Today, I wanted to print out a 100 page game strategy guide using company's printer. While not wanting anyone to find out about this I picked a time where I thought no one would be printing. My CEO ended up standing next to me for 10 minutes waiting for his stuff to print after mine. FML
I agree, your life sucks (4928) - you totally deserved it (43204)

He was probobly gonna do the same thing if he went at a time when supposedly nobody was gonna be there....did you manage to see what he was printing?

Were you fired?
Cause you deserve it. 100 pages DURING the work day?! And you thought you wouldn't get caught??
That's just stupid. I hope he at least made you pay for ink or something.
This is why when I print out things at work or something like that I print out 10 pages at a time and make sure to print out a business-like first page (e.g. cover page of an essay) so no one knows. Plus, why do you need to print out the whole thing? Doesn't that sort of defeat the purpose of the game? LOL FAIL YDI

really, 100 page strategy guide.... YDI for being obsessed with video games, I mean, play good ones for gods sake, like Battle field Bad Company....

#20 you stole my idea!! lol jp OP:doesn't make you nerd(i think) but you still deserve whatever you got.
#22 - On 06/04/2009 at 8:23pm by blabbermouth26
Haha that's too bad. Maybe read on teh computer or email and print somewhere else? Lol but I would prolly do that too.
How did this fml even get approved? If this is a fml to you opi that's sad. Ydi

I can see it now at your next job interview "we've decided not to hire you because your previous employer informed us you have problems with using company resources for personal use" Turn off the xbox and do your job idiot.
EPIC FAIL!!! Ummm.. U already have a job... U print an 100 page game guide... What kind of Geek who is old enough to have a job are u?
I would submit an FML saying " I'm old enough to have a job, and I printing out a 100 page game guide. FML ". Your life = Fail!

* caution heavy sarcasm* Omg this guy likes to have fun and play games!!!1!11! Let's all ridicule him for being normal!!!11!1!1
All this to save a couple bucks and a trip to the store? Strategy guides are for losers. Was it even for a for a good game?
#41 - On 06/04/2009 at 8:41pm by nizmotuner
I would have just pretended that the 100 page thing wasnt mine and act like i was waiting for something to print after it too. and then just go back when the coast is clear

