I learned the hard way that our shredder doesn’t handle credit cards. I guess the 5-sheet maximum should have been my first clue. Nonetheless, I thought I had broken it the other day after a credit card got stuck in it. Secretly I was happy because I hate that thing and want to get this one instead, but Joe managed to pry free the credit card pieces wrapped around the blades and it’s working once again, although I guess it needs to be oiled because it screeches sometimes. I suppose it’s good we don’t need to spend $120 on a new shredder, but the one I want is so slick, I must have it. Hmmm … I wonder what would happen if I tried shredding a cd…
