Default First time I really owned myself..

So i buy a paper shredder from office depot for 55 bucks without the service plan.

I hook it up and start shredding old CC statements and got a bit aggressive with the loading.

long story short, i end up bending the blades. i tried straightening them out, but they end up bending again.

i owned myself.

besides, i dont like being that type of consumer, and this is the first time I can take full blame. I used to be in retail, so I know how it goes.

umm... down with the shredder!

Fireplace FTW! Best paper shredder for the money!

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. I'd take it back and ask them if they tried to give you a display model? Or get your girl/a girl to take it in and say "it doesn't work". Female's get anything...
