Why I started carrying a binder clip in my wallet after visiting that laundromat in Decatur
Went to this old laundromat in Decatur last week to wash a big blanket. The trash can by the dryers was overflowing and there was a broken zipper on one of the machine bags. Noticed a guy using a binder clip to hold his shirt card to the side of the machine. Thought it was weird until later that day I needed to clip a receipt to my bag and had nothing. Binder clips are like a dollar for 20. Now I keep one in my wallet and it's helped me hang a damp shirt on a hanger at a friend's house, clip a coupon to my purse, even hold a phone cable in place at a coffee shop. Anyone else found a weird use for these things?

Man I heard this thing about binder clips from a guy on a podcast who said they're great for sealing chips bags... never thought about carrying one though. That's smart with the phone cable trick, I've been using a paperclip but it bends too easy. Might have to grab a pack next time I'm at the store.

Paperclip bending is the WORST, @anderson.gavin, you're telling me you put up with that?!
