How many can you come up with?

You want to talk toner cloud. The machine was a Minolta Di620. The waste toner bottle was about 4 pounds full and we had to dump them. I was in a copy room on the third floor of a building. I emptied the waste toner bottle into a trash bag. I stood up and lifted the bag. It seemed like slow motion as the seam on the bottom of the bag began to split open and the toner poured like a waterfall down the front of my pants, hit the floor and began to crawl across the floor, came to the walls and began to slowly walk up the walls to the ceiling with little puffy black clouds. I was there for 2 hours with a trashcan full of water and a box of paper towels cleaning the mess up. Every since then, I double bag it.

Double bag it. I usually put the empty trash bags in one of the customers garbage cans for support. Also, on the Ricoh 3260 and MPC series, take in 2 sets of double bags. That thing holds a lot of waste toner!

I perfected a method to dump it in the toilet: dump it slowly, then throw some detergent on it (something that makes a lot of foam), then use several squares of toilet paper over the toner pile. Cover the toilet with newspaper sheet, close the lid and then flush several times. The toilet paper along with the foam help grab the toner and send it down, and the newspaper sheet stops the cloud from coming out.

whats the procedure for a piss trough

You know you're in trouble when you've got a troubled machine at the shop. You've swapped everything on it and the trouble won't go away. It's your last day before your holidays and the boss tells you that you need to solve it before going on vacation.

Well, I'm with 5 minutes left before leaving and the machine stays the same - better call the wife to send me dinner and a sleeping bag.

Went to install a machine on day, no tools no vaccuum cleaner. The customer then asked me to empty the waste toner on another machine. The bag split, and left a fair old mess. The customer gave me a vaccuum cleaner to use. I was vaccing away unaware that there was a cloud of toner billowing out the back of the vac. What started off as manageable mess ended up as a major cleanup. I share your pain.

You know it's a bad day, when one of your clients comes to your office with a big box and asks how much to fix the machine inside. It appears they purchased a fax machine through ebay and the idiot who sent it to them left the toner in it. The normally white fax was a dark grey. I told the client it was not economical to repair as it would be cheaper to buy a new one with a warranty. They wanted to fix it anyway since they could not return the fax (bought as-is). Stripped it to the frame and after 3 hours of cleaning it miraculously worked!!! They just smiled and payed the bill (twice the price of a new one!).

You know it's a bad day when it's monday.

You know you're in trouble when the boss calls you into his office instead of into the pantry.

Wow... your boss calls into the pantry? Hope it's a female boss (or that you're a female tech with a male boss).
