Half my family just email whatever they want printing to my Dad and he prints it at his workplace.
We've owned multiple printers over the years but 8/10 no matter what device you used, The printer just didn't work. The "Dad strategy" has never failed.
First day at work for junior software engineer, he is super excited and stays late getting familiar with the project.
Finally he gets up to leave and in the hallway he runs into the CEO himself, looking lost, standing with a piece of paper in his hand in front of a shredder.
"Oh, thank God," says the CEO, "I thought everybody has left. Look, my secretary has gone and I only have two minutes until I have to be back in the conference call. Do you know how to work this thing?"
The junior looks at the shredder, notices it's not plugged in, connects it, the thing turns on and he shows the CEO how to put in the paper and press the button. They watch the paper as it starts going in with a sigh of relief.
"Thank you so much," says the CEO, "you're a life-saver. I only need one copy."
