Ok.. as thought it wasn't bad enough that users do dumb things... like oh I don't know forget the difference between format and scandisk.. and want their data back... I have a new pet peeve. I sit within 5 feet of the network printer, right? Regularly people come stare at the printer...nothing coming out.. it hasn't started a warmup cycle or anything right.. they stare at it a while give me a dirty look, hrumph, push some buttons and walk away...a bit later they return asking where their print jobs are... none stuck in the queue.. in the mean time I have printed something or someone else has.. they are SURE that it must be a sevrer problem. Because obviously they know more than the fat troll who sits in the wiring closet. I ask "Are you sure you hit print?" they grumble and go back to their desks.. 45 seconds later the printer whines.. and out comes their print job. HOW HARD IS IT? you have to hit print before things come out of the printer. My other favorite are those who take the printer offline and don't put it back. Then they are mystified at why things don't print.
