You just HAVE to see this movie

I have just seen the best movie of my entire life: Office Space. If you are a geek or just hate your job, this is a movie you just have to see. I warn you, I'm gonna talk about what happens in it, so if you don't want to spoil it, stop reading now.
Still with me? Okay! The movie is about a few programmers at a software company. They all hate their jobs. And they hate the printer in the office, because it never seems to work as it should. One day, the company decides to fire some people and that's when they decide to strike back. One of the guys writes some sort of virus that that takes a small amount of money out if every financial transaction and wires it to their bank account. Nobody is supposed to notice it, but of course it doesn't really go as planned.
The opening scene of the movie is something everyone is familiar with. People on their way to work, stuck in traffic. The traffic always seems to go a lot smoother in the other lane, but as soon as you switch to that lane everything jams there too, and the lane you just left starts moving again!
The best scene of the movie, however, is after they installed the virus and got fired. One of the guys took a little something from the office: the printer that always jammed! They decide it's time to take revenge on the infernal machine. They take it into a field and smash it to pieces. Hilarious! Really, watch this movie. You won't regret it.
