It did not even cross my mind because I was imagining the technique my teachers had employed. I didn’t even think of doing it the civil way by placing the ends between in the stapler and pressing. The paper was in a long strip and I would staple it at the end. One day I was creating a hat – more specifically, a crown – of paper. Come on, I had seen this kind of thing from the age of five right through to the age of nine.Īmazed by this effortless technique, yet not owning a board to be able to practise on, I continued to think about it. I had seen my teachers staple posters to walls and noticeboards with a stapler, and seeing things this way – the way they opened the stapler 180 degrees, and pressed the top of the stapler flat on the wall, successfully attaching our wonderful works of art to the already messy noticeboard – really amazed me. I had a traumatising experience, which would, on other planets, be considered hilarious or funny. And my severe phobia of these metal pins started when I was about nine or ten years old. Okay, apparently they are called “fasteners” too ( thanks Wikipedia). I am really sure you understand what I’m talking about. They’re like thin steel pins bent into shape, usually punched at the edge or corner of a stack of paper. I’m talking the metal things that hold sheets of paper together. Amongst all the fears I have – rejection, dying, porn, burgers, glass, the dark, being alone, getting lost – the worst is probably staples. doi:10.I have a really terrible fear of staples.
