At a bustling office, Harold was famous for his unusual laundry day routine. One Monday morning, he showed up carrying a pile of socks and headed straight to the printer. Curious coworkers asked why he brought socks to the office machine. Harold explained, 'Well, my washing machine broke over the weekend, so I’m using the office printer as a drying rack.' His coworkers raised eyebrows, peeking at the socks draped over the printer’s paper tray. When someone protested about the printer’s purpose, Harold smiled and said he just hoped his socks wouldn’t get jammed like the paper sometimes did.
Turns out, Harold was both the only employee trying to 'spin cycle' and the one risking a serious office jam.
