I am SOOOO glad this thread came back up.
I work in the Bio Department at my alma mater...and I work with a lot of people who have Ph.D's. So you'd think they were smart, but NO.
My two pet peeves right now concern the copiers (we have 2). They are code-operated so everybody has a code to put in. At least 20 times a day, I gotta help people put in a 4 digit number and press "Enter" for them...if they put in the wrong code too many times the machine will lock up and I gotta reboot it...
And these people get mad at me when they have to wait for the copier to come back on! You tore it up, so you wait!!
It got so bad yesterday, the machine's memory got overloaded due to people putting in their jobs over and over and over...and the machine just locked up. Now there's a big "OUT OF ORDER" sign on it and of course, they all come to me saying "did you know the copier doesn't work?"
HELLO!!! I put the dayum sign on the thing! Or when the copier DOES work, they can't do simple things like making a one-sided document double-sided...*sigh*
Now that means people have to use the other copier in the back, which they hate because it's a big monster of a thing. And I already know that at least 50 times today, I gotta get up and put the codes in for 'em. Even as I am typing this, I hear one of the professors sighing extra loud.
Now he's calling me.
