“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).
