Employee complains to tech support about broken printer, IT guy discovers employee completely soaked it: 'I found pools of water in ridiculous places'

Sometimes, people clean things in such shockingly silly ways that it becomes crystal clear that they never properly learned how to clean anything. This employee was initially frustrated about the fact that the office printer was broken, only to learn that it was their absolutely foolish way of cleaning said printer that created the problem in the first place.

It also goes to show that this is what happens when you live in such a warped worldview—clouded by entitlement—that you could never consider the possibility that you are the problem. We have all had to work with people like that, and the only way to deal with these types of coworkers is to carefully but sternly relay the facts: You did X, and then Y happened as a result. It's hard for even the most entitled coworkers to argue with causal facts like that. Keep scrolling below for this employee's rift with tech support over bow they cleaned the printer!
