I wish I had thought of this a couple weeks ago, this would definitely have been a full piece if I had given it enough time. Maybe I’m just ranting off stress from finals.

I hate incompetent people. People that can’t or don’t read signs, people that can’t figure out how to save a damn document on Microsoft Word, people that wiggle a mouse in hopes that it will make a computer work faster, or anybody that can’t figure out simple common tasks. I wonder how these people survive sometimes.
Take, for example, today. At work, our lab happened to run out of printer at the most opportune time: Monday of Finals week. People are printing out their final papers, notes, and they start coming up blank and faded. When I got to work, there had already been three (THREE!!!) signs placed on or near the printer area saying DO NOT PRINT HERE, SEND PRINT JOBS TO REFERENCE. And yet, people still printed, and started complaining about their faded print jobs. Sorry bud, can’t help you, you’re too DAMN STUPID or OBLIVIOUS to read a sign. Out of the last sliver of benevolence left in me, I put one more ON the print monitor that allows people to select their print jobs. Soon thereafter, I saw someone go up, LIFT UP the sign, and PRINT again. I am surprised that these people haven’t died in a revolving door or in an accident with a kitchen sink.

Tell me, if the toilet had a sign that said “Do not flush” would anyone flush it? What about “Do not park”? Would you park there? How about “Danger, cliff”? That looks good, I think I’ll walk off. I rest my case.
