Paper Jam
FOUND by Sean S. in Rockville, Maryland
I found this 8 1/2 x 11 paper jammed in a copy machine at work. It makes me wonder why somebody would print this out when they could just as easily ask to have something repeated. There was another sheet with it reading "Please speak louder." What on earth was this person doing? Perhaps the person was hearing impaired, but she heard me just fine.

@ Effie: Louder, please.

I once attended a training that was being videotaped for future use. The videographer had this same (large) sign, which he held up to remind the speaker that the microphone couldn't pick up the audience members' questions & so the speaker should repeat them before answering.

My mind was going in the same direction as Farmer. And then took a left and ended up at teleconferencing with a newbie leading the show. Noob's mentor was making signs for coaching purposes.

Hold the boat. "Perhaps the person was hearing impaired, but she heard me just fine." Was Sean merely standing in line at the copier? Did he say "Hey, you forgot this!" (referring to the "Speak Louder" sign) to Stacey as she turned to leave? It it truly found if one knows the source?

(* Pssst: Dear Curious, you can search a Finder's name and find other Finds that have been previously posted as Find of the Day.you can even search locations of Finders, as I just learned.*)

(Now if they'd just add a search by DATE function I'd believe I'd died and gone to the great carnival in the sky.)

We have seen stuff from Sean S. Sometimes he comments, too.
I'm confused. Who heard you just fine? Are you anthromorphizing the copy machine? ( did i spell that right? it looks wrong)

I went to a show at a college and paid 50 cents to make 5 copies of my face. Then I put them back in the paper tray. Try it sometime.

Alan, no one can here you. I think they sold Joe Strummer's copy machine to Topper Headon and he's passed out right now.

I think Sean didn't comment on his last find, either, did he? Methinks he's using a different name, maybe?

Oh yes - one other thing...

Could you please repeat the question?

It wasn't a question. I said: "USE YOUR SIGNAL, BITCH!"

a very hearty LOL @ BABY BASIL!! (still laughing.)

I freakin' LOVE this website. I kind of wish there was a way for registered members to privately message other registered users, though. Wouldn't that be fun? (since people tend to abuse such functions, there could be a "3 strikes" rule: you get 3 complaints for harassing or otherwise NOT Okay messages, you're banned.)

Think about it, Found.

Good one, Baby Basil. You got me to smile, underneath it all.

"Please speak louder"? (=thud=)

Please speak up. Please speak loudly. Please speak in a louder voice. Not "please speak louder."

Her question was, "What did you say? I wasn't listening."

Thanks for translating. My mom always told me not to speak with my mouth full of food. Would you care for a bite of my brat?
