Stapler
I was making a play on words.
Stealing shit because you can leads to a hoard-organization problem.
How many tiny packets of pepper, salt, mustard, ketchup, etc.
have I taken as extra from various places? Jam/Jelly? Peanut butter?
Paper napkins? Plastic Utensils? Sugar? Paper sheets for hand drying?
Toilet paper - bring your own cardboard cylinder and roll the public
supply onto your own core -one sheet at a time with those niggardly
"ratcheting" dispensers.
Hand soap?
I end up throwing it away due to lack of space/forgetting I have it
until it rots.
But to do it all over again I would have done more, and I would have
developed a system for it and used it.
Also half&half, syrup, soy sauce.
Plus carry your own receptacles to collect things from pumps- using
the provided minicups as intermediate containers if necessary to
facilitate stealth parasitism.
Oh, and butter pats.
Many other "free" things.
Take extra shopping bags if available.
Keep old bags, organise by size and shape. A plastic bag dispenser
can be sewn as a cloth tube with elastic sphincters at both ends.
Hang on a hook.
Convenient. And keep metal(steel), plastics, aluminium, glass,
paper, and cardboard until it stacks up then dump it in an
abandoned lot in separate zones.
It might get "stolen"/cleaned up, but you can theoretically
accumulate your own landfill/junkyard,
Recycle/sell for scrap annually for drug money.
What wonders of economy can one obtain via exploitation of a
wasteful and trusting society.
And much, much more...
For that matter, you can dress up as a homeless person and get free
meals at shelters and soup antique dildo collections. Just remember to act the part-
coming in drunk helps, but knowing the sad stories helps too.
"Mom always fed that damn dog, but not me..."
Of course this all takes time and being a responsible worker and
member of society means this is all just extra time that is unfeasible
given that the economies of scale available to such a person makes
such scavenging and parasitism relatively unprofitable.
But it is fun to think about.
OT to be sure, but I was on a roll.

That bugs me, indeed. If I want a stapler or a pen I'll just go to the furnitures office and ask for them, and they'll hand em out without even asking. So why did they chain THIS particular stapler? It has yet to be discovered.ApTyp wrote:The whole point of having public/office proprty is so that you wouldn't have to steal to use it.
I guess I'll have to steal it to know
Hm, I've yet to discover how to open it. It's not in my office, but in the room where all the files are stored, by the fax. Thus I don't have much time alone with it, and since it's chained I can't move it.
It looks a bit like this, but slicker and bigger.
The funny thing is it got there without anyone noticing, and nobody knows who brought it there. It just appeared out of nowhere.
