The Third Nipple

Raise your hand if you work with a third nipple*!

Mother-of-god, this kid pisses me off.

He was entirely flummoxed at the prospect of changing the toner in the printer. He still appeared stymied after a 12-step explanation of how to open the printer and remove the toner. (Baby steps, baby steps...)

Anyway.....

The toner cartridge was empty--so I told him where he needed to take the used cartridge to have it exchanged. I told him that all he had to do was hand it to the people in the mailroom, provide his department number and they'll give him a new one. Simple? Apparently not.

"I'll just keep shaking it."

Um...

"That's great, but what about when someone else wants to print something? All you have to do is go exchange the cartridge..."

I was so exasperated.

He said, "Did something else happen today or are you actually pissed off about this?"

Listen, jackass, if changing the toner in a printer is beyond your realm of capability, I don't have very high hopes for your job here (or your life as a whole) being even a moderate success. Good luck, moron.
