printing in color
Golden post ripped from AmusedLibrarian community (aka not something that actually happened to me, but definitely could have) that makes me laugh:
"I work in a public library, and I had a patron complain that he had put in a request for a color printout but only gotten black and white. After looking at the printout he gave me I figured out the problem.
Me: Was this typed in color?
Him: No, but I told it to print in color.
Me: It can't print in color if the type is in black and white.
Him: But I paid for color printing.
Me: Well this little ad in the corner printed in color, but since the type was black and white it printed in black and white.
Him: *stares at me for a bit*
Me: The computer can't randomly choose colors. It will only print in color if you type in color.
Him: Oh... Well, thanks...
Sigh. At least he finally got it. "
