Apparently, the manufacturers felt it was necessary to put the "One credit card" maximum on there, which made me wonder. Quesion like these popped into my head....
"How many credit cards does the average user try to shove in there?"
"When people decide to get rid of their credit cards, just how do they typically getting rid of?"
and finally,
"Why would somebody buy a paper shredder to destroy a credit card when they can just use a pair of scissors?"
I suppose it's better -- when people do decide to junk their cards -- that they try it all in one shot, before they have a change in heart, but it still seems a bit silly.

Paper shredder
I was over at a friend's house the other day and saw this paper shredder in his kitchen.
Apparently, the manufacturers felt it was necessary to put the "One credit card" maximum on there, which made me wonder. Quesion like these popped into my head....

A credit card is a private property of an individual, that’s why it needs to be shred first before being disposed of. The idea of cutting it with a scissor doesn’t totally destroy it, since some significant details about the owner’s identity written on the card are still readable. This might open you to the possibility of identity theft.
Ah, that's true. Thanks for that perspective.
