“Why My Printer and I Are No Longer on Speaking Terms”

Person arguing with printer, losing.

Intro


It started with a simple task: print one tiny PDF.

It should’ve taken 2 minutes.

It took 2 hours, 4 internal meltdowns, and 1 brief moment where I considered living in the woods.


Welcome to my Wi-Fi warzone.



---


Step 1: The Button Smash


Pressed everything. Held buttons. Tapped the screen like I was summoning an ancient tech god.


Printer’s response:

“Blink. Beep. Flash. Offline.”


I think it’s haunted.



---


Step 2: The Wi-Fi Dance


Held my phone in the air like I was trying to catch a signal from space.


Best reception?

Next to the toilet, in the bathroom, 3 inches to the left.


My life is glamorous.



---


Step 3: The Google Spiral


Started with:


“Printer not working”



Progressed to:


“How to fix a printer”



Ended with:


“Can you legally throw a printer off a balcony”




---


Bonus Round: Customer Service


Phone call.

Hold music.

Robot voice.

The sacred advice:

“Have you tried turning it off and on again?”


THANK YOU, WISE ONE.

The Grand Finale


I gave up.


Emailed the file to myself


Opened it on my phone


Took a screenshot


Presented it like I was Indiana Jones revealing a lost artifact




---


The Takeaway


Technology is supposed to make life easier.

Sometimes, it just makes me question my existence.


I’ve accepted that I will never win this war.

But I will continue to fight.


Probably while crying in my Wi-Fi-safe zone (a.k.a. the bathroom).
