Title: Have you ever....
Post by: _33 on April 28, 2011, 08:25:30 AM
changed the number of pages to print on a document to just one page but when you went to the printer to pick it up there were like 200 pages printed because while you did remember to put the page in that you wanted to print you forgot to check the little bubble next to it and instead left the "All" bubble checked?    :surprised:

Whenever I type the number in the box, the bubble just automatically switches over. :dunno:

Someone at my office once printed about 150 pages on how to beat Castlevania on Xbox, those pages were never claimed.

Long time ago, was linked to an article on ESPN on something I was interested in(don't remember what).  Decided to print it off so I could read it later.  Printed it.  Took like 30 pages.  Was my first intro to the Forde  Yard Dash.  Didn't realize the full scope of the Dash.

Went to get it and boss was leaning over the printer, running late for a meeting and waiting for some report he needed for the meeting.  Was fuming and asked very loudly, "Who the eff decided to print out the Forde Yard Dash?"  Bunch of laughs, but no one claimed it.

a lot of times dumbasses bring crap to me and say, "did you print this?" and I say, "no, bring it back to the printer" and they say, "it is for one of your accounts..." and I say, "we have, like, 250 people working in support staff and they print crap all the time for every rough ridin' account. bring it back.  they are probably looking for it right now" and they say "I don't know who printed it, it's your account" and I say " :dubious: "  you know?  you midwestern office people know?  wow.

Good advice. Never, ever fix a paper jam with people watching. You will become the office paper jam fixer and you will have toner on your hands for the rest of your life.

ADVICE: If you're making copies and it runs out of paper with 5 or less copies left just leave it. It's not worth it.

Post by: j rake on April 28, 2011, 10:33:02 AM
A few years ago, I was bored at Hale Library and decided to alter a Ron Prince photo in MS Paint. I included myself in the photo, laughed at my own creation and then decided to print it out.

Before making my way to the print station, I browsed online for a few minutes. In retrospect, that was a bad move. I foolishly named the print job "Ron Prince is Satan" and it was no longer in the queue by the time I arrived. I'm guessing someone figured it'd be worth the 10 cents to see what it was.

I felt pretty dumb about that. :frown:

how about if you print some stuff, but it goes to a different printer than the one you intended?  you're standing at the printer tapping your toes, wondering what the hell is going on, then some jackwagon from down the hall brings you your papers and you look foolish.

I have a printer/copier/scanner outside my cube that people constantly print crap too.  It can collate/staple/bind/do whatever.  Scans to email too.

Sometimes people will bring me a printed copy of something, I get up, scan it to my email, and throw it away in front of them without reading.  It makes me look like an bad person and makes them look like an idiot.

some people at my office hate strong coffee and some like strong coffee and, oh man, does it boil over at the coffee machine.  obv. we get those pre-packaged filters with the coffee built in.  do you use two or one?  what if you like it made with only one filter and someone uses two!?  what about the other way!?  oh my.  lots of printed out signs about the proper amount to use posted above the machine.  sometimes a sign will get graffiti'd (tagged, as the lingo goes) mocking the person who made the sign.  someone's getting stabbed before this thing comes to an end.

Our coffee situation is completely awful.  The guy in charge of the "coffee club" makes the coffee because he gets here first. We have a Hamilton Beach percolator, like, restaurant size or whatever.

He re-uses the same filter and coffee grounds for 5 days. Changes it on monday morning. Sometimes he will add fresh coffee on top of the used grounds.

I'll ask them to please shred the hard copy because it contains confidential information.  "Oh, really?" "Yep. HIPAA and all that".
