I'm having numerous quality issues with a printing company that recently did a job for me.
Last night, I discovered the following. Did this blob (of whatever) come out of somebody's mouth?
Any ideas what it might be? It has no smell to speak of, but then again, I can't smell very well.

I've never seen anything like that on our printed jobs.
Is it 1 blob or are there a few of them. That's pretty gross looking whatever it is.

It's just one blob in one book.
I've never used or been around chewing tobacco before. Would it dry like that after being chewed on? The brown flakes will easily displace if you poke at them.

wow. I'd bring that to the printer's attention... and from the looks of your other thread, my next step would be to find a new printer.

Spit happens.

*word of warning*
If you are ever around anyone who chews ... NEVER drink from a container you might think is yours!
I've know a few chewers over the years and believe me if anyone thinks smoking is nasty ... it's a walk through a field of daisys compared to chewing.

i think that probably goes against the accepted standards and practices... ;)
there was a guy where i used to work that got so made at his supervisor that at the end of his shifthe went to the supervisor's desk, opened up the drawer where your lap would be (the wide shallow drawer), and took a dump right there, and closed it up.
needless to say, he was let go immediately but i always thought that was the height of insanity. you don't know whether to applaud his sheer ballsiness, or shoot him in the head for being a nut.

:eek: oh my goodness Mojo!
The spit issue was bad enough, but that is borderline insanity to take a dump in a desk drawer.

taking a dump in someone's desk drawer is only considered borderline insanity?!
um, I think that would qualify as full on super crazy.

Or just plain pure unadulterated a55h01e.
Depends on who's being dumped on and who's doing the dumping.

i guess you had to know the guy. he was a little off his nut anyway, but then, most of the guys that worked the backshop in those days were a little shellshocked. it's nothing person against them (or anyone else who worked there in those days) but it was taught at vocational schools which we notorious, at least down here in the south, as sort of dumping grounds for poroblem kids.
like i said, you laughed, and then said, "oh my god."
i gotta tell you, you want to see fascinating people of every type, put in some time at a newspaper.
