(many) people are jerks, or just like to hold their own imagined superiority over you.
Your copying story reminded me of something that happened to me:
Many many years ago, I was working in an office as a technical writer, and part of my job was to make copies of documents because no one else was there to do it. One day and night, I ended up spending a full 8 hours in the copy room making 20 copies of a 400 page color document (and this was in, say, 1996? when color copies were not fast yet). The next day I put my resume up on Monster. Two days later my boss called me into her office wanting to "interview me for whatever job it is I'm looking for on the internet." It was really uncanny. I told her she paid me too much to make copies. I got a huge raise, and an assistant out of the deal.
Oh and by the way, on the east coast everyone eats their bagels like a sandwich. Most of the time you put more than just cream cheese on it too. So if you try to eat it open you get a big old mess.
