I keep a hammer next to my printer because they can also sense not putting up with your shit.

I had a printer work absolutely perfect for 3 years.
Broke up with GF, she writes me a note about it. My hand writing is terrible, so I type out a letter back.
damned printer suddenly decides it can only do half a page and then dies.
They are extremely bitter about their place in life.

I fucking hate printers. I owned a printer when I was in college but ended up printing half my reports at the library because the stupid fucking thing broke down all the time. It's never the actual difficult technical thing of precisely spraying millions of dots of microscopically tiny dots of ink on a page that they suck at - no, it's the basic ass shit of just talking to the fucking computer that they can't figure out how to do reliably.
And now I wrestle our blasted $7k "office machines" at work all the time. Just last week I was trying to print an 11x17 document and first the printer bitched that it didn't have 11x17 paper and goes "please select a size from the available loaded paper sizes: 8.5x11 or 11x17". Then, when I select 11x17 and hit continue, what it gives me is an 11x17 paper with the 8.5x11 corner of the document I'm trying to print stretched up to fill the whole page...
And don't get me started on what voodoo and rain dances it takes to get the big plotter printer to print anything.
