One of life's little mysteries.
I have an electric stapler on my desk and a paper shredder beside my desk, both plugged into the same outlet behind my desk.
Sometimes, but not every time, when the shredder runs, the stapler will snap by itself.
It must have something or other to do with a voltage variation caused by the shredder running.
To plug one or the other into a different outlet would require running a cord across the floor, which I'd probably trip over, although I might just to experiment.
