Shred ties
8.19.09 by CypyI was waiting this afternoon to get a fee-waiver for a standardized test in the delightfully cubic office of my delightfully bland school, sitting on a colorful bench made of wood and painted by students (it seemed) when I happened to glance down, and to the right over my shoulder. A paper shredder stood in the corner by the painted bench on which I was seated. It looked up at me, begging, as if it wanted me to personify it in a blog post. I looked back, and noticed the warning symbols printed on its top. One was a pictorial representation of a human hand being stuffed into the top of the paper shredder. “Don’t do this,” it seemed to say. The next was a pictorial representation of a necktie being fed into the paper shredder. “Don’t do this either,” it seemed to say. “Especially when the necktie is around your neck,” it added.
I considered this warning. Why did the manufacturer decide to add it to the paper shredder? Maybe there have been past incidents. It makes sense. People in offices often wear neckties. People in offices often use paper shredders. This begged the question: why do people in offices wear neckties if they are so dang close to paper shredders all the time?! Ties are uncomfortable. Ties take a long time to tie. Ties flap around uselessly.
My conclusion after minutes of thought, was that ties are a ridiculous fashion but people in offices decide to wear them to work anyway in hopes of “accidentally” getting them caught in the paper shredder, destroying most of the tie, and then using their pocket scissors to free themselves in the nick of time before strangulation becomes a possibility. End of story.
