Why Life is Not Like a Role-Playing Game

[nebroadwe]

jimhines meditates on how real life differs from RPGs:Game Master (GM): When you try to print out your document, you find that the color printer is jammed. What do you do?
Random Computer User from 4th Floor (RCU): I open up the printer to see if I can find the paper.
GM: (Makes a few dice rolls) You see a bit of white trapped among the ink cartridges

Yep this is my life. I work in a copy center, and in spite of the big orange sign asking customers to get a trained and qualified technician in the event of a paper jam, I've had over $3,000 in service calls because one asshole thinks he shouldn't have to wait for some "little girl" to take paper out of a machine.

First off, I'm 32 and know how Not to burn myself while also NOT taking a pair of motherfucking scissors to a $200 part, so stfu and get out of my store you douche-waffle.

We have a small plastic bag with a scrap of paper marked "$400" (well, its equivalent) because some genius decided to try to extract paper by himself and left that behind in a place where even we couldn't access it. We had to call in a third party to extract it, and it cost $400 due to the base charges, travel, and hourly rate.
