There's road rage, air rage, checkout line rage, deli line rage, and now I've found a new one: self service copier rage.
I went into a FedEx/Kinkos shop today to make a copy of only three sheets. However, there were two people using the only two self service copiers. One of them was a guy that had turned the copier into a "home office" and he had a stack of documents 3 inches thick that he was filling out with pen and copying one sheet at a time.To add more misery, he started "whiting out" some lines and writing over them.............. and copying them one at a time.
Then the other copier was being used by a woman who was so confused she acted like she was trying to learn how to program the guidance system for the space shuttle. She had a rack of documents 1/2 inch thick and she finally figured out how to use the self feed tray........... or so she thought. However she put them in upside down and all the copies came out blank and she had to do them all over again.
To add more misery, both of them were using their credit card to pay for the copies by inserting it into a reader next to the machine. However, they apparently didn't know how to select the check out option and how to print out a receipt. The clerk came over to assist them and that took another 5 minutes.
I must have been in line for at least 20 minutes just to copy 3 sheets and about ready to erupt like a volcano. However, I some how manged to make it through another episode of public stupidity without blowing my top.
