Because people are inconsiderate? Or is it because they don't pay attention? I definitely know what you mean...it seems like I'm always the one to refill the paper or clear the jam.

I used to say it was because the machine liked me. It knew I would "feed" it and make it feel better (clear jams). I would invariably walk up to a machine needing 2 copies and there would be 1 piece of paper in the machine!!!! AAAGGGGHHHHH.....

It works under the same principle as changing the roll of toilet paper. Man uses last of toilet paper roll, gets out new roll, sets it on the sink instead of installing it on the holder. Man walks away.
Man is doing copy job and machine jams, or runs out of paper. Man walks away. It's another one of those man things.

It BETTER be FRIDAY! ! ! ! !
The copier question is the question of the century....there are those people who know how to operate the machinery and there are those people who know how to **@*@#(*%) with the machinery.....and they will always get to the machine before you ! ! ! ! laws of nature! ! !
we have a couple of those people around here
and we have a couple of people who can make it work after a complete meltdown

I figure it's because we admins are the only people with enough patience to learn how to clear the jams and fill the paper trays.
I have tried and tried and tried to teach these people how to be self-sufficient and do it themselves. But they still come and ask me to do it or the ones who are probably too embarrassed to admit that they don't know how to, just leave it jammed and walk away.
Uggh!
I guess I should consider this job security because if I ever take vacation days this summer, they will be lost without me - ha, ha, ha.

That happens to me too - but since there is more than one copier on every floor, I usually try to find the other one.
What I really hate is when they come to MY desk to ask me to fix it. Excuse me, but do I have a Xerox uniform on?

Hey, Wink -- DC (and/or coffee)thru the nose happens here, too. In fact, it happens so often that my mom bought me a mug a couple of years before she died that says "Whatever you do, don't make me laugh so hard the coffee comes out my nose") I still have the mug sitting on my credenza!!!
Sure am glad it's Friday!!!

Energizer, that's awesome! Do you mind if I have one made for myself that says that?
(and I'm glad it's Friday too!)

I like those folks who jam it, walk away, and when you go to them later and try to show them how to work it properly they tell you it wasn't them. Oh yeah? Then why was the paper jammed in the copier some of your schoolwork/personal papers/e-mails? They leave, taking their originals but forgetting that it is a COPIER and hence a copy of that is what is gonna be found when the jam is cleared. Jeesh folks, wouldn't it be less embarrassing just to learn to fix it yourself?

WS,
It's a good thing copiers don't use TP, otherwise the paper would end up sitting ON TOP of the copier.
Anyone remember when photocopiers used those big rolls of shiny paper (or am I dating myself?). Seems to me the women changed those, too.

Yeah Phoenix, the paper would probably be sitting on top of the copier and if they did manage to put the paper in, it would be the wrong way!
And Winkie,
You may not have had DC through the nose today, but remember, the day is not over. Of course, I did get you approximately 3 times last Friday, so maybe I'll be nice and cut you a break.
