    Friend of the family but still…

    Had to travel by boat to an island with no road connection to turn on a printer, after having been promised that it was, in fact, on.

    Once turned on it was working. Well as much as a printer can work.

      Only after a ceremonial blood sacrifice on the Tuesday after a blood moon. Got it.

          Step 6. Grab a bat and perform percussive maintenance

          Waste of two goats. Better to have them mow your lawn.

      A trick for that is to tell them to now try actually unplugging it from the wall and turning it back on again. This gets them to actually do it instead of lying and/or not understanding what it means to actually turn it off and on again

        The problem was more of a disagreement between the end user and the printer in what constitutes an on button.

          A sentence that shouldn’t be this normal.

        Unfortunately there were no other parties present to provide a second opinion, only their cat. Which, to be fair, is probably less tech illiterate than the human.
