those self-righteous "are you SURE you want to print this email" sigs at the bottom of people's emails

* please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to

what the fuck, who does this? never seen it

then again, I delete most emails before I'm done reading them

You don't work for The Man, J0hn.

s1ocki, this is kind of a strawman argument because I've never seen the "this email" one.

Think before you print!
On average each worker uses 50 sheets of paper per day.
Save on paper, save on costs, save the planet.

i've never seen this either, just 1-3 paragraph legal disclaimers about if you're not the intended recipient plz delete etc etc

i've seen it tons of times

AND IM SICK AND TIRED OF IT.

my 'this e-mail' one is legit

lol old people printing e-mails

PLEASE CONSIDER THE ENVIRONMENT - Do you really need to print this
e-mail?"

^^ actual

stodgy professors & professionals w/o Crackberries

i print out emails sometimes, but the research nature of my job requires it. i have to do a lot of reading sometimes, and sometimes it's easier to read a hard copy. and if i print something out i use it for jotting things down or scrap paper anyway.

you make me want to puke

P please consider the environment - do you really need to print this email?

considered caps lock, held back.

My goal in academia is to turn every printable pdf into an unprintable html mess so that people will be forced to refer to the live copy on the website and not read out of date info.

you make me want to puke

:O****

is this the barfing emoticon, y/n?

The stodgy professor I work for prints out nearly every single email he receives. Acutally, he sends most of them to me to PRINT OUT FOR HIM. Asshole. I thought about adding one of those to my signature just to piss him off but decided I'm already passive aggressive enough as is.

At an old job I knew of a professor who printed out every single email (including announcements/memos), wrote out her reply in longhand, and then had her assistant grad student write the reply.

This was the same professor who spent $4500 out of her research funds (taxpayer money!) on a computer for her 14 year old son. Her reasoning was "If I don't spend this money, I'll lose it."

Then there was the professor who printed out every single 300 page PDF file on the expen$ive color printer. I told him if he did it again, he's paying for the toner ($110 per CMYK) out of his own money.

ooooooh. so you're a tough guy kinda Elvis impersonator, eh?

"you'll be paying it yourself, thankyouverymuch."

So you've met my boss?

I spent over an hour this morning printing crap for him that he'll never even read. :-( He brings in tons of research money to this place so is kind of untouchable. I hate him. It's ok though because I told them yesterday that I'm leaving at the end of August. YAY!

Anyway - professors like to waste paper. Yes.

sorry i think i was intentionally trying to make a bad joke their for some meta funnies or something but i lost focus. xp

zing culture's confessional phase

i've never seen this either, just 1-3 paragraph legal disclaimers about if you're not the intended recipient plz delete etc etc

I love seeing those under email forwards full of jokes or pictures of puppies.

pls to be working at one law firm, slutsky

nothing but printing e-mails... alllllll dayyyyy longgggg

sometimes I print a whole bunch of e-mails with this disclaimer on when I don't really need to... just to be spiteful

the world's going to hell in a handbasket anyway, what's not printing an e-mail going to achieve?

^first sentence: psyche

^second sentence: the god's honest

i used to maintain the cosmopolitan magazine website and they wanted all feedback + cosmo confessions -- between 800-1000 emails a week -- printed out and couriered to them every monday morning..

Things I don't understand: copier has a code, but the networked printers don't

i printed multiple copies of emails when i was working for a thing i can't even be bothered to explain.

sometimes, if they had all the previous replies in the text, it would be like four pages long, and i'd have already printed the previous replies. obeying orders.
