Curious-Do you cut the tags out?

I'm just curious, My cousin who had lost 100 pounds gave me some of her clothes that didn't fit any more, I noticed that she had cut all the tags out. Than another woman at work gave me clothes that didn't fit her now that she had lost 30 pounds. She also cut out the tags. Does anyone else do that?
I just wondered how many women do that?
It would never occur to me to cut the tags out of my clothes, I always thought "I'm fat, all you have to do is look at me to see how big I am, so how is hiding the size of my clothes going to change that?"
Is it common to do this?

The only time I cut tags out is if they scratch or otherwise bother me. I kinda look like I weigh over 200 pounds and since I haven't been able to disguise that, it seems silly to cut a tag out so someone can't see what size I wear.

I have done that before but only because the tags irritated me where they were at not because of the size on them.

Same here. Seems kind of silly to me now, when I've got clothes that fit me now anywhere from L to 2X, but I remember younger and thinner days when I probably wouldn't have purchased a size 12 dress without blushing at the register!

I don't cut unless the tag bothers me. I don't think anyone can see the tags but me anyway, and I know what size I wear so what is the point.

nope, i don't ever cut the tags out.. why bother.....

plus I work for a catalog clothing company and if someone should happen to try to return one of our items and the tags are cut out, we do not accept the return.

besides.. who's gonna look inside your pants to see what size you wear..

and if you want to buy another pair that you love and the tags are cut, how are you going to easily/quickly find out the size

I'm a chronic tag cutter, especially on shirts. If the tag is not sewn flush with the article, the tag rubs my neck of the base of my spine and makes me itch.

I cut most of the shirt's tags because they irritate me, but
