When I prepare a file and give it to you held together with a giant black alligator clip, I expect it to come back with a giant black alligator clip.
STOP STEALING THE CLIP and returning the file back to me as a mess of papers that are all falling apart. —Tidiness is next to godliness

Do you pay for the clip? If not, get a new one. Those things practically grow on trees.
stealing, that’s harsh words there. unless you own the business you are at, and the other person is an employee, there is no theft,if it is still on premises. and why would you use a big black clip for anyway, the smaller ones not impressive enough for your majesty. this should have been tagged as “asshole alert”.
Another day; another box of pens. In lieu of a health plan, take what you can.
LS, I suspect the file is big enough to warrant a big clip.
Also, I think some of the irritation is coming because receiving a file in complete disarray when you took the time to get everything in order is not fun. I know, because this happens to me constantly.
Tidiness is next to godliness and the box of clips are next to the box of pens. “I expect” is too often met with disappointment. Lower your expectations, OP.
Hey at my office someone stole my adjustable set square and 2 scale rulers, none of which were cheap! I’ve had those since university! 🙁 They just helped themselves to my desk drawer.
i got an idea; go postal … i mean black paper clips theft = death for all; it’s the only way to be sure 🙂
Take a laxative, OP, your anal pucker is way too tight. It’s a fucking clip not a gold bar.
I used to give my boss stuff in new file folders and she would return them in old ones or with none at all. When she was on mat leave I had to find something in her office and discovered stacks of new folders, all colour coded and not being used for anything.
Reminded me of those hoarding shows.
Just raid the stationary at work.
If this is the worst part of your day, consider yourself pretty damn lucky.
I think the OP means they gave it to them clipped and wants the file returned clipped out of courtesy
Maybe they’re taking the clips home to be used as nipple clamps in some weird sexual role-playing game. Apparently they feel nice on a girl’s nipples.
qpm… – They feel good on a guy’s nipples too 🙂 Gotta love guys who’s tits are hardwired to their dicks!
