Amusing...

[scottyman]

We've had a new leased photocopier in the office for the last week or so, and people have been running around complaining that somebody keeps turning it off...

I've just bothered to take a look, and noticed the energy saver button - which illuminates green when powersaving is on.

Hit the button and it hums back to life.

Anyone care to place any bets as to how long it will take people to notice this?

(note - I work in a tv company - and it's taken most staff a year to realise that "Beam me up Scotty" is not funny, not clever - and leads to mysterious disappearance of their user accounts!)

3 years for 50p, there's usually one bright button there or a 16 year old will be employed next summer or something.

the bulb illuminating the button will fail before some numpty discovers it!

Would be funny if they called out an engineer to fix the mysterious problem, there would be a few red faces when the engineer explains it to them
