People confuse me sometimes.

"Can I print something in here?" *gesturing at the two printers right at the front of the public part of the lab with instructional signs posted nearby*

No, no you can't. The one on the left improves the room's feng shui and the one on the right is just there to taunt you.

ETA: DO NOT TAUNT HAPPY FUN LASERJET 8150.

I thought the one on the left was to improve the room's feng shui, the one on the right to taunt, and the real public one sent back to the shop for repairs. :)

You say that like we don't currently have one in fact in the shop for repairs.

Tell them that well, of course they can, but that they need to examine their lives and ask themselves if they really should.

"I keep printing blank pages."

"Yes, yes you do."

"I don't want to print blank pages."

"Then you should stop."

"I don't know how to stop."

"Walking away from the computer would probably do it."

You have no idea what you have started.

Only one in the shop for repairs? Are you certain it isn't two, or none?

You're right, I don't, because you haven't given a link or expanded on this or anything. O.o

What is this, Schrödinger's print job?

I thought Schroedinger's Print Job was when you selected the "print" option....until you go to look, you don't know if it printed or not. ;)

Well, we get that too, actually, because of the way the server and queue is set up...
