    Please don't fart on the copy guy!

    I know it has happened to you guys and you are left inhaling the gas from someone's dinner last night. Well, yesterday I am working on a Bizhub 600 in a computer lab, A bunch of young soldiers had just sat down at their desk. As I am packing up, one of them laughs and says"sorry" to his buddies. Then it hit me. It was one of those nasty rank ones that can be best described as beer and eggs. " That is so wrong" I said outloud, which made him laugh harder. At that moment the first sergent walked in and I motioned for him to come over. As he walked up to me and started to ask what I want, I could see the lingering smell hit him. He scrunched his face up and said "GODDAMM". "Thats why I called you over" I said as I pointed to the culprit. "That man shit on your copy guy. I think push ups are in order." So as I walked out of the room, he was on the floor doing 50, while his buddies laughed at him. I got him back for every copy person who has been crapped on and not been able to say or do anything about it!

    Yeah, but what copier tech hasn't crop dusted his way out of an office at some point?

      It's the ones you do yourself, whan you're stuck behind a machine in a small room that are the best, and then the customer walks in.

      Of course I've never done it myself, I've only heard of other techs doing it!!

        C'mon, really?
        Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

            Me either, I'm a gentleman.
            I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.

              As am I, I find if you force them, it makes too much noise...

              Wait, I get the feeling we're not on the same page here.

                  It's not the squeezing thats the problem, it's the bending down too quick.

                    Agreed, nothing worse than dropping that single screw you have remaining sitting on the edge of the DF, only to bend over a little too fast and have the most awkwardly amplified squeaker known to the history of copy rooms.

                        I'm sure it's gold dust though, or is it Cyan, Magenta, Yellow or Black

                          Actually, it's closer to purple. Didn't the Village People sing the song YMCK?

                            One would assume after all the toner we as techs have inhaled, it would start to resemble that off brown-purple of waste toner...

                              i've been thinking about starting a thread about this for a long time.
                              The worst is when one escapes by accident and it turns out to be smelly
                              then you see the cute chick who has been smiling with you, approaching the area.
                              I have frantically sprinkled windex or alcohol to try killing the smell.
