Yet again

First printer patron of the day...

The first printer patron just came by. He asked me to help him log on to the print station where he was trying to retrieve documents. I approach the station and leave the password field blank, since there isn't one, and the patron then informs me that he has already tried several different passwords to no avail. After three unsuccessful attempts, our system locks out the user.

Thanks, jerk! I'm glad you moved the keyboard that we hid behind the monitor. I'm glad you decided to try your own zany password combinations to logon with, rather than just ask me first. We don't need people as smart as you to lock up our system. Now it's out of order and everyone else's print job has to be transferred.

Not long afterwards, another patron approached me asking where the other copier was because the one he was next to was out of order. That was actually the print station that was out of order, thanks to the first guy. I asked if he meant the printer. He answers with a yes, so I showed him the other printer. He thanked me, but still seemed confused. I then asked if he was going to use it to make copies of the magazine he was holding and he again said yes. I referred him to the copiers, not the printers. I wasn't sure how to explain the difference, seeing as he got himself into the situation of not knowing in the first place.
