Cable wasn't long enough.
bro really got the short end of the stick
Fucking brilliant that he went to scan his monitor to get it to print properly 😂
That's the moment this became hilarious lol
except the screen is off the cable is not 15' long.
Who had to tell him that HR wants to see him?
The printer
HR will remote print the "invitation". Let's see how well that works...
Off to anger management you go…
That was super satisfying. Thanks for living the dream.
But he beat up the wrong printer.
He had to copy the computer screen with the copier because he couldn't print to the printer.
Holy shit that went right over my head but that is fucking hilarious wow
My supper was ALSO satisfying 😁
😂. What it feels like to be 8 again.
I think I've first seen this video when I was 8...
I’m moving up. Corporate is sending me to management training! …Anger management training to be precise, but still shows they’ve got there eye on me!
An intern, almost certainly.
No no no. That’s the 20 year guy who’s been fighting this same GD printer for 15 years. Today was THE day. You can do anything you want on your last day.
And instead of fixing the problem they leave it to sort out the potential office shooters
If I were HR, I sure as hell wouldn't want anything to do with this pissed off, soon-to-be Michael Douglas. Let security or the cops handle him.
Oh hey Brian, Mandy from HR wants to see you...
I love these videos when shit goes crazy in cubicle settings. Everyone looks like meerkats popping up
That's a beautiful mental image.
I used to work in a call center that did customer service which basically meant getting chewed out all day by pissed off randoms. No one called who wasn’t angry and you were not allowed to defend yourself or say the word no at any point.
Every once in a while someone would snap, stand up and lay into someone. Just Like you said everyone else would mute their call and poke their heads up to bask in the glory.
I worked in a call center for a while. You definitely get plenty of irate people. I always found it funny. I loved when they asked to talk with my supervisor. Little did they know the supervisor just plugged their headset in with a Y jack and I could still hear all the shit they talked about me. It was great
I used to do training and floor support whenever I could to get off the phone. I used to love being the “manager”. Only time you were allowed to say no and pound sand.
Meerpeople.
I saw the meerkats first and thought “typical one person in the office is doing something so everyone watches” and then I rewatched with sound and actually saw what he was doing..
That's why it's called "prairie dogging"
No what was just happening to me is called prairie doggin. That’s why I had to pull over and find a restroom. Freaking Chipotle man.
it is the all the fiber in rice and beans, internal scrubbing.
I've only had one job based in cubicles.... Never fucking again!
You[d think someone would think to themselves, “Perhaps this is not a setting where humans tend to thrive.” No? Common sense will never prevail? Oh well.
cubicles
I used to call it a sea of heads
I understand this rage logic perfectly:
“AAAAUUGGHH MY SHIRT! WHAT THE FUCK! …YOU KNOW WHAT— FINE!!! FINE!! I’LL JUST TAKE THE WHOLE FUCKING MONITOR AND SLAP IT ON THE FUCKING XEROX MACHINE AND COPY THE FUCKING SCREEN! HERE!! YOU LIKE THAT? THAT. SOUND. LIKE. A. GOOD IDEA??!??”
This is what I was looking for. I could almost hear the shouting in his brain when I was watching.
"IT support hates when you try this one neat trick!"
I raged like this one time before but it was because of a weed eater that would not start even after I redid the carb then the cord snapped as I was frantically pulling and my hand smashed against the carport tube frame….. I raged and started smashing it agains the concrete sidewalk like a caveman. It broke in 3 different pieces.
My father did that to a circular saw once. He’d had the damn thing for decades, but ended up swinging it on the ground several times with its own cord one day. I inherited the rage, but will not be inheriting the circular saw.
Looks like a normal office space to me.
"Why does it say paper jam when there is no paper jam!"
Peter: "I stole something." Michael Bolton: "Yeah I guess we all did." P: " No I stole something else; call it a going away present."
90s rap music intensifies.
Man it feels good to be a gangsta
Man, the scene was so brutal. One of the most violent scenes in a movie ever
Poor defenseless printer. I'm somebody who has to fix these things and I happen to know that that message only comes because somebody misloaded the thing or neglected to call for service for one stinking roller. Easy fix.
