Hey genius! Yeah, YOU. You over there at the fax machine.

[Midlodemocrat]

Do you think there might be a small chance that the number you've been faxing to since 5AM this fucking morning might be the WRONG FUCKING NUMBER?????

Would it ever occur to your white out addled brain to waddle over to your desk and recheck the number to whom you should be faxing????? Since the fax hasn't gone through once in about a brazillion attempts?????


:banghead:

[LeftyFingerPop]

1. Sorry....

I'll go check the number now.

[TZ]

2. SCREECH .....WHIRRL..GRIND...

Not enjoying the pleasant sounds today?:rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

3. Oh, the phone has only rung about 200 times.

Asshats.

[billyskank]

4. Next time it's bound to work.

[KitchenWitch]

5. Gods, I hate that.

[Rosie1223]

6. What if it's Publisher's Clearinghouse with your winning numbers?

Boy will you be sorry.

[Symarip]

7. The Village had a fax machine?

How odd...

9. Just Let Brenda Answer It

Doooooooooooooshbag......:hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

12. I'm not answering it. I just pick it off the cradle and put it right back.

It's annoying as all Hell, though. When it rings, I'm looking to make sure it isn't a work call.

[DS1]

10. Don't you work from home?

[Midlodemocrat]

11. Yes. The fax is on my desk.

Some jackass at an insurance agency is typing in my 800# instead of the correct one. GAH!!!!!

[ThomCat]

13. That's a fast way to ruin someone's day.

I'm sorry someone's doing it to you. :(

If we could find that person could we install a phone right next to his/her bed for just one day and night and return the favor? Maybe that would inspire some diligence in the future. :P

14. I was hassled by a fax machine years ago

My phone would ring a few times every day a few times in a row trying to send a fax and I would hear the fax sound when I picked up.

So I took matters into my own hands. This was in the day of dial up and I had a phone line attached to my computer. I got a fax program and received the fax so I could see who was sending it.

Turns out it was the Department of Wildlife for Colorado. So I called and asked them to remove my number from their fax list.They said they would, but the next day the fax machine kept calling me.

So I called back, and asked them a second time to remove my number from their fax list. They said they would.
But the next day the fax machine kept calling me.

So I decided this was war. I took that fax program and started faxing THEM! I sent a bunch of faxes with huge text saying QUIT FAXING THIS NUMBER!! KNOCK IT OFF!!! Then I would send black pages to them sucking up all their toner.
I did this non stop for about an hour I guess.

The calls stopped. :-)

[Midlodemocrat]

15. Oh, Roon. I like how you think.

:rofl:

Nothing pisses me off more than discovering that I'm receiving a 50 page fax that chews up paper and toner and wasn't intended for me.

[mwooldri]

16. Don't even need to buy a fax machine.

Got call forwarding? Forward it to a efax or something like that account...

Problem then lies in that anyone who calls your VOICE line will now get your temporary FAX line too...

That's one thing I love about my Lingo phone service - call forwarding turned on and off on demand via a web interface. Maybe regular phone service can do that too by a touchtone interface?

Mark.

[Midlodemocrat]

17. Well, I actually need my fax for my job.

I just detest when people are too lazy to enter the number correctly and keep faxing ad infinetum.

Holy crap. Who does that? Once or twice and I'm on the phone checking the number for accuracy.

[Roon]

18. LOL

It took me getting pissed off to get so creative with the fax machine.
