We need a thread to share our hilarious/sad/amusing/drinking stories about our users. I'll start with one a friend just shared with me:
Phone conversation went like this a little while ago:
User: Hey, Billy...um...I sort of need your help
Billy: Oh, ok. What's up?
User: Well I have a problem with the printer. It got a paper jam.
Billy: Ok, do you want me to come over there and clear it for you?
User: Oh no...I tried that myself already. I had a butter knife and used it to pry out the paper
Billy: You stuck a butter knife into your laserjet 4? Did you turn it off beforehand?
User: Oh no, I didn't need to, i have done this before.
Billy: Wow. Ok. Glad you are still alive. So whats the problem?
User: Well you see, when I used the knife to get the paper out, I think I punctured something in the printer, because there is all this black powder all over the place. I pulled out the thing that was leaking and now there is a pile of the black powder on the floor.
Billy: Um, you really shouldn't touch that stuff its a harmful carcinogen...you really ought to put down the phone and call building services to come clean that up right away...
User: Well, that's not the problem though.
Billy: What? What do you mean the punctured toner cartridge and the pile of toner on your floor aren't your problem?
User: well you see, I knew we had a spare toner drum thingy and so I tried to put it in the printer myself.
Billy: Uh-huh....
User: But it seems I left the butter knife in the printer, and when I tried to push the toner cartridge thingy in the printer it wouldn't go, so I just started pushing harder, then there was a pop and some sparks flashed, and the lights went out. The phones don't even work right now. I'm calling you on my cell... I think that toner stuff is all over my hands but I cant really see to make sure it is so dark in here...What should I do?
