IG-64 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I have the fortune of having a shredder, which I use with glee on all the applications I get. (apparently 17 isn't too young to sign up for a credit card) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I don't know, maybe it's just the shredder I have, but it'd be no problem taping the papers back to together. All the thing does is shred them in a line. I guess it makes the thieves work a bit harder, and if it's too much work they move on. That's pretty panthetic, I'd definately try to throw a big stink at the company if I did what the guy did, and they accepted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but even if you have a not so good shredder, if you shred alot of things, it'll put it all in the same bin and get it mixed up with all the other shredded stuff making it nearly impossible to find all the pieces and put them back together.

Not impossible, just a really, really, really big pain in the buttocks. Moe: They want your money and you in debt, of course they'll accept it.

Datheus Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Yeah, they'll pretty much take whatever they can get. This is why I burn almost all of my paper trash, especially what I consider sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
