Random Uses for a Paper Shredder

Who says office paper shredders have to be used for work?  Here are several random ways that you can use a paper shredder.

  • To get over your ex.  Pictures, love notes, you name it — they all make great confetti.  Take that!
  • To hold your creditors at bay.  What bill?  I didn’t get any bill.  I don’t know what you’re talking about.
  • To hide your grades from your parents.  I got As, I promise!
  • To make a really big mess.  Don’t you miss the days when making a mess was normal and expected?  Paper shredders give you a really wonderful opportunity to regress to your childhood self.  Then tell your boss you’re NOT going to clean it up, either.
  • Get back at somebody.  Maybe your boss, for writing you up for the mess you just made?  You could share a little of that mess with him, or play a fun prank — run a document partway through a strip-cut shredder, turn the shredder off, and then put the document back on his desk where you found it!

Bonus points: With the first four suggestions, be sure to use a really good shredder, like a Fellowes shredder or a cross-cut shredder — something that shreds everything really tiny.  The more (pieces), the merrier!
