So I wrote this up last year (with input from a couple other people around the lab), but it's never actually been done. Now, I'm more or less against drinking on the job, but, you know, a lot of us are leaving soon...

Anyways, I present to you: The Annoying User Drinking Game! Post other ideas in the comments section if you'd like.

(P1 version)
* 1 drink for checking out a laptop just to use the ethernet cable
* 1 drink if they try to print without having run the authentication client
- add 1 drink if they don't speak english
* 1 drink if they talk on their cell phones while waiting in line
- add 1 drink if they don't pay attention when you tell them to stop
- add 5 drinks if they're talking to someone else on their phone who's in the same line
- add 1 drink if they're persian
* 2 drinks if a user checks out a laptop and then changes their mind immediately after
* 1 drink if a user reports something as broken which definitely works (ie the internet, usb ports, the mouse, etc)
- add 1 drink if "my internet doesn't work"

(Main Lab version)
* 1 drink if a user is talking a cell phone
- add 1 drink if they're trying to conceal it
- add 2 more drinks if they're being extreme about concealing it (ie under the desk, in a window, etc)
- add 1 drink if they're "just checking their voicemail"
- add 1 more drink if they proceed to give you shit about checking their voicemail
- add 1 drink if they're on their phone in Sal's office
* 1 drink if a user wants you to be tech support for a site on the internet
- add 1 drink if it's an email site
* 1 drink if a user asks you where to put a floppy disk
- add 3 drinks if their floppy disk is already stuck in the zip drive
* 1 drink if a user takes their printout and leave their coversheet
* 1 drink if a user thinks that the low paper status on one tray is affecting their print job
* 2 drinks if a user asks why they have to pay for printing now, claiming "they haven't had to pay for it before"
* 1 drink if a user "has" a print account (read "has" as "does not have")
* 1 drink if there is a Load MBF error
* 1 drink if a Linked PDF file doesn't print
* 1 drink for every time you have to speak to one of our favorite users, just to keep you sane (ie Stand and Shout, the lady who looks like a skeleton, the asian guy who takes off his socks, the lady who wants you to correct her grammar, etc)
