RiffRaff Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 In all my years working in offices, I've never seen anybody choose to use the other option, where the staple legs splay out rather than being folded in. What's the point of the other option? Is there a particular profession/task that utilises it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCuppa Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 It makes it easier to remove, and can be used with more pages of paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horribleblob Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 That option is useful if you have multi-page documents that need to be photocopied or scanned, as the staple comes out easily. In my first ever full-time job (as a clerk), I used to use that option, or steel pins, to keep pages together. Paperclips were a luxury in that office.

I was told that it's so if you're making a big stack of stapled documents the staples fit together better as they pile up. You'd have to be very accurate in you're stapling and stacking for that to work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries22 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 In my days of working in an office, paper clips were the order of the day, Staplers are very modern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Can anyone tell me why they always go missing? Or why when you fill it up, then wander away for a moment, it somehow has emptied its self on your return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert_Baehr Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 When I saw the title of this thread, I thought: "Wow! - That's an office! - They have a person whose job is stapling things together?" (The humble office stapler.) Is that the sort of job you can look forward to if you've got a degree in underwater basket weaving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The humble office stapler.) We used to but now we have to do our own stapling. I think it's something to do with the Big Society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
