Weeping Silently for Humanity

I've complained before about people who don't fill the printer.  You know the ones, the pricks who print a ton of stuff, run it empty, then put in just 10 pieces of paper to finish their job.  The drawer holds an entire 500 page ream. 

I walk past my Quad's printer and noticed an open, nearly full ream of paper sitting next to it.  Red Flag.  So I check the drawer indicator, which is at nearly-empty.  I open the drawer, and there's about 10 pieces of paper in it.  Exactly what was removed from the open ream of paper sitting on the counter next to the printer. 

Honestly, I was torn between smashing the printer on the floor in rage, or weeping silently for the future of humanity.  Only because I have a lot of stuff to print this morning, I chose the latter.  So here I sit, weeping silently for the future of humanity.  Printing lots of stuff.

Pet Peeve of the Day - Refilling the Printer

If you are using the communal printer, and it runs out of paper on your print job, I appreciate the fact that you refill it. What I do NOT appreciate is that you tear open the ream of 500 sheets of paper and only put 10 sheets into the tray just to finish YOUR print job, leaving the rest of us hanging. The tray holds an entire ream of paper. Not only that, but you leave the open package next to the printer, as if taunting the rest of us. Do you not think someone else will be using the printer soon? How f*&#ing rude can you get? I can only hope it's rude, because the other option is stupid.

OK, that's out of my system now. Been holding onto that for a while.
