AREA MAN RAPIDLY GROWING ANGRY WITH INANIMATE OBJECT
Wisconsin-
Citing a doctor's appointment across town in 10 minutes, Greg Gerard, 31, Oconomowoc, has been rapidly growing angry with his work station's printer.
"Why won't you work you [expletive deleted] piece of [expletive deleted] [expletive deleted]?! [expletive deleted]!" Gerard was quoted as saying to the Hewlett Packard Laserjet 4100 that he shares with three other members of the Ramp Storage team. "This happens every flippin' time. Like [expletive deleted] clockwork. No wonder no one can get any work done here. [expletive deleted] happens all the time."
Gerard added, "Great, I'm supposed to be there by now" before furiously turning the printer off and on several times in rapid succession.
None of Gerard's co-workers were willing to comment on the incident while "[Gerard] was in ear shot" but one passerby, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said "It's probably low on paper. He should check the tray. You know, instead of banging away at it like a monkey on crack."
This is the second inanimate object to go out of its way to "[expletive deleted] ruin [Gerard's] day" this week. On Monday the vending machine in the break room refused to vend a bag of Sour Cream and Onion Ruffles to Gerard despite his depositing of the required $0.70. Fifteen minutes of slamming on the Plexiglas front of the machine, coupled with open palm thrusts to the inanimate object's side failed to yield the chips.
Several inquiries have been left with the Laserjet for comment, but none have been answered as of yet.
