Those people are pure evil. No doubt about it Capn.

That's why printers have a "cancel job" button. If they're not there to change their paper, they're not there to see you push the button.

What annoys me are people who go to the printer, pick up their job, in fact pick up everything that's just come off the printer and walk away with it, sort it out at their desk and then return what isn't theirs to the tray next to the printer.

In the meantime, you go to the printer, wait for your stuff to print, without realising it's already on somebody else's desk, think you must've forgotten to hit the 'print' button, walk back to your desk, click the 'print' key, walk back to the printer and in the meantime the fucktard who took your printing away has dumped everything that's not his in the tray next to the printer, all mixed up.

Now that's evil.

It gets better. After I added paper for them waited by the printer for a while, saw that their job still had quite a bit to go, and went back to my desk to wait, their job caused a paper jam. So they walked off with the part of the job that had finished, leaving me to clear the paper jam and wait for the rest of their job again.
(yup, I canceled it)

Don't forget the people who put hot pink paper in the printer so they can do their birthday party invitations and then forget, so that your next big printing job is all pink and has to be done over. /me is one of those people.

This sounds like the solution to Capn's situation:
1) Cancel job that ran the printer out of paper.
2) Print your job
3) Load Hot Pink paper
4) Go to meeting - the alternative to work.

God, yes. And warbaby's solution is so very ingenious I'm going to use it the next time that happens to me.

Also, people who take your stuff out of the dryer before it's done. I think that in hell they share bathroom and laundry facilities with people who can't hit the damned terlet.

Even worse are those who set their printer to print to the manual feed tray where we print documents on letterhead or other non-standard paper just when you have put said non-standard paper (ironically enough, usually pink in my case) in the tray.
