Prof: This meeting this afternoon, I need these papers for it - can you photocopy them for me?
Me: Sure. How many?
Prof: Oh, say, 10 copies?
Me: Fine, I'll do it now.
I set the copying going and start another job.
10 mins pass.
Prof: That copying...
Me: Yes, I've done it.
Prof: Oh. I think I included an incorrect page.
Me: Oh. Well, there it is.
Moral: before asking someone else to do your copying, check you're giving them the right papers. I hardly have enough time to do my work properly, let alone to do your work twice.

This is a bit like:
ReplyDeleteemail received - "Can you place this order for me?"
Thought: You've just spent 20 minutes on the website looking up the prices, product code, carriage fee etc, then spent time typing it out in an email to send to me. Couldn't you have logged on and then hit the 'Order/Buy now' button taking a total of 10 minutes ?????????
Ahaha, yes.