PC Load Letter! What the hell is that!
Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays…..
I believe you'd get your ass kicked for saying something like that!
If I hear this one more fucking time in my life, I’m going to go full gangster on that person.
"Still" intensifies.
Paper jam is hard to find but it taste so good!
...or it's what termites poop.
🎶it feels so good to be a gangster🎶
We fixed "The Glitch"
PC load letter?! What the fuck does that mean?!
Milton asked for the stappler... 😁
This man hates printer too
Ah that old ad. What a nostalgia. Saw it first in my primary school days.
Employers could learn a lot by this video about how they are constantly frustrating their employees by cheaping out on IT and especially IT support!
Employers don't care
They do if it costs them money.
If this guy had the task completed in the first try, he would have saved about 3-4min. If this happened about 10 times a day to various people, you lose 1 hour of productivity.
Why save tons of money and prevent someone from going psycho at some point in time when you can save a few dollars now?
Employers care in so much as you are providing profit to the company. When you become less than valuable, then they don't care.
Ironically this would increase productivity and profit
Strange huh? That employers care about profit. 🙄🙄🙄

I think it's a perfectly reasonable response to working in one of those cubicle hell jobs
Can confirm. Have worked that job. Didn’t even have my own cubicle, we had to change stations every day
I opted for flipping the keyboard over and hitting it on the desk a couple times a week “to clean it out”
…it did at least help clean it out, though
Nah that is that reaction of a man who has had to deal with that printer’s shit one too many goddamned times. Perfectly reasonable imho.
TBF we don't know that this is an isolated incident. It could very well be the straw that broke the camel's back built on top of tons of other stresses in the dude's life, it doesn't necessarily mean that the dude is a psycho
He didn’t even contact IT Support. He just went mental immediately. Just be happy you’re not in a home setting with this ticking time-bomb. 😬
Employee: totally insane
Redditor: "employers fault lol"
It is though. If you’re having a hard day a printer messing you around can be the final straw on the cake. Employers should make sure their printers and other stuff work well to ensure that their slaves can work effectively. It would benefit everyone involved ultimately.
final straw on the cake? That's new
Yes it’s the superior combination of the phrases “the straw that broke the camel’s back” and “the cherry on the cake”
Oh, I thought it was the inferior one, since in my life it's always been "the cherry on top" but implying the top of an (ice cream) sundae, not a cake. In fact, it's my first time seeing anyone imply anything other than a sundae
Well it’s a hybrid which makes it twice as effective
make sure their printers work well
that's how I know you're taking the piss. literally impossible.
I work in IT and we hate printers as much as the people who use them. We're the ones who will have to clean up this shit because the idiot user didn't contact IT in the first place.
"Slaves"
Yes. We are slaves to corporate overlords who exploit our work. We need to abolish capitalism and embrace communism
Communism has never once improved quality of life for the majority
But it has the greatest potential to help, whereas capitalism has the greatest potential to make everything worse for the majority. There was one country where they managed to do it right but it got shut down my the stupid American government.
what country was that?
I’m sorry I can’t remember what country but it was in South America I believe. I should have had a further look into it while I remembered.
So you're telling me the only proof you have of communism working, is nowhere to be found, yet you continue to use it to justify your opinion?
My friend, if you love communism so much I invite you to my home country, Cuba, where the children eat dead cats out of trash bins while the government has professional cooks and private Jets.
You know that happens here too right? Have you seen our president's houses?
No because they did it wrong if that’s happening. Communism is the ultimate system and the only path to utopia.
Right - true communism as i imagine it would not allow for this to happen. If all production benefited all of humanity equally then there wouldn't be poor people eating dead cats in the street or rich fat cats with their personal chefs. It is entirely possible that everyone could have everything they need and no more.
Then why has it never worked in any country?
Printers go wrong often and without reason. For all we know this guy selected the wrong settings or whatever.
Nobody else in the office is having problem nor freaking out. And no amount of IT can possibly ensure every piece of equipment work 100% of the time. A friend of mine had a new company laptop just bricking out of the blue. It happens. You know what she did? Contacted IT and got a new one right away.
