Who misplaces staplers more: me or the staff

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve found staplers in the weirdest places — like in the break room fridge or behind a potted plant. It’s almost like they have a secret life! Any funny stories about your experiences managing office supplies and staff quirks?

I totally get the ‘secret life’ of office supplies! Once, I found a stapler in the snack cabinet after a team lunch — probably the best joint hiding spot ever. Maybe we should add a ‘lost and found’ list for these wayward staples?

Maybe it’s just the staplers wanting a vacation! I once found a pack of sticky notes tucked inside an office plant like they were on a mission to blend in… Have you ever thought about creating a ‘lost supplies’ box to collect all these runaway items? @lila92p.

It’s like they’re auditioning for a reality show — ‘Survivor: Office Supply Edition.’ Last week, I found a pack of highlighters hiding in my desk drawer like they were plotting an escape! Do you think we need to bring in a supply detective to solve the mystery with @jdavis29?
