Is this irony?

The only sheet of paper left behind at the copier had the words "DO NOT DISCARD" on it.

Please tell me you threw it away. That would be ironic, doncha think?

Doubly so. Alas, by the time I went back by it, it was gone. Discarded? We'll never know.

Wow, it's the opposite of trying to get the garbagemen to take a beat up old garbage can...they take the note you put on it, but leave the can.

Heh, here, anything not nailed down can walk off, so I gather that, were the garbage can to have a sign on it, they'd just be able to figure out to take the trash, not the can (we've had garbage cans disappear).

Always. Always always ALWAYS. Ohhh, offices.

Really. Copier stories? The best. THat's where Office Space gets it just right (except it's a fax machine there, but the principle is the same: tempermental machine dealing with paper).

"PC Load Letter"??? WTF does that mean?????"

I had a conversation recently where we all confessed that there was one machine we wished we could take a bat to. There's one in every job.