Not ripping it in half and Hulking out. And she's dealing with planning her wedding in 2 months too. Having a hard day is never a good enough excuse. And what kind of dumb ass takes out the toner mid print without turning off the printer? What's he gonna do, blow on it? Wrong cartridge.
You try spending 20 years in a cubicle.
Get a grip...
My Konica Minolta is a lease from a professional company at work.
It is a refurbished unit and I half jokingly told my CEO I'm going to throw it out of the window next time it decides to stop receiving data at 30% and prints the remaining 70% of the job the next day after it should have been cleared...
All because they won't pay for a new model that doesn't have an arms list of issues.
Pretty sure there was a Walmart managers special sticker on it when they chose it...
My company went from crappy refurbished Konicas to crappy refurbished Xeroxes, but when our last contract was coming due I just took over the search for a new company (no one else wanted to do it anyway) and managed to score us brand new Canons that have worked amazingly well (and from a company that has been a joy to work with) for less than we were spending on our old crappy machines. Maybe you could ask around and do some searching and find a company that seems to be well loved in your area and casually mention them to the person in your company that handles the contract negotiations for copiers. 😊
Edit: Clarity
Well, since you said it was said jokingly, he probably doesn't understand that it genuinely frustrates you.
Tell him it frustrates you, ask for him to get a new one, list all relevant issues and how they affect your productivity. Your boss is also a human and doesn't understand why lots of money needs to be spent on a new unit.
I really should have to teach you the most basic human communication skills
CEO is a woman, and also knows the printer sucks.
I didn't bother to transcribe the whole conversation that has been going on for 2 months.
This is likely the most ignorantly pretentious comment I have read in a long while.
Their sex is irrelevant, mentioning it when it's not needed, is pretentious.
Funny how you hate it when someone thinks from the perspective of a boss, suddenly your commie brain can't handle it
You can't even type a comment on reddit without devolving into sophomoric insults and pretentious rhetoric.
Oh, and assumptions that are incorrect are usually something adults own.
Adults don't deflect and try to redirect their failure onto someone else.
This comment was brought to you by a dude who has never worked a day in his life.
I'm a full time student that's had a customer service job for almost 4 years, I've certainly worked
"PC load letter? What the fuck does that mean?!?"
Load letter size paper into the paper cassette.
Woosh.
Wait until he finds out how CRTs work
In 90s infomercial voice "One. Big. Line!"
This went from r/fuckyouinparticular to r/idiotsfightingthings
thank you for the new subreddit!
You're welcome lol
Enjoy watching people fighting everyday stuff
We’ve all felt like this sometimes.
How has this existed this long and I've not seen it. This has Office Space written all over it.
As someone who has destroyed the laptop, push a more than decade old printer down the stairs and throw a chair to the servers, my coworkers thanks me for the sacrifice.

Carbon paper? Why? Is the mimeograph machine broken again?
I can still smell mimeograph ink.
“If you could please get it by the top of the hour, Mmkk?”
The server and the chair was basically unaffected, the only thing that got damaged was the door to access the rack.
The printer however, was a win, because we finally got a printer that literally work, no more dust spill, no more paper jammed, no more streaks and the most important part, no more blank papers. All it take is years of non functioning printer and then a boss that wanted a printed database that is almost a hundred pages to be presented in 15 minutes and the printer decided, let's have fun and give me pieces of blank even with multiple attempt.
I still don't remember exactly how I did it, the only thing I remember is when my coworker were all standing looking at me, with laptop and chair on the floor.
Obviously I lost the job, but I reported it to the labor department. The thing that kept me from losing the job was copies of email of my complaint to the hr and bosses about the printer but still I have to pay half the price of the replacement hard disk and the secondary battery slot for the laptop tho. And biweekly unpaid leave to attend anger management class as part of the agreement.
I still work there for almost a year before I moved to a new job. Then COVID happened. Lost that job after almost half a year.
Man, this video is OLD. I remember seeing this when I was in elementary school.
Man, that comment makes you look YOUNG. I remember seeing this when I was at work.
Not sure I’m a fan of this Office Space reboot
Phoebe: "This is Phoebe from Empire Office Supplies. I'd like to talk to you about your toner needs."
