what does shredding really do? I mean, if someone really wanted your info, it really wouldnt take a rocket scientist to merge the shreds.
 
Okay... so you know she goes through your trash.

Have some fun.
I can think of at least half a dozen practical jokes to play.

(some require making sure there are no fingerprints and nothing that can be traced back to you)

-handwritten note to "Abdul"
"3 tons of C-4 are already in place. Just waiting for the signal. Yours in Allah, Mohammed. P.S. throw this note out when you get it so it isn't found in your apartment."

or..

"Slycat, your customer rewards number that you can apply for 90% off the price of any new television is 23947A258B28CD.
Please call xxx xxx-xxxx to place your order. As it is the holiday season, you or your friends are welcome to use the coupon up to 10 times. Thank you so much for your business during this past year and may you have a wonderful holiday season."
Provide one of those $50 a minute Caribbean phone numbers.

People really shred their garbage? If somebody wants to route around my rotten chicken carcus for information, that's their prerogative. I'm not going to shred my trash like some consipiracy theorist 🙂

exactly, why did you write down the code on another paper, when you already had the original coupon code.

Yea that boggles my mind.
 
You should edit in a poll. I'm with the "one man's trash" crowd. Actually that principle has helped me when throwing out big stuff, like a couch recently - it disappeared the second night I had it out by the road 🙂

It makes casual theft much less tempting.

I think the embarassment is overshadowed by the fact that she is digging through your damn trash

It makes it funnier when the comments come from Walken. I can imagine him saying it, in his broken sentence acting style.

Wait till you have a bunch of stuff to shred & then do it so there's a ton of paper spaghetti.
 
Our shredder shreds the paper both ways into little squares, it would be extremely hard to put that back together expecially with 100s of other papers in the same bag that were shredded the same way.
 
what kind of idiot writes down the code and throws out the original? I simply can not comprehend this one bit. You deserve to lose it.
 
do you have any pictures of her? photochop them, like put her head on a naked body, print them out, and put them in your trash.. that'll freak her out!
 
Throw in some used condoms and a few huge numbered checks that JUST HAPPEN to have her name on them and laugh as she gets hit with a few 'bounced check' fees.

I'd like to see someone try to put together something after my Fellowes Cross-Cut Shredder gets done with it.
