That.....is beyond gangster. I literally LOL'd.


Whenever someone says "duplex" I no longer think of a house, I think of double sided copies.

You know you are a tech because of the SCREWS... THE SCREWS ARE EVERYWHERE, SCREWS IN MY POCKET, SCREWS IN MY WASHING MACHINE, SCREWS IN MY DESK DRAWER, SCREWS IN MY TRUCK, SCREWS IN MY DREAMS, THEY ARE EVERYWHERE I TELL YOU, RUN AND HIDE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE, ...AAAAAHHHHHHHH


Damn I am glad it is Friday, been a long week.

My wife is always finding screws in the pockets of my trousers (pants) or on top of the refridgerator where I put my car keys! I swear to her that they must have fallen in!

Re: You know you are a tech because...

Who hasn't? Fortunately for me it was during the days of suit jackets & ties.

It ripped from waste band to zipper. I borrowed the stapler off the secretaries desk, went to the wash room, and did a quick staple job on the pants. Warning: Take off stapled pants very carefully ... =^..^=

Did that on an IR600 ,but I borrowed some packing tape for my custom tailor work !

Cosign on the spotting copiers in TV shows and movies.

I forget which show I was watching...it could have been Parks and Rec or The Office but I remember thinking to myself "It's past 2005.....what the heck are they doing with an ANALOG copier?!?!?"

Lol I love this thread ! I saw the same thing I believe it was one of the CSI shows, super high tech crime lab and there was an analog Canon in the background....for some reason my wife didnt find it as funny as I did

Hey Blackcat, as far as your 4th one goes.....I have learned to ask what it was printed on before dissing the quality of the print job, least I find it was done on one of my machines, I did not know they had.

Re: You know you are a tech because...

You know you are a tech when:

you carry a flashlight, #2 phillips, and a multi-tool at all times.
you walk around the office, select a Bic pen, and say "that will work ... "
you select your pants to be that unique shade of brown/purple of color waste toner.
you critique the image quality of every page before examining the content. My wife just rolls her eyes "... can't you just read it?!"

=^..^=

Re: You know you are a tech because...

before doing a tear down for something really simple, you think "there's gotta be a simpler way" than what the manual says...

... except in the end, there usually isn't. There ought to be an easier way. =^..^=

Re: You know you are a tech because...

You know you are a tech because you find internet sites that are full of other people from around the world who do what you do, understand what you go through, and therefore you enjoy chatting with them online.

You are the 'go to' person for your kids and their friends when their damm Xbox and Playstation controllers don't work.

Family members roll their eyes when you explain how prints should come out face down, not face up (or vice versa) in TV shows.

Re: You know you are a tech because...

You say "moron" under your breath when you hear a salesman or customer say reds and blues instead of magentas and cyans or out of ink instead of out of toner.

Re: You know you are a tech because...

You have thought about making glass table tops out of original glass

They're also really good for rolling blunts in the car....
