as high alchohol:water ratio as possible.

Man up and use a dime.

Im so mad, I got a refurbished Xbox 360 slim and they slapped a big old mother loving "REFURBISHED LOL CHEAP ASS" sticker on the side of it. It's really big, and when I tried to take it off, the sticky stuff stuck to it. I used rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover and even vodka lol, but it's still on it and will probably never come off.

I mean really, Microsoft? Now I lay it on it's side so no one can see it.

You should use a toothpick or a dime to remove it.

There is some stuff you can buy to remove that stuff.

That worked, but you can still tell that the sticker was there.

Is it a stain, or can it be removed?

What I did was pick at it with something, then rub alcohol on it, then pick some more, then boom toothpaste and hand sanitizer up in this bitch holy forget my life is complete.

Microsoft was just mad at you for not buying full price.
