Techniques for Surfing the Stapler

Surfing the stapler is an art form that requires skill, patience, and a healthy dose of desperation. Here are a few techniques to get you started.

Technique #1: The Pinch and Poke

Hold the stapler firmly in your non-dominant hand and use your other hand to gently pinch the tape in place, then quickly poke the stapler into the tape.

Technique #2: The Flick and Fudge

Use a flicking motion with your wrist to get the tape to cooperate with the stapler, then follow up with a gentle fudging motion to secure the tape in place.

Technique #3: The Slam and Squeeze

Hold the stapler at a 45 degree angle and slam it down onto the tape, then squeeze the stapler to get it to stick in place.
