Why is frog tape pulling off paint?

If there is any garbage, holes, or imperfections on your surface, the tape will not be able to stick to it effectively. Any gaps will allow the paint to fill in the spaces, and when the paint is dry, it will lift up with the tape with it. The end effect is frequently a muddled shambles.
