two quick aakarsh stories from other people
an instructor was making copies in the copier room when aakarsh came in. he went to use the other copier, but it was out of toner. she was making copies for the entire week, but said she could let him interrupt if he didn't have too much to copy. he said he only had a 34-page packet to copy. so he goes over to try to replace the toner in the other copier.
he pulls out the empty cartridge and has the full one in his other hand, but he can't get the new cartridge into the machine. the instructor goes over to help him, and predictably both of his hands are absolutely covered in black ink. he just says, "i just can't quite seem to make this work" while still holding both cartridges. he then claims he doesn't remember which is the empty one and which is the new one. the instructor feels them both and one is quite clearly heavier, so she slides it into the appropriate place in the copier and closes the door. aakarsh just says "thanks" and gives her the trademark vacant grin.
so instead of going right to copy the packet, he sits there in the copier room and reads the entire fucking 34-page packet silently, while the instructor is still on the other side of the room making copies. he then finally makes 15 copies of the packet for his class. total time in the copy room: approximately 45 minutes.
