Person: I want to forward an email
Me: Ok, hit forward, good, now type in the address you want
Person: What address?
ME: For the person its going to
Person: I don't know it...



Person: (hands me paper that came in mail that has obvious folds in it) How did we get this?
Me: What is it?
Person: This flier
Me: The mail
Person: (amazed) How do you know? Does it have something on it? (flips it over and looks at it closer)
Me: It has fold from where it was in an envelope



Person: How do I send (flier got in mail from cousin) this to people on email?
ME: Ask the person who sent it to you by mail to forward you the attachment
Person: (blank stare... )
ME: They had to type in on the computer so I'm sure its saved, just have them send it to you in an email
Person: Its off the computer?
ME: Uh, yeah, they had to type it
Person: But it came in the mail
Me: Yeah, but they didn't draw it by hand
Person: But I want it to be the big print like this
ME: It will be, it doesn't magically print out bigger then whats on the computer



Person: How do I send emails to the people on the list Fred sent me?
Me: Ill need to save them off of Fred's email and put them in the address book, then you just type the name of the person

Don't you wonder sometimes how some people manage to make through their lives? I mean, how do they get up in the morning, dress themselves and actually find their way in to work?

I just had a coworker who has worked here for four YEARS ask me if you put what you're sending in the fax machine face up or face down. No, it is not a new fax machine... same one that was here the last time she used it.

We need some sort of Darwin awards for the workplace. :mallet:

Got one better than that. Guy put about 6 STAPLED papers in the fax machine. His reason: He only needed to fax the first page.

Our fax machine and copy machine both have labels on them: "fax face down" "copy face up"

No kidding.
I wonder this about the vast majority of the people I work with...and they all have PhDs! Over the years I have learned that advanced degrees do not give one common sense.

A partner I used to sit near was notorious for jamming the printer. He was really impatient. He'd walk up to the machine and try to yank the paper out when it was halfway through printing. Which causes a paperjam and causes the printer to stop printing (and it doesn't get you your document any faster-- Mr. Partner). Anyway he would do this maybe 5-6 times per DAY.

The kicker was that he'd then walk away and pretend like it never happened. I would walk up to the printer, see the telltale half pulled out crumpled page, open the printer and unjam it. About 5-6 times per DAY. He thought he was being so subtle and that no one had any idea he was the one jamming the printer. HELLO! EVERY JAMMED, HALF EATEN PIECE OF PAPER I PULL OUT OF THE PRINTER IS A LETTER FROM YOU, WE ALL KNOW YOU'RE THE MORON WHO CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PRINTER! DUH!!
