Some flucken count thinks my phone line is a fax machine and has tried to send something through 32 times despite me phoning the prick to inform him we don't do faxes and to email it.

I don't understand this.
I can't remember the last time I saw a stand-alone fax machine. They're all attached to multi-function printers. Can't the useless cunt email scan it?

Its from a company that usually emails stuff, almost daily. What a cunt.
It also has meant I have answered my phone 32 times to hear a fax beep, but I can't not answer it because there are proper calls in between. It's fucking irritating.

Do it then, I know you like me being in a foul mood.

We've been trying to withdraw support of fax, but people keep whinging that they have to be able to send timesheets.
Turns out the question "can you not use the scanner that's on the same machine you're faxing from?" often offends.

I asked someone to scan something for me and I ended up with a photocopy :(

People on this floor print out emails and walk over to us to query something on it.
This experience is why I reacted so angrily to Nakers' classic "I print out emails and file them" troll.

I like the phone calls to let me know someone has sent me an email

Just had one of those
I'd already replied and assented by email.

this happened to my friend at uni
some berk put their phone number on a flyer instead of his own fax number; they got loads of fax machines trying their number again and again and again...

A 'fax machine'?
How quaint.

you'd be surprised how many legal documents get faxed
if you've got historic deeds that didn't envisage email, a huge number of them permit/require service by fax. similarly, it's a valid method of filing documents at court. it'll be necessary for a long time yet.

And they say the law moves with the times

(Captain Placid 24/7 ball gags, brownie mix and clown porn, Wed 16 Jul 2014, 16:46, Reply)

it does
with the times it was created. you can't take a deed that was created 20 years ago and say, "imma unilaterally change this so that i can serve by email". it wouldn't be valid!

see above
also, i would never accept service of court documents by email, unless it's a one-off and i am on the phone whilst we are exchanging.
