Someone came over complaining that they were only get blank paper out of the copy machine, so he went over to help. When the person had left our area, I turned around and said "I bet they had the paper upside down, huh?"

His reply was "Well, not everyone's as smart as you, are they? He's just a dumb mechanic!"

(It clearly says "FACE UP ORIGINALS" with a little icon right where you put the paper.)

So I say "No reason to get defensive. Jesus Christ!"

Yes, I love my job.:rolleyes:

Sheesh this guy sounds like one hell of a jerk, I'm guessing he must have some serious issues with u to come out with something like that. Sadly some people just can't help themselves to start an arguement over nothing, and this guy sounds like one of those idiots.

Gosh, Snooze. I am always reading the stories about the little bastard that sits next to you. You should find some small ways to drive him crazy. Start transferring a bunch of calls to him or something. I can find some other ideas. I will post them later.

Keep paging him over the phone system to pick up a call and when he picks up and there is no one there, say "oops, they must have hung up".

No. I think its hilarious that people cant read simple directions. Listen to my copier story:

The VICE PRESIDENT comes to my desk and tells me you cant read the display screen (its an LCD screen) on the copier and would I call the company and have them come out and fix it. I say yes, of course. When he leaves, I walk back there pull up the contrast/tint menu and lighten it a little bit until you can see it again.

What an idiot!

Hahaha that remnds me of a story with my English teacher a while ago. We all got into class to be greeted by the Tv and were told that we would spend the day watching Romeo and Juliet. Ugh I thought, but to my delight he couldn't get it working.

He tried the connections, nope they were fine. Then the right channel, nope that was ok too. After fiddling with it for 15 minutes, he went off to go ask another teacher as to the problem. By now we were all laughing our heads off as this was so funny. 45 minutes in still no luck, and he was getting really cheesed off. By then he hadn't given up hope, and went to eject the tape and put the tv back.

That's when it hit him, he hadn't even put the video in. Oh how we laughed, something so simply and he forget and wasted the whole lesson!! :wah:

:wah: That's a very good point, and one that is somewhat disturbing. How though these people still even get payed with this kind of lack of simple skills is beyond me!!!

When I worked in the ER, I was training another lady for my spot for when I went on maternity leave. One night we had to transfer a patient to Amarillo. I told her to go and call and have an ambulance dispatched to the hospital. Instead of calling the number for dispatch, she called 911. :rolleyes:
