Re: What is the dumbist customer comment/question you've heard?

I got a call that black wasn't black.when I got there the colour was more a grey blue colour.
after thinking about this I found that the black in the dev was that colour..
wondering how that happened I heard they ran out of black toner and took the waste out of the waste box and put it back into
the black toner cartridge and put back into mc. (colour machine)

also had ppl putting cyan into the black cart slot on colour machines..black is a nice cyan..and still ask me if it will click a colour click...

A while back got a call on a charge customers machine. It was a new customer too. I get there and open the cover. Every single toner is a black toner. Some smart ass had decided they needed the copier to run no matter what. So they cut the interlocks on the black toners to be able to pushe them in all the way and then they cheated the interlocks to override the wrong toner cartridge being inserted. Now the really funny part was the person who placed the calll wanted to know why it would not print out color copies. And even more fun was they were not under contract and had to pay us to tell them how much ot would cost to "repair the color function" Yes three drums three developer units and three developer powders. And the fun part was they also needed a new transfer belt. It was over the recommended service life by double copy count. Not a happy company owner. Even refused to pay the initial service call . Because we did not fix or service anything on the machine. And just to give all the other techs in the office a good laugh I took pictures of the machine and the four black toners installed in place of one each red,yellow and blue toners.

Are you sure someone dicked up a color machine? Sounds like a really bad assed suped up black and white machine. 4 black toners must mean it can print 4 times better. I used to have a car with 2 carburetors and duel exhaust.

In my first year back in the days of Analog copiers we had a client book a call with the displays language in Italian rather than English. Upon visiting it was revealed the user thought the language option meant it would convert a "photocopied" document to the chosen language! In this case English to Italian... #MAGIC!

Re. Muscle cars. I know exactly what you're talking about.
I had a fully deck out(pimped) HQ V8 Sandman panel van in my day, crush velvet interior,
double bed with wall mounted TV in the back of the van; was very cool for its day back then.

The only thing those high speed muscle cars couldn't drive past was fuel bowser....

No water bed...

Re Blue Nun and Cold Duck .
I had a couple of Hot and Cold Ducks in the van though. ...aaah memories....
One was Blue cause she had Nun. We were "finally" able to address undress that problem though.

I have some fond memories from that car....

One finally got me married...

I would luv to tell the story of my wife(now) an I back then, an how we got caught in the back of the van by the local authority. We were both about 18,19 years old. Funny as...
Moral of the story : we needed to find a better hiding place to park...

True story....

I won't tell the one about a super hot girlfriends father who found our van hiding place.... HOLY SH!T!!!.
I've never seen a bloke so seriously p!ssed.
I mean seriously , seriously p!ssed.

I never married that one, but she did ask me to stick around, an I would have, but I said your O/M's shot gun is really off-putting, sorry.

Anecdotes galore with regards to the old V8 HQ Sandman....

Looking back laughing: it was all harmless fun with car loads of youths just finding their life paths...

Re: What is the dumbist customer comment/question you've heard?

My HQ van only had a 202 but did have fake leopard skin in the back. Mrs Lagonda took one look at the state of the mattress in the back and refused to get in there Aah, the good old days....what did happen to my youth?

I think we might have got a bit off topic
