They're just insane.....In-Freaking-sane!

I print a couple pages from my PC. I walk the 50 feet or so to get to the printer only to find it out of paper. So, I'm filling the paper and the lady the ran it out shows up and says, "I was just coming in to do that." No big deal.

Then I get the paper filled and wait through her 50+ page document that was in the midst of printing. I finally get my pages and start back to my desk and realize that this lady has a laser printer (same model and everything) WITHIN ARMS REACH OF HER FREAKING DESK CHAIR IN HER CUBE, yet she chose to print to a printer that is ~10 feet away outside of her cube.

So I ask her why, thinking maybe she just didn't know how to add the printer or something since she just moved there and I'd do her a favor my connecting her. To my utter astonishment, the answer to the question, "Why don't you print to this printer right here?" was, "Well, I hate to print here because then we run it out of paper and have to refill it all the time."

I just walk away, shaking my head thinking WTF?

*sigh*

What kind of printer? If they're HP I can give you some fun PJL files to send to it.

Don't even try to understand, you'll be better off. If logic is a virtue, a female logic is a virtual disaster :D
