This happened while I was working at Wallie-World in the photolab. In the photolab we have a machine big and yellow, THE DREADED KODAK PICTURE MAKER.
Now most of you may have heard of Copyright laws, but somehow customers didn't. If you are not the photographer, then you cannot copy the photos, is the long and short of the law (I know that is more to it but I digress...).
Had a woman come up and ask me for help, and the conversation goes something like this.
LW: Lying Woman
Me: The Loveable PhotoTech
LW: I need copies of these
Me: Looking at the pics, noticing the copyright mark on them. I'm sorry but we cannot do that due to Federal Copyright law.
LW: But my husband died last week and the relatives want more copies.
Me: I understand, but my hands are tied by the LAW. There is nothing I can do, unless you get me a copyright release from the photographer.
LW: bitch and whine and repeat
Me: repeat responce..
this goes on for about 5 min. and she leaves.
Do you think its over.......................
The following week I see the LW, man, and kids in store. Man comes up and ask to pick up some pictures.
Me: your last name
Confused man: LW Last name.
Me: question are you LW husband???
CM: Yes, why.
Me: You look very good for someone who is dead. At least that is what she told me about you last week, trying to copy you picture.
CM:
CM: Turns to wife and starts an interesting conversation that got a little loud.
I just thought that meeting a zombie or jesus was interesting all in itself.
