A small rant: Automatic Staplers
:rant:

Are we so fat and lazy that we need automatic staplers? Who the fuck is too weak to staple the goddamned papers together by pressing a small lever?

2. I've been screaming that for years
And to top it off, not one...not ONE presidential candidate has ever even used that in their platform.

3. That's an almost understandable office implement.
The one I don't understand is the automatic label peeler.

6. You know that streamline came out with their own stapler line afterwards
Everyone that saw that movie wanted a streamline stapler.

5. Obviously
You have never had to staple 1000 sets of anything.

7. An excellent point I was just about to make, myself.
And 1,000 sets of something 1/4" thick probably hasn't happened to him, either.

8. No, I haven't
I'm just so used to the old school "Smack it with your hand" staplers that the easy pushes to me feel like nothing.

10. You obviously need to
get a real copier that staples!

(I wonder what the OP thinks of those?)
