    As an aside; I'm eerily silent 95% of the time, making no audible footsteps or breathing sounds. It tends to frighten people a lot because I can approach without warning and the first sound I'll make is speech/clearing my throat. It's caused many jumps in many offices including my own, and the twisted side of me enjoys knowing I could be a very efficient serial killer if I ever snapped and lost all sense of morality.
    Hahahaha, I want to follow you around and watch! Akitu aka The Ghost..... I seem to recall some horror movie where the monster just kind of silently glided across the floor.....creepy.

        Once in a blue moon, on a slow summer day, I'll head over to the stationery supply side and volunteer to watch the store for the girls while they go run to the washroom/coffee break/whatever. Just before they come back I'll wander over to the lower visibility side of the shop and they'll walk around wondering where I am. At this point I'll glide out from between an aisle right in front of them. I award myself points based on the reaction.

        Audible gasp: 1 point
        Audible scream: 2 points
        Audible profanities: 1-3 points depending on the word of the day
        Visible movement: 1 point per axial direction (step back, 1; jump, 1; jump backwards, 1)
        Height: 1 point per approximate inch jumped off the ground
        No reaction: -2 points (has yet to happen)

        Highest score is 5 points for profanities combined with 2 points for a scream, 3 points for the jump backwards and 1 point for height, grand total of 11 points. "Holy shit Akitu you scared the hell out of me! Get out of here!" with another profanity as I was walking out, I counted it.
        "Shit" counted for 2.
        Cthulhu for president! Why settle for the lesser evil?

            By now they might be starting to get wise to you. Next time change it up a little. Let them go past you and then step out and say something.

                You're a sick man Akitu --- and, you might just end up with a knee to the groin.

                    I'm not quite as sneaky as I used to be. Silent, but slow. =^..^=
                    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                        When the joints start to creak, it's hard to be either silent or quick.

                            In my defense, I do space it out enough so as not to be mentally scarring for anyone involved. Plus it's more fun waiting until they let their guard down. The routine never stays the same, both for my amusement and the sake of originality.

                            I've had my fair share of kicks below the belt in my life time, you could say my spider senses have improved drastically as a result.
