Ever stood by the photocopier waiting for your 100 page document to finish copying. You start humming a little tune, the guy behind you joins in...what if you could both grab a mic and BELT out that tune- the words would come up on the xerox display window, the repetitive flash of the copier would
add a glitzy performance feel and before you know it you're a rock and rock legend and the photocopier is your new best friend

[stapler] has had a "genius" office idea again. What the hell, I'm sure everybody's going to love it so I may as well make it look like I'm with the in crowd... croissant. |
|
| |
I like it too, honest.
it would be really handy to have something useful to do whilst waiting for it to finish. perhaps the xerox should have a bottle opener too, for obvious reasons. |
|
| |
How about "Xerox Videogames"? I could get into playing "Tetris" or "Breakout" as I'm waiting for my documents to copy and collate |
|
| |
I put some magazines near the copier. I'm amazed that this isn't done worldwide. |
|
| |
what [muzer] said - genius !. Perhaps it would do them faster/slower depending on your prowess |
|
| |
Please, no. Have some mercy for the people who have to sit near the photocopier. |
|
| |
[neilp], [jamieb] and [stapler] do you guys live in the same house or something? Seems like you annotate in lockstep with each other on many different ideas. |
|
| |
games at the photocopier? nope, no thank you. I'm with [waugsqueke] here.
Get back to your desk Stapler, I've told you before! |
|
| |
[krelnik] I think they may all work in the same office, discussing halfbakery ideas whilst photocopying. probably. |
|
| |
"And another thing... your rents due !" |
|
| |
How about just having the copier wired into your PABX, so that it can ring you and tell you when it's finished. |
|
| |
Even better, maybe it could just email you the copies when it's done, and save you the return trip! |
|
| |
That way you can go back to your desk and do something useful instead of waiting... like posting on Half-Bakery. |
|
| |
ha ha ha, I love this idea. I love it when people are dragged to karaoke bars by their boyfriends/girlfriends and hate every minute they spend there. I would buy this photocopier just to see the magnificent display of disgust grimaces one same person can create. + |
|
| |
[the_jxc] soo baked. See link for [stapler]'s current xerox of choice |
|
| |
Genius. Karaoke always seems like such a brilliant idea at the time... although I'd have to have used the bottle opening attachment several times first! Top idea though. Gotta get the album - we can call it (wait for it) the Paper Jam Sessions! Ha ha! |
|
| |
I'm intrigued to see if [stapler] has the self-discipline to continue posting only office-based ideas, or if he will just have to give in and post that great ski-lift / gorilla-feeder plan he thought up in the bath'. [+] |
|
| |
[wags].. If there's a stationery fan in the world, it's [stapler], I feel sure she is unlikely to be persuaded into the fripperies of solving the world's smaller problems. |
