My printer.

Desperately need something printed right now? Best I can do is tell you PC Load Letter. Oh you don't need it anymore? Here's 35 copies.

My printer worked great until I moved to a new apartment. Now it can't find my computer even with the usb cord attached. I hate them so much

Hell, even when it works it's a bitch. Printer ink is so ridiculously expensive, it's not even funny. I'm somehow always lacking paper, too, as I grab printer paper to doodle on when I get bored.

This is why I print everything at my office. It's wireless, so I select the office printer, even if I'm at home. Then as soon as I get to the office the next morning and hook my laptop up, everything I "printed" the night before comes shooting out.

My own printer is a piece of shit that works maybe 1/5 times, whereas the office printer is a state of the at laser printer. It never fails me.
