Why duct tape?

[esbie11]

I know many times folks on here joke about bringing duct tape to quite your nagging wife and shut up the obnoxious children next door, but is there a real reason to bring duct tape? I am making a packing list and not sure if I should really put it on the list:p

I only took clear duct tape one time...2 use for um, support when I had to go commando under my formal gown. :eek::D

80+ cruises and I've never remotely found myself wishing I had duct tape on any of them...

Never brought it--never needed it! If you DO end up needing some, I'm pretty certain they have some in the maintenance dept. on the ship!!!!

To keep your suitcase closed because you bought too many souveniers?

 

To build some wacky thing for a scavenger hunt or pool contest?

 

To mark your suitcase so it stands out?

Never brought it, never needed it. But have heard it makes a good strapless bra!!! But ouch taking it off!!!! ;)

you can pull the skin really tight on your thigh at the panty line and duct tape it. It enables 60 yr old women to wear shorts. Same goes for the underarm.

Im sorry to hell with vanity!! Let the wiggle jiggle.

 

As my Mom used to say "It must be jelly, cuz jam doesnt jiggle"

A couple of years ago the volume control for the speaker in the cabin was broken. It would just about blast you out of the room. We covered the speaker with a piece of duct tape and it was fine. Could still hear in case of emergency, but was not left the busted eardrums.

Some things I have used duct tape for...

Rattling closet doors during rough seas.

DH used it on the balconey divider that was rattling.

To hold the button down on the hair dryer on board.

To fix the suitcase handle the Air line broke

It is one of the only TWO things you really need!!

 

If it moves and it shouldn't - use duct tape!

If it should move and it doesn't - use WD-40! :D

 

Laissez le bon temps roulez - Let the good times roll !!

But what for? Enquiring minds need to know:D

 

1) hemming pants

2) taping the cord for the surge protector/ multiplug to the floor so we don't trip over it

3) de-rattling the closet door

4) repairing torn suitcase

5) taping decorative lights to the balcony rail

6) holding the world together (“Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.” Oprah)

I vote for the last reason. We've had that happen and were glad we had something to fix it with.

Also, no need for "supportive" undergarments with these prom dresses.....:D

You never know when duct tape could come in handy. Once our deck door had a problem closing completely causing a "whistle" noise. Just slapped a piece of tape over it and no more problem. You could even "go formal" with duct tape......
