Today, I had to visit a client because his printer had broken down. After driving for an hour, then being screamed at about how horrible my company's service is, I walked over to his printer and found the problem: there was no paper loaded. FML

Today, I went to the print shop to get some work printed. The guy serving me printed my entire order wrong because he pushed the wrong button, so it had to be done again. He tried to charge me a fine for the mistake he made because "it's not a viable business otherwise". FML
Today, I had to drive over an hour away to buy toilet paper. FML
Today, my boss is writing me up for not signing a report before I left work. He refused to print the report that day, and I don't have access to the printers. FML
Today, I was home alone. It was very dark and so I went to turn on the lights, when I heard the sound of a gun loading. I dropped to the floor but never heard a gun fire. I got up and heard the sound again. When I got lights on, I discovered it was only my printer telling me it was out of paper. FML
Today, at work, we ran out of receipt paper. Someone paid for $3 in gas and asked for a receipt. I explained that the company we order our paper from sent us toilet paper, not receipt paper. He got mad and said that he was never coming back. Twenty minutes later, he was back to get $3 more in gas, wanting a receipt. FML
Today, I was sent to a customer's house to switch out a washing machine. My boss had assured me that everything I'd need was already in the truck. Halfway there, I ran out of gas and I realized I didn't have the gas card. My boss says it's my fault. FML
Today, I complained to my boss about how my printer wasn't printing colored ink even though I had just installed a new cartridge yesterday. Upon investigation, she noted that I forgot to take off the protection sticker from the cartridge. Good job. FML
Today, at work, my computer started acting up. I told my boss I could fix it, but he told me to call the IT department instead. Neither the IT technician or his supervisor could figure it out, so I showed them what was wrong and how to fix it. I was promptly fired for wasting 2 hours of company time. FML
Today, I did a 3 hour long assignment for school. I was bored so I gave it the title "F***ing Assignment for a F***ing Teacher." I went downstairs only to discover that the printer was out of ink. So I sent it to her email, then I realized that I didn't change the title. FML
Today, I went to deliver some reports to my boss in his office. He was facing away from me and ranting about his "useless employees", so I slipped in and waited for him to put the phone down. Turns out he was talking to himself. When he noticed me, he bitched me out and threatened to fire me. FML

You would think a simple phone call could have resolved this.

Have to spend quite a bit of money and time to fix something they could easily have taken care of themselves. Smh.

I know! This reminds me of the lady who locked herself in her car without her keys, and couldn't figure out how to get out because the power locks weren't working. She called the police freaking out and the lady was like "mam can't you just unlock the lock with your fingers?" Lady: "......" Super hilarious, the police recording is on YouTube.

why? I'm mean what was the client supposed to do, fill it himself? disclaimer: joke
RoseBlack123 37
Exactly, the client should pay OP for "fixing" the printer, and an extra stupidity fee

Companies should have policies where clients have to pay extra for being a dumb ass

^Yes! All of my yes! I deal with dumbasses on a regular basis, so something like that could hopefully thin the herd.

You should've asked on the phone. People are idiots nowadays and you have to make sure.

How can one be so incapable of solving such a simple problem on their own...

My husband is a tech and you'd be surprised at the amount of computers he fixes weekly just by plugging them into the outlets lol ^_^
