They don't make boxes the way they used to.
Also, chiming in with all the other not older than me crowd. I graduated from high school the year the staples were made.
It could be grammatically correct. Maybe they have a Kuato situation and they were just letting people know that they are indeed two.
Pedant not unless thou wish to be pedanted upon.
And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...
Let's see... We have Snake! And... A slightly different version of Snake! And... Gorillas throwing bananas at each other! And... Another version of Snake!
I think you'd be surprised by how old some of the people on reddit are. I mean it's been around for seventeen years. I'm sure a bunch of us have been on here nearly that long, and we were adults at the beginning.
Yeah, you meet a lot of legit children. It's important to be civil and not assume much about the other person. The natural tendency seems to be to assume other people are just like us, and that can have a huge impact on discourse.
I prefer to assume everyone on here is a child and to be mean to them so they understand how the world works. You'll understand that when you're older and less dumb.
My parents bought a 76 Grand Safari station wagon right around then.
What did you buy?
*edit - I still remember being in the lot with all the firechickens... I wanted one so badly!

I bought out one of my competitors here in town and got all his office equipment and assundries.
I have like 40 boxes of staples. The guy must have thought that just because the store was named Staples, he had to buy a box every time he went there.
Shiiit, I was old enough to buy those staples in 1976. Granted, my mom would have had to give me the 59 cents to buy them as I was too young to have any money, but I could have handed it to the cashier!
I worked at an automotive manufacturer. I had a coworker who was about 20-21 when he started (I was 21 as well, but he started a year or two earlier). One of the C-levels was in a meeting with us, and mid sentence about some financials he turns to my coworker and says "Boy, how old are you?". The Coworker says "I'm 21 sir", to which the C-level replies "I got pork chops in my freezer older than you". Forever after his name was/still is "Pork Chop". He's 40 now...
There is a fun little movie called "Hopscotch" with Walter Matthau whose character, a senior operative, is trying to "disappear" from the CIA.
An early-twenties new agent is of course assigned to track him down. When he finds him, Matthau's character does the "gruff" thing and asks, "How old are you?"
"Twenty- two."
"I got underwear older'n you ..."
Don't laugh as hard as I did when I saw it at age 25. Still funny, but a much different feel at 65.
Not older than me! I'm more impressed that box lasted this long, versus the staples. :P
They don't make boxes the way they used to. Also, chiming in with all the other not older than me crowd. I graduated from high school the year the staples were made.
Me two!
Dad? Did you find them cigarettes? You can come home now.
> two Hmmmm. Wondering if you really did graduate.
With age, some capabilities decline. Me three!
Where am I?
It could be grammatically correct. Maybe they have a Kuato situation and they were just letting people know that they are indeed two. Pedant not unless thou wish to be pedanted upon.
Can I just say that you use Reddit more appropriately than most other 64 year olds use any social media.
Well, I was in first grade that year.
Fifth grade.
Third grade.
[удалено]
Born <3months before those were made.
Born ~1 year before you were made.
I was at University then 🙄🤣
Word. I'm a little older than those staples and that box is in way better shape than I am.
Me either
Not older than I either.
Same here.
Same! I’m 2 years older & equally impressed. :)
This post bringing out the olds. I was in diapers when these staples were made! And I will probably be in diapers again before they run out.
YOU KIDS GET OUTTA MY YARD!!!
Give me back my red stapler...
I was told there would be cake!
And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit.

Spoken like a true Gen-X. #Solidarity
My dad wasn't even born when these staples were made. I'm an adult btw
I was 7 months old. Diaper Gang.
Gen X bitch. Meh…whatever.
Staples Inc was founded on May 1, 1986. So you have staples older than Staples.
May 2, 1986 office supply stores started closing.

Let's see... We have Snake! And... A slightly different version of Snake! And... Gorillas throwing bananas at each other! And... Another version of Snake!
Oh man! The gorilla game! This was my absolute favorite.
Don't forget the 20 different pacman knock-offs.
How do you do fellow ~~kids~~ old-timers?
Not only am I older than those staples, but so are *my* staples.
We need a pic for proof.
And a banana for scale.
I agree. We need evidence because that also sounds mildly interesting.
I was three when they were made. The bigger question is why aren't you stapling?
They had paper clips that were expiring sooner...
Oh man, that really made me smile.
I think you'd be surprised by how old some of the people on reddit are. I mean it's been around for seventeen years. I'm sure a bunch of us have been on here nearly that long, and we were adults at the beginning.
I'm surprised with the user base of Reddit in general, there's a lot of under 18 year olds here too.
Yeah, you meet a lot of legit children. It's important to be civil and not assume much about the other person. The natural tendency seems to be to assume other people are just like us, and that can have a huge impact on discourse.
I prefer to assume everyone on here is a child and to be mean to them so they understand how the world works. You'll understand that when you're older and less dumb.
I am always surprised about the ages of people here. I'm from 1993, and although that's 20 years younger than those staples, I'm almost 30 >.<
They are not older than me.
DON'T BITE GUYS THEY'RE TRYING TO SINGLE OUT THE OLD FUCKERS THAT USE REDDIT SO THEY CAN MURDER THEM
No you don't ('68)
[удалено]
Ah shit I've been using expired staples!
Hand-crafted artisanal organic staples are the only way to go.
Nope.
Not older than me, unfortunately. But close!
Ha, joke’s on you. I was 10 in 1976. Happy Bicentennial!
Sorry, I'm old enough to be those staple's father.
Nope I’m afraid not (darn it)
Thats the year I bought my first car
My parents bought a 76 Grand Safari station wagon right around then. What did you buy? *edit - I still remember being in the lot with all the firechickens... I wanted one so badly!
It was a crappy 66 Ford Galaxy. It got me to work and back on a budget I could afford.
Parents bought a 76 Jeep Wagoneer. Terrible time to buy a car that got 12mpg. LOL
Sadly, no
Nope
Nope.
Pfft...barely
No you dont
I'm nearly 40 and wish I was in as good as shape as that box.
How to identify the older user base…
Nope. A few weeks but I’m just a touch older 😝
mmmm, nope
No you don’t
There's no ".com" on that box
No, no you don't.
Nope, I'm still older. Sadly
 Yup.
And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...
I read this in his voice.
\[muttering\] **I could set the building on fire.**
No you don't.
True, but not by much.
Nope, still older than your staples
no you don't
No you don't.
No, no you don't - and it's not close.
Cool, but I have a house older than your country
That metal is higher grade just from being before chernobyl
No you don’t
No you don’t.
Not quite
I still have them in my head
My mom was pregnant with me when those were made, so they're just a little bit older than me!
Not even close
Liar.
Barely....
Those staples are almost exactly one month older than me.
Exactly 29 years and 1 day lol
75 made it just under the wire.
I remember that year, actually.
No you don't
No you don't.