I'm thinkin CEO should have a nice big comfty office with his/her own all-in-one printer... Lol
But on the other hand, so what... Let him wait his turn
lol this is absolutely hilarious - but I do have a hard time believing it
1 - Why would the CEO use the employee printer to print their stuff? All the places I've worked, the boss usually has his/her own printer. If there's a CEO, I'm assuming it's a fairly large company and that the CEO's can afford keeping a printer for themselves!
2 - Ten minutes for a hundred pages? Most company printers should NOT take that long. Maybe it just felt like ten minutes.
#55 - On 06/04/2009 at 9:15pm by skrabbler2
#55, I work in a multinational, and even our site's "big boss" has a desk in openspace like everyone else, and no personal printers...
About the time, think about the situation - wouldn't it feel like 10 minutes for you too? ;)
Jesus CHRIST!!
You must be pretty fucking LONELY to print a 100 page game guide! Where are u gonna put that? The Internet?!
#59 - On 06/04/2009 at 9:19pm by EmbarrassedKlutz
#59, leave superstition out of this and think - you really think he would print it to put on the internet? That is one of the most inane comments I've seen in this site.
Ohhhh it's for YOU! Only makes it even worse, I mean, da-YUM. Your life is both fucked, and you showed your boss how shittin cheap you are. YDI.
#63 - On 06/04/2009 at 9:21pm by EmbarrassedKlutz
How come you couldn't cancel the printer's work by clicking the STOP printing button? If you couldn't YDI for a 100 page guide wow lol.
Hey, it is cool you like games and all, but maybe consider printing out 1 section at a time this way no one notices a ream of paper missing.
Bummer. On one hand I feel bad, because that's something that would happen to me, but on the other hand.. gamer. >_>
#68 - On 06/04/2009 at 9:29pm by kasha
Although I can understand why you wanted to use the company printer, you should have been much more tactful. It would have been funny if your boss looked down at the game guide and said "I play that game too!"
Nerd. Lmao sorry buddy. Got to save that stuff for home. And btw what game was this? Hope it wasn't W.O.W. LOL.
#73 - On 06/04/2009 at 9:38pm by ruff_rider946
Y print it web u could just look at it online at home and still NOT print it?......
#75 - On 06/04/2009 at 9:47pm by tomarino13
I'm a Jew, so I have the right to call you a cheap Jew. You could have printed it out at your house
#84 - On 06/04/2009 at 10:05pm by killer0313
To everybody calling the OP a nerd:
You're on the Internet, the domain of nerds. Saying it like it's an insult is like spitting in the emperor's face. >>
Small company. Your CEO shares a printer with everyone else? I work at a non-profit, we have lots of printers.
#93 - On 06/04/2009 at 10:27pm by knightknight
100 pages?! You better be REALLY freaking good at that game. I know what you mean though. At school when I print something out, people apparently find it nessacary to try to read my essay as it's spit out if the printer. It's like "uhhh I don't know you?!"
#94 - On 06/04/2009 at 10:28pm by HeyThereGorgeous
Look on the bright side... when you get fired, you'll have plenty of time to stay at home playing your game and using your new strategy guide!
100 pages? Really? You couldn't just look it up at home?
#96 - On 06/04/2009 at 10:29pm by retardthinkswhat
YDI for not doing your job and printing game guides at work.
YDI for not enjoying the games and relying on 100 page guides solely to beat a video game that is designed for you to have fun playing it.
#97 - On 06/04/2009 at 10:39pm by SuperBigTurnip
Okay, people, come on! I mean really, couldn't you just save it to your hard drive instead? Horray for ever decreasing amounts of common sense.
#98 - On 06/04/2009 at 10:39pm by SVelasquez
wow....100 page game guide...kinda sad. But that's more fhl because he had to wait. But wow...100 pages...
100 page strategy guide for a GAME??? at WORK? YDI and i would fire your ass on the spot.
#102 - On 06/04/2009 at 10:49pm by yungmoolahbaby
Pot is better for u then ciggs and alchohol fuckin retarts that are like POTS BAD!!!! Only if u do it like three times a day for years.
YDI for being a douche and actually reading 100 pages about like World of Warcraft or something similar...
what a waste of time...
#104 - On 06/04/2009 at 10:54pm by citychic94
YDI for have to use a strategy guide. Just play the game, and only search for help if you've tried the same part 20 times and nothings happening.
Here's a suggestion dumb but, don't steal company ink
#107 - On 06/04/2009 at 11:05pm by happilymarriedaf
aw i love videogames, but why would you print out a 100 page strategy guide at work? thats a little extreme.
#110 - On 06/04/2009 at 11:11pm by BalenciagaBetch9
Hey I do the same thing but seriously...YDI for not making sure the coast was clear...100 pages though...u OD on it man!
#113 - On 06/04/2009 at 11:21pm by TriNiBaByDoLL
Are you joking? i hope you got in trouble for it... idiot
#114 - On 06/04/2009 at 11:22pm by spirited_away33
