Ray: Copy? *waves piece of paper*
Me: The photocopier is that way *points up the hall*
Ray: How?
Me: It's probably off so you'll need to turn it on, wait a minute and then put your page through.
Ray: *blinks blankly*
Me: *goes up the hall and turns on the photocopier for him* Okay so now you need to put your page in either the scanner or in the top feeder *shows different locations* and choose between black and white *points to BW button* or color *points to color button*
Ray: Buttons?
Me: Yes. You press them... After putting your page in the scanner or in the top feeder.
Ray: *puts page in scanner face up*
Me: Other way. It needs to be able to scan it
Ray *corrects his mistake* Buttons? *presses power button*
Me: ... Er... No, you just turned it off... *turns the photocopier back on* Okay, you choose between this button or this button. *shows him the BW and color buttons again as the phone rings*
Ray: *walks by five minutes later his original page in hand*
~5 minutes later~Charles: Kitty can you make a copy of this for me on the fax machine?
Me: Isn't that what Ray wanted a copy of?
Charles: He said something about the photocopier being broken
Me: *facepalms*
Seriously, since when did you need a degree in rocket science to be able to work a sharding photocopier?!