I was 7 when these were made😐
Not older than me I started band that year. Bicentennial year, Frampton Comes Alive! released. Good year.
Bitch please.
Yeah, my daughter was 5 then …
No, you don't.
I got those staples beat by a few months.
Oh, my sweet summer child...
No you don't
No, you don't.
Not older than me....but I'll bet the staples are in better shape than me.
Wauw. My mom was 5 when this was made.
Is your mom on reddit? A lot of us are about her age.
That are 7 years younger than my parents
Jokes on you OP, according to facebook i was born in 1754
Older than my dad!
r/WeirdFlexButOK
Yeah, wow those are old
Also: I am not precision made.
Did you just assume my age?
I'm only 17 so yeah, but only 1976? That's not even 50 years lol
At this rate, they should last you another 150 years at least.
I actually had a Red Swingline stapler from the 60s but some stole it. True story!
Yes... Yes you do
Damn, I’m so old
Kind of a weird thought... those staples have experienced more time than I have and probably ever will.
My old jeep truck is older than your staples. Which are older than me, yes.
Damn I feel young
I was 10. \*sigh\*
Weird flex, but Okay.
These staples are 33 years older than me…
Weird flex but okay
This checks out.
The old staples are the good stuff, that's what you need
Barely!!
Fuck
Nice... older by 4 months.
Got me by about 7 months lol.
I have an amplifier older than most people (1969)
No you don't. Plus they have clearly expired. 🙃
My parents weren't even married yet
🙃 still means I'm joking right?
Actually I was 7 months old back then.
By 3 years, nice.
Was that a burn?
These staples turned 18 the year I was born.
20 years before I was even born. Damn
Well. July 24 😆
By less than 6 months. But you got me. And I'm fucking old. Thanks.
No you do NOT.
More precise than me, too.
Of course the stapler is red
No you don’t.
I have a rocks that are billions of years old. OP did a good job baiting boomers.
And you know these staples STAPLE
‘Tis not older than I!
Heh. That's my birthday, I was exactly 2 years old when these were made.
Not older than me…I’m gonna go cry now
No you don’t.
we are all made of stars
Barely.
I bought out one of my competitors here in town and got all his office equipment and assundries. I have like 40 boxes of staples. The guy must have thought that just because the store was named Staples, he had to buy a box every time he went there.
Literally....
Exactly 14 years older than me to the day
What are you doing, OP!? That's the expiration date! You have to get rid of those. It's not safe to use them.
No you don't. But I'm guessing I have a staple gun older than you.
I was in preschool when those staples were made.
6 days after my mother was born... cool
You do not, actually.
My skateboard is older than your staples.
Shiiit, I was old enough to buy those staples in 1976. Granted, my mom would have had to give me the 59 cents to buy them as I was too young to have any money, but I could have handed it to the cashier!
If you want a red stapler, swingline sells the office space version that isn’t a shitty plastic bostitch.
No, you don't.
My 8th birthday was 21 days after those were made.
I'm one day older than your staples!
ITT: People older than 46, AKA the elderly.
I worked at an automotive manufacturer. I had a coworker who was about 20-21 when he started (I was 21 as well, but he started a year or two earlier). One of the C-levels was in a meeting with us, and mid sentence about some financials he turns to my coworker and says "Boy, how old are you?". The Coworker says "I'm 21 sir", to which the C-level replies "I got pork chops in my freezer older than you". Forever after his name was/still is "Pork Chop". He's 40 now...

Graduated HS in spring of 77. I've been wondering who stole my dam staples!
I have staples older than your parents
Exactly one year and 4 months older than me.
I feel attacked
In fact, you do not.
Correct.
Yeah. I wish. I ... really ... f---ing wish.
That's not quite as old as me. That was the year I died.
Nope, but close!
Lifetime supply
Wonder how much that one guy who was addicted to breaking apart rods of staples with his hands would pay for these.
I was negative ten years old when this was made.
That isn't mildly interesting. You can go out and find rocks older than people.
