    Overheard at the customer's office

    I'm sure there have to be tons of funny/horrific conversations that you've overheard while fixing the copier. Especially when you're doing a repair that takes a while, people tend to forget you're there and speak freely . . . sometimes a little too freely.

    I'm fixing a copier at a funeral home (always the best place for this sort of thing) and I hear this from the guy on the phone in the next room:

    "So the fetus is still at the morgue?"

    I hate funeral homes. I fixed a copier at one a few months back, and the owner was in the next room yelling at a supplier:

    "Jesus Christ! Are you #@$%# @#$% in your head! I will never pay that for a !#$%# cross. GOD you're crazy!!!"

    and so on. He then walks to the next room, with customers waiting:

    "Hello. May God be with you in this difficult time..."

    Another time, at that same customer with the same guy, I overheard a client speaking to him in his office after finding out the owner is guy.

    "I don't want you to play with my d1ck when I die!!"

      I had a guy tell me he was a virgin until he was 30 and he lost it to a 16yo boy. What a peedo!

        I heard nurses discussing an operation to remove someone's piles. In gory detail. Kind of difficult to service a machine when the people next to you are discussing removing someone's bum grapes.
        It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

        Hit it.

            I was sitting on the floor behind the desk out of sight when the two office girls started a conversation,

              I work on machines at the county attorney's office. They are not always carefull in what they talk about. I've definately heard things I shouldn't have.
              I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.

                I was working in a Gynocologsts office and two of the women were talking about something they saw earlier in the day. Out of courtesy to my friends here at Copytechnet I will keep the details to myself, but I will tell you that it was NOT GOOD.

                  Color is not 4 times harder... it's 65,000 times harder. They call it "TECH MODE" for a reason. I have manual's and firmware for ya, course... you are going to have to earn it.
