I once had a fickle work printer, so one night I circled the office supplies around to witness its shame. Stapler, scanner gun, etc. All pointed at it like some kind of humiliation seance.
It worked. Tried it again the next night. Worked again.
It became our lil ritual before clicking the button.
I once asked a priest to bless a printer that I was in the middle of fighting with and he went "I only bless things when there's a chance it'll take" and then turned and walked out of the room.
