More like the copy machine in this case. And no, this will not be a scene straight out of "Office Space" (but, if you don't know what I referenced, please look it up!), however it does involve temper tantrums. I went with my mom to her school in an attempt to subside my boredom and to help her with whatever she needed. Within 15 minutes of our arrival to the teacher workroom there were at least five different teachers who mentioned the broken copy machine on the third floor. "Such an inconvenience!" on cried. "What is this, the third time this week? And it's only Wednesday!" another said as she stomped her foot. It was in fact Wednesday which meant this same teacher needed to make copies of the study guide that would surely compel her students to study and then pass the exam next week with flying colors (too bold of a statement?). Anyway, her predicament: not make the study guide and endure the ridiculing of students claiming tho be unprepared or tackle the task of copying the test. She thought long and hard; it would have to be the latter, to her dismay. Off to the third floor copier of doom she went. How interesting that man, after having made many seemingly complex breakthroughs in technology (robotic "humans", smartphones, smart cars, etc.) still can't manage to make a copier that doesn't gobble your paper. Why can we send man to the moon, retire the space shuttle that carried him there and back safely over a dozen times, and yet not create a simple copier that won't confuse its user?
and why do leaf blowers still exist?