Looks like a perfectly normal reaction in this kind of environment.
It's pretty telling that nobody laughed, cracked a joke, or came up to help him and commiserate...
It looked like they just sat there and waited to see his reaction, implying he's prone to overreacting and/or is just generally unliked.
More like "fuck around and find out".
Gets attacked by a printer. Punishes a copier. Smh.
He punished the nice printer who had done nothing wrong ! :-(
That was the copier I think
The poor copier ! :-(
Collateral damage.
Fuck this guy in particular. Fuck this printer in particular. Fuck this monitor in particular.
This video is so old I had it on a CD compilation of funny videos
I really sympathise with him :-)
I don’t buy it.
Mhmm. Most offices have a camera positioned low on a wall, just above the printer.
From calm and casual to full send without any warning. This is the kind of psycho that will go from half laughing at the insult you just gave him to wearing your skin. 🤣
Lol
PC Load Letter?
Some Patrick star behavior
Thats...thats...that's my stapler
I don’t know why but I read that’s my step dad
“PC Load Letter”? What the fuck does that mean?!
CRT's? Someone has been digging
I swear I watched this on ebaums world like 20+ years ago
Unused toner causes cancer. I’d be enraged at being sprayed down by that shit to
I will once again say Office Space was a documentary.
The old printers were no joke, they held you hostage. They printed when they were good and ready, if they felt like it. I swear they can sense when you are stressed out and refuse to work.
I like that we all had to turn into printer experts pre COVID. The amount of times I had to remove printer ink from myself after troubleshooting the printer seems insane to me now.
Copy machine sitting there like, "What the hell did I do?"
Dude, that's not how you scan to PDF.
I’m so glad we’re now paperless.
I actually have to thank the Covid pandemic for this.
Look how old the computers are lol.
Pictures you can smell
Modern problems call for modern solutions.
That printer gonna learn today!
“I’m going to have to call you back, there’s an epic meltdown happening in my office.”
Time for some “Office Space” treatment, bring that bitch to a field and beat it to death with baseball bats.
I think it's the other way around, and he hates lots of things, including himself
I’ve never seen such a calmer man raging he didn’t really break or throw anything he just calmly put his monitor in the printer and started kicking it
He was photocopying his pink slip?
a valid response
That’s what I said out loud
If you get toner on your clothes just wash in cold water and don't dry until you verify that the toner came out.
It's that simple.
That's not how you make a screenshot
Printers fucking with him so he breaks the scanner smh
No, this man hates printers.
PC load letter. What the fuck does that mean?
Printers hate all of humanity. They refuse to quietly so our bidding and are just waiting for the chance to rebel.
In the meantime they just pour out little bits of ink when you're not looking and draw blank lines in all your documents just to mess with you.
But the day is coming...
Dun dun, dun, dun dun...
Dun dun, dun, dun dun...
Office Space the movie in real life.
I see nothing wrong with this response
PC LOAD LETTER? WTF does that even mean?
He was so mad he killed the printer's wife and child right in front of its eyes... "You're not laughing now ARE YOU printer!"
I want to know if this old video was real or staged
Working in an office in a meaningless job you hate with shitty co-workers is a special kind of hell.
I'm not saying he's right, I'm just saying I understand.
Someone has a case of the Monday’s.
Printers are dicks. They hate everyone. They’re the absolute worst of all IT peripherals. I feel this man’s pain.
I wonder if there was a reason to have a camera right by this printer…
What a nightmare environment. Imagine having to wear a tie for this shit
That’s what I thought lol, all dressed up for a fucking call center… likely underpaid too. This looks early 2000’s or late 90’s though.. but still. WACK.
One of the calmer office rage moments, stuff like this happens all the time yet somehow capitalism is still seen as the better option. I'll never understand it.
When you see these old over reposted posts guess how many month the User is. I guessed 2 months since this has been around since Christ was a corporal.
Some people will just not ever emotionally mature. This is just a 7-year old kid throwing a temper tantrum. That's what this is.
It’s wild that they were recording in that office
Typical, printer f up and scanner gets all the crap
