I hate photocopying machines. I especially hate them when every third piece of paper going through the machinery winds up getting stuck and has to be removed, a process that involves opening various things and twisting things that does not really look like you´re supposed to twist them. I hate that a simply "copy and staple a pile of questionnares"-couple of hours turned into half a day, partly because of the abovementioned less than cooperative machine, partly due to spending nearly an hour searching for staples that would fit in the stapler we had, and, when that failed, simply search for a stapler that worked. And I especially hate it when you get so annoyed at the whole thing that you do not take any breaks and find yourself halfstarved when you are finally done late in the afternoon (thank God for shawarma). In short, I hate photocopying.
