However, some stupid idiotic parents think it’s okay to staple all down the fucking side of the booklet when the sheets fall apart, or in the corner, which undeniably enrages me. To put it simply: I hate it.Īt work, the children’s worksheets are bound together in a booklet so that they are easily ripped, like notepaper from a notepad with the glued spine. I withdrew my hands from the stapler only to find my two forefingers successfully attached to the idiotic crown I had created, blood oozing out from the teeth marks the executed staple had made in my skin.Įver since, I have tried to refrain from having to remove staples from paper, but my hands always seem to shake a bit when I handle anything with staples. I opened the stapler to 180 degrees and held the paper up in front of me, pushing the stapler forward. It did not even cross my mind because I was imagining the technique my teachers had employed. I didn’t even think of doing it the civil way by placing the ends between in the stapler and pressing. The paper was in a long strip and I would staple it at the end. One day I was creating a hat – more specifically, a crown – of paper. Come on, I had seen this kind of thing from the age of five right through to the age of nine.Īmazed by this effortless technique, yet not owning a board to be able to practise on, I continued to think about it. I had seen my teachers staple posters to walls and noticeboards with a stapler, and seeing things this way – the way they opened the stapler 180 degrees, and pressed the top of the stapler flat on the wall, successfully attaching our wonderful works of art to the already messy noticeboard – really amazed me. I had a traumatising experience, which would, on other planets, be considered hilarious or funny.
And my severe phobia of these metal pins started when I was about nine or ten years old. Okay, apparently they are called “fasteners” too ( thanks Wikipedia). I am really sure you understand what I’m talking about. They’re like thin steel pins bent into shape, usually punched at the edge or corner of a stack of paper. I’m talking the metal things that hold sheets of paper together. Amongst all the fears I have – rejection, dying, porn, burgers, glass, the dark, being alone, getting lost – the worst is probably staples. In some cases, the nature of the item means that it is non-returnable, for example, due to hygiene/health and personal care/wellness/consumable nature of the product.I have a really terrible fear of staples.
