as I discovered after 3 minutes of trying to pull open a case and wondering where the invisible tape was.

This will solve the problem of my DVD cases spontaneously popping open.

Geez, some people have too much time on their hands.

4. Well
I can't count how many hours I spent lying awake wondering "Have all my DVD's spontaneously opened and ejected their contents on the floor?" Would my dog eat them? Would it kill him? How many times I got up in the middle of the night... just in case, mind you... to check to see if Tucker were lying on the floor amidst a pile of loose DVDs, engorged and bleeding from the mouth and anus.

And then I'd worry about other aspects - could I find a replacement copy of Andy Warhol's Dracula? Is it still in print, or would I need to find on ebay? Would I have to bid a lot? I guess I'd need a paypal account, too.

Then I'd worry about putting them all back in their cases and how I should reorganize them - I mean, if they all jumped out of their cases, it would be a perfect time to alphabetize them, no?

At least now that worry is taken care of. I can now spend my time worrying about my wine glasses leaping out of the cabinet.

2. Re:Time: Apparently
DVD cases have a whole bunch of different closing styles.

Some of them are quite stupid. I really hate it when a DVD that I've paid a pretty good $ for has a case that won't open and then won't close once you get the thing open.

3. LOL!
I'm sorry, I did the same thing about 2 weeks ago. Glad I'm not the only one.

7. I hate it when that happens
You drop one and it pops open, setting off a chain reaction. Next thing you're surrounded in popped- open cases and dvds
