this tale of fax ineptitude www.b3ta.com/questions/helpdesk/post528521 reminded me of another classic...

In the mid 90's i worked for a crap agency that treated their junior staff like utter shit, so much so we actually started referring to constant parade of poor souls as 'draught excluders' - no task to menial or humiliating, no treatment too harsh.

one poor lad - 16, awkward, spotty - was despatched to send an urgent fax. After 20 minutes or so the fucking AWFUL tyrant of a boss bawled out Oi!!!! (name of poor junior) have you sent that FUCKING FAX YET? He didnt use phones, he just sat at his desk and shouted knowing it could be heard all around the office. He was so fat and obnoxious it was rumoured he was physically unable to put his hands in his trouser pockets.

We all looked worriedly at each other. I made my way out to reception to the fax machine to see what was going on. The poor kid was almost in tears. When i asked him what the problem was he wailed - 'i've tried to send it about 50 times but it just keeps coming out the other side'.
