"Favorite" conversations with students

[the_geneticist]

I can't believe we don't have this thread yet!

Student peering through my office doorway:  Is there a printer?
Me: Hmm?
Student: Do you have a printer?
Me: For?
Student holds out flash drive: I need to print an essay.  It's for [basketweaving] class, due at blah, blah, blah [long explanation]
Me: There are printers for students in the library.
Student: Oh.

It's the seventh week of the term.  Pretty sure the student has needed to print things before.

That anecdote was enough to make this librarian do a facepalm.

Student opens my closed office door and asks, "Can you make the classroom across the hall cooler?"

"You mean, with just my presence? No."
