She went to snap a line of staples and got five into her finger, and dropped the stapler onto the stone tiles which broke the hinge on the stapler. I'm not so concerned about the stapler it was junk anyhow and I was looking for an excuse to order a new one, but the staples to the finger created some unnecessary paperwork and was frankly not her brightest moment anyhow.
Yeah, I drove her to the urgent care clinic up the road, they removed them and bandaged her fingers, and I took her home early. The store's insurance is going to cover the care bill.
anyone in any sort of educational role be it student or teacher, a lot of people in a large office space, anyone that runs a competition with moderately large groups of people, etc etc
My kids use paper clips. WTF would I want a teacher coming after my insurance because they cut their finger on a staple. Staples are for morons that don't have clue. And what type of competition did you enter that required a staple?
Most people that work with large amounts of paper (see: teachers) HATE paper clips because they will almost ALWAYS come loose when in a stack of papers. Thinking a teacher is gonna come after you because they cut their finger on a staple is so fucking stupid. Paper clips are for morons that don't understand how friction works.
To address your edit: any competition that has a large amounts of competitors is gonna hand out multiple pages of match ups for the schedule of the stapled together so you don't lose a page and fail to show up to a match. One example is robotics competitions where you have 2-3 minutes between each match to do maintenance on the bot, confer with your next ally for the game plan, figure out what opponent you are up against and confer with your scouts about what their bots do and what their game plan with probably be, and try not to run over the other bots in your club that share a general area for the pits.
Look @Bethorien the only people using staplers today work for the government, libraries and some ignorant teachers that don't understand how the internet works.
for the schedule of the stapled together so you don't lose a page and fail to show up to a match. Where did you even get that?

And this? Do you even robotics? We text. I can show someone how to change the programming in a couple of terms.
My robotics team was in the top 3% in the world. The people who are on the team are not the people who give out the schedule. Each team is handed one set of papers that is the schedule. The competition staff do not have your phone number. The competition staff barely have the email for the team and don't use it for giving out the schedule. The schedule is made on site after all the teams that checked in are thrown in the competition system and it spits out a schedule where everyone has 7 matches. This is then printed off en mass, stapled, and put in every pit one by one. Whether or not you can tell someone how to change the programming in a couple terms (if you are telling someone else to fuck with the program you're already screwed) is completely irreverent to the fact that the most effective way of getting the schedule to all the teams at a competition is 3 pieces of paper stapled together and hand delivered to every pit.
@bethorien i think not bother with the ignorance on this one, their way of thinking is that if they don't do it, no one else does, like they don't ride a motorbike, so therefore no one else does, they can't fly a plane, so no one else does either.
@iccarus. I can do both. and I laugh that you think the most effective way of scheduling teams is stapled paper and not e-mail or text. Next you'll be reading newspapers and Cosmopolitan.
When I was in elementary school, there were four guys who kept stapling staples into their legs and the class lost access to staples. Staples are fun and no, I didn't read what you guys were fighting about but staples are good.

So one individual with access to the paper could screw the entire tournament. You need to step up and tell them to stop using staples. They could just send you an e-mail or text.
@this_isntme Did a staple steal your girlfriend and kill your mother? Good god you seem like a staple destroyed everything that you’ve loved and will ever love, calm down. I use staples at work to keep all the applications and liability forms for my customers together - i cannot afford to lose even one single paper off it. Afterwards I would file the stapled set, paper clips would only make it bulky and I could potentially lose an important sheet.
Stop being such a hater staples are obviously more effective cuz paper clips come off easier than staples. You could get hurt using a paper clip too ya know, in fact you could even get hurt by a hashbrown (hu hu hu)
