    Worked in a public library “computer lab” for a long time. The worst part was how many people wanted to print ridiculously long transcripts of every single SMS or Facebook Messenger chat like these going back months. Usually for some court ordeal.

    Usually those services don’t kindly facilitate exporting, much less printing.

    “This is how you screenshot, make sure you name it properly, good luck.” These people also commonly were completely illiterate and inept regarding anything that used electrons to function, so those instructions left them baffled and upset.

    Wanna really feel the cringe? Sometimes they’d waste the paper and toner printing all these out, and their lawyers demanded they then fax it all to them.

    That job was hell.
