Norm is upper left, but some profs who are left handed or senile like the upper right

staple both, and then rip out the unneeded staple when you see what everyone else did

I like to staple my papers on the right. Makes it easier to read since the fold in the pages from the stapled side is on the right (usually unused part)

I always staple my papers at the upper left corner.

Bring the stapler with you and ask which corner he prefers and then staple it there. But upper left it standard

I'd say, be on the same side and staple right in the center of the paper. Then staple it to your forehead. Come-on...you should know where staples go...

Upper right is easier to read. I had professors that requested it.

Upper right is correct.

If you are brain dead.

I had a professor who, upon receiving an essay stapled in the upper right hand corner, cut off the entire corner (all 8-10 pages of it), then staple it in the upper left, and returned it to the student. Some profs are weird like that.

alright well thanks guys and thanks desteffy for the awesome advice. I stapled both corners, go to class, and it turns out it was upper left.

I think we need to break free from oppressive perpendicularism.

Upper right also makes sense in languages that read right to left, I would think?

We were really solving the real problems back in the early 2000s.

Prime example of why AT Forums have survived so long. We always had such quality content and insightful responses. 🤣

Yes I know it's a necro. But it is relevant because I am dealing with a box of computer generated reports that someone decided they don't need to hand over the PDF ...

This honey do task sucks.
