I have just spent the last 4 hours reading the whole of this thread from start to finish!! (Slow day today)
Over the last 20 years, I have come across pretty much all of the posted stupid questions and comments (Oh, how I hate people walking past me when I'm elbow deep in toner, and saying "You should get an office here" or "Is it broken again"..... No you twat, someone in this very office HAS BROKEN THE COPIER AGAIN, THE DON'T BREAK THEMSELVES!!!)
Quiet possibly the most horrendous thing I have ever seen was on an old Canon 9800....... 5pm - Dec 20th 1997...... Get a call from a customer (HSBC in St. Albans UK, wasn't called HSBC at the time, but I digress) "Can an engineer come out, we have a problem with the copier"..... Why of course, nothing I would like more than to come out and look at your copier at home time...... I asked if it could wait until the morning, apparently not, its VERY urgent...... OK I said.
Get to the customer, and there is an ambulance outside, and a fire engine.....
Went to the reception, found out that a rather large bottomed lady had got drunk at the office christmas party, and decided to copy her ample ass on the copier..... the glass broke, her ass got wedged with large shards of glass sticking in from all directions. She couldnt be hoisted out as that was just causing her to get more glass in her ass, they couldnt take the glass out for obvious reasons.
I ended up having to strip the whole copier down around her, even parts of the frame, all covered in blood and a fat girl crying.
Copier was condemned, girl never came back to work apparently
So, let this be a lesson, dont get pissed and copy your ass, especially if youre over a certain weight
