I've complained for five years about what a crappy electric pencil sharpener I have.

I've complained for five years about what a crappy electric pencil sharpener I have. The motor ran real inconsistently, and it had trouble detecting an inserted pencil, and you had to hold it above the desk and at an angle to make it run, and the longer you ran it the weaker the motor ran so you had to remove and reinsert a really dull pencil to sharpen it completely. "What a cheap junk heap!" I complained, and somehow with all the complaining I forgot that you have to empty the things on occasion.

Today, over five years of pencil shavings showered over my desk in a ticker-tape parade of sawdust, plastic, and ozone. The little pencil sharpener's plastic receptacle-thingy just kinda exploded from all the pressure, and this burst of shmutz covered my work, my desk, and my face. Oh, and my pencil was ruined.

The powdered graphite left black streaks on everything I owned. And the pencil sharpener runs perfectly now, like new, without a single problem. Guess it wasn't the pencil sharpeners fault. And I've been complaining for five years.

When I was a lad, we didn't have electric pencil sharpeners.

And that's the way it was.

And we liked it.

Notes to self:

1. Empty shavings out of pencil sharpener every 4 years and 11 months.

Not me, I promise.

And all of this time it never occurred to you to buy another $10.00 pencil sharpener?

Just kiddin'

I'd say it's a tossup as to whether you're smarter than the pencil sharpener or vice versa.

While I appreciate the "u r dum LOL" sentiment expressed in this thread, I feel I should point out once more that that confession was from grouphug.us, not my personal experience.
