexual frustration is indicated if you start scraping the paint off a coke can with your fingernails?

So... Is there anything out there that doesn't indicate sexual frustration? Because, well, it seems that all my little habits are sending the wrong message... :o

I'll tell you how that legend started
It was started by bartenders, waitstaff, and bus boys who have to clean up all those little dribbles of paper. Oh, and don't think I didn't see you stuff them down in the cushions.