I'm surprised more people aren't commenting on the fact that this is stealing... Some places let employees pay 10 cents a page if they want to print personal stuff tho...
Yeah....that sucks......it must have been pretty akward....lol
#120 - On 06/05/2009 at 12:12am by koolaidman
you couldve stopped at "i wanted to print a 100 page game strategy guide" and you're how old? fyl
#126 - On 06/05/2009 at 1:09am by roflmaonade
Wouldne cool if be was like "yo shit son! I play that game too!!" lol
#127 - On 06/05/2009 at 1:12am by jorge10928
go to a friends house a print it and say your printer is messed up,but a least we will have the game thing
#128 - On 06/05/2009 at 1:13am by poorperson
Today, while working hard trying to keep my small company out of bankruptcy during a recession I found out my employees are wasting company time playing video games and stealing paper and ink. FML
How could you honestly think no one would come along during printing 100 pages?
#134 - On 06/05/2009 at 1:40am by tasteslikeloud
thats what u get for being a nerd, 100 pages.. Come on. Why couldnt u print 10 at a time or better off, not print it at work.
#139 - On 06/05/2009 at 1:59am by UrRightFML
LOL that must have been...awkard? I kno how u feel tho, i also play a video game and i dont tell anyone.
Haha. Good Job dude! I guess you should stick to making your own strategy guide for the games. This would save your job. LOL.
#142 - On 06/05/2009 at 2:26am by ThatGuyyyyy
Your damn fault for being a pussy and printing off a game guide. Grow some gamer balls and figure the game the hell out, no need to wimp out and print off a damn game guide.
#146 - On 06/05/2009 at 3:12am by BloodPreist
I would have hit cancel while my thing was printing, and let his go, then go back to the comp and reprint it
But yeah, FYL
#147 - On 06/05/2009 at 3:35am by MrPacMan36
#20 - he's just the exact opposite of a nerd
he's a video game playing loser (and im calling him a loser because video games take priority over his work)
way to have a shitty job and not even take it seriously.
anyways he should have come up with a plan if he was so worried
print out something before it (maybe like an Excel spreadsheet or some shit) to hide it.
or print it out in sections
or just take the goddamn paper out of the printer and say that the other printer needs refilling (and steal the paper)
god there are just endless possibilities which would have avoided this "FML"
you're a dumbass for not coming up with anything
Ok, pause. 1st, why would TAKE from the company that is paying your salary AND use company time to print out personal things, esp. something THAT large?! YDI, that's what you get!
YDI for misusing work resources.
(I say as I log onto FML from work...)
#158 - On 06/05/2009 at 10:27am by regalarius
first off, YDI, second, if you havent checked out www.thinkgeek.com yet, its worth your time, it has certin technology that can be of some use to the middle class working gamer, its really worth a look.
Hahaha! Wow your so stupid (no offense)! 100 game whatever+ 10 mins. x humiliation= your life was F***ed and YDI.
--fox
#161 - On 06/05/2009 at 11:17am by moonlit_manga
YDI for doing this at work.
But 100 page game strategy? Dude you need to get laid.
#162 - On 06/05/2009 at 12:25pm by DarkMirror
Next time act frustrated and blame it on your pc! Just say you were browsing through when it totally flipped and when you clicked to close the screen, the pointer clicked on print! Hey Maybe you'd get a new pc but more likely he'd avoid the topic coz he wouldn't wanna invest in a new pc! Lol
#163 - On 06/05/2009 at 12:31pm by tWitt3rBuG
10 pages a minute? Thats a pretty crappy for a business printer...
#166 - On 06/05/2009 at 1:35pm by shadow_duv
Next time use a double sided printer and/or print multiple pages per sheet.
#168 - On 06/05/2009 at 1:47pm by somebodyshy
um, you can just LOOK at the computer screen while playing the game, why print it?
#170 - On 06/05/2009 at 2:42pm by primogen18
if you're going to print personal stuff at work, never print more than 10 pages at a time, and if possible, print 1 page of a legit document first. duh.
hahahahah that's beautiful - the same thing happened to me in one of the computer labs at my college..the girl waiting looked so pissed i went and waited somewhere else until my guide was done printing XD
#176 - On 06/05/2009 at 4:47pm by breedizzles
print off your game guides at home.. why use the business printer? If I were the CEO I would have told u off for sure.
ydi unless it was an oblivion, fallout 3,or gta4 guide. those are the only GOOd games that need guides.
#182 - On 06/06/2009 at 2:05am by skatezero666
It's called reduce reuse recycle....... y the hell would you print it...... Save it on your computer...u don't have to worry about losing it YDI !!!
#184 - On 06/06/2009 at 9:34am by mollydolly230
10 minutes to print a 100 page document? Your company must not have a laser printer.
#185 - On 06/07/2009 at 10:30am by mwischmann
YDI.
I mean If you have a computer at home, just download the game guide and when you need to look at a specific part, look for it. Unless it's for company related purposes, don't print out 100 page documents..
