FYI: the "sticky side" of Scotch tape goes down

HOLY CRAP! It works!

I am pretty humbled now.

At least I figured it out on my own. :)

Hm there's only 2 possible ways to use a staple remover. Front and back. First time i did it, i did it wrong too. But it only took 1.5secs to figure out to try the back.

I hope you don't plan on passing on your genes!

Whoa! You aren't supposed to use it on the curved in side?
Nope... apparently, you use it on the top side (the flat side).

Or you use it to loosen the back side first and then pull the staple out with it via the front side... ;)

that;s how i use it

It's good to take a good beating every now and then. It keeps a man humble and down to earth.

Walking around like you know everything can be dangerous.

Uhmmm....wow. I'm simply flabergasted. And to think that there is actually a WRONG way to use a staple remover. *sigh*
