You know your day just went in the toilet when...

Re: You know your day just went in the toilet when...

A while back I had a number of machines at the Department of Social Services. I was working on the third machine on that floor when I noticed from across the room, the pretty young lady in a white fluffy sweater, white pleated skirt, white tights, white four inch spike heels. She walks over to the overfull trash can and raises one of those four inch spikes to crush down the trash ...

I'm sure she never heard me yelling "No! Stop .... "

The gallon Ziplock bag full of waste toner burst straight upward under her heel. A small mushroom cloud of toner arose from the trash can fluffing the skirt, and coating the young lady from the waist down with waste toner.

At first she didn't understand what had happened, then she began to cry.
I didn't see any way to remedy the situation. After some thought I went back to my service call. I'm willing to bet that she never stepped into a trash can again.

....when your apprentice is standing on a Muslim prayer rug in the Imams (priest) office with waste toner pouring all over it asking "Where is your garbage can?".
I didn't think we would get out alive.
I single handedly prevented Jihad that day.

This wednesday on my way back to the office just before 4:30 the office calls me and asks me to stop and check a jam on a CS-520i, since I will drive right past the customer. I stop and one of the girls had decided that the drawer would be better than the bypass to run the labels. They labels were all jammed inside the finisher about 12 of them and had to disassemble the finisher to get them out. Great way to finish the day.

When the company you work for (Ricoh) buys a company who's management seems intent on flushing the business down the toilet (IKON) and your paychecks start showing up with the other company's name on them.

A couple years back I had to assist my collegue who had to repair an older Ricoh 550 that was .... in bad shape. Apparently burglars used the machine to land on when they got through the ceiling window. Not only that but they decided that it was a good idea to cover their tracks by empyting a fire extinguiser into it. Somehow management thought it was faster/cheaper to repair the machine on site. It took us 2 days of replacing nearly everything to get the machine back to life.


Another fun one was when a customer poored silicon oil seemingly at random in a machine because it kept asking to replace a fusing oil unit. Of course that didn't really work as he hoped.

I once had a customer with a BH C280 and they ran out of black toner so they forced a cyan toner in where you put the black (those playing at home all they colours are keyed differently so you can't fuck this up)
then they placed a service call saying everything is coming out blue LOLz
i charged them for a new Drum toner and black dev unit (the machine had done around 20, 000 and the black dev's on these machine should go to 600, 000 k)

When you'r sitting cross legged in front of the copier ( this was quite a few years ago when the knees still bent) and you manage to turn the cleaning station up side down and spill toner all over your lap. You then grab the vac and start vacuuming your crotch but get a funny feeling you're being watched. You then slowly turn around to see two office girls staring at you open mouthed and know that nothing you can say will explain your unusual behavior.

Should have looked at them and said "sorry, I just became single and I am not dealing with it very well"

You can guarantee whenever you've had something spicy for dinner the previous evening washed down with a couple of pints of beer, the next day you'll have a job on a machine in a tiny airless room....

....then you get the rumbling.... then a birth pang .... then the inevitable fruity PARPPP!! signifying the release of a particularly eye-wateringly piquant cloud of trouser gas that just hangs there stinking the place up. I mean you know it's bad if you can't stand the smell of your own right?

...then the rather attractive young lady who showed you to the machine walks in to ask if you want a cup of tea or coffee and immediately wrinkles her face in disgust and there's no disguising the fact that it was you.....

The only thing that's worse is when you've really punished your guts the previous day, get the sudden onset cramps and have to dash to a customer's facilities to go and basically drop armageddon out of your arse. As you're sat there in a cubicle/stall in an eye watering cloud of your own stench as the brown tsunami is violently tearing your arsehole to shreds, you hear someone else come in the Gents to use the urinals... you desperately try and hold back the semi-liquid tide of evil and it's accompanying symphony of sloppy sounding farts till he's done.

...you know when the smell is really bad when you hear that person exclaim "My God!" and immediately leave.

...then you have to do the walk of shame back to the copier walking like Richard Simmons the day after Mardi Gras because of the pain from your ruined arsehole.

Re: You know your day just went in the toilet when...

I missed Shadow1. The time he told us about the vacuum fart, I thought I was going to die laughing. I rated it as #1 funniest post I've ever read. Ollie1981 just got second place. It doesn't just happen to guys, but it's not supposed to happen to us girls, but I'm too much of a lady to tell all my secrets. (Everything's supposed to come out with a pretty pink bow for us, I guess.) Much more fun laughing at all you guys.

Re: You know your day just went in the toilet when...

I can say I've linked Shadow1's past post previously as well, like printerfxr I almost died of laughter. Ollie just got 2nd in my books as well, though I must be REALLY tired because I find myself unable to physically laugh, yet inside I'm in stitches... PMM (Post Monday Mondays) is a serious affliction.

You fart pretty pink bows? Try sucking one of those up in your vacuum.

Thanks prntrfxr - I'm going to remember this thread every Sunday when I tie my little girl's hair up for church....
