When someone points at my laptop and touches the screen...

I took my laptop to a meeting with our wedding planner, and as we were showing her pictures and videos she started jabbing her ball point pen at the screen smearing it with cheap blue ink. We planned our own wedding.

My coworker bought a new computer with a 24" LCD monitor. My boss wrote on it with a pencil within a week.

How many times does someone have to say something that everyone unanimously agrees with before we get bored of it and start preventing them from getting to the front page?

My girlfriend does it constantly. I feel like this

I hate it when those tiny black bugs fly onto your screen and you try to gently nudge it out of the way but it refuses to move so you end up killing it and then it's impossible to clean up completely.

It does not bother me at all when someone touches my screen. As long as you don't have cheeto-fingers or are really pushing down on the thing it is perfectly acceptable.

I especially hate it when someone with uncut, gross fingernails starts dragging them along the screen.

I don't know why this along with eating with your mouth open, and driving slow in the fast lane, aren't repeatedly pounded into children's brains?

I feel the same way about people who put there nasty fingers all over my photos, people who want to use my cell phone when they have chip dust all over their god damn hands, and people who just start to use my laptop without even asking me.

bkay17 · 1 year

I just don't get it. Do these people put their fingerprints all over their own damn computer screens too? What the fuck? Don't touch my shit.

Have you ever noticed screen touchers are the same ones that send "joke" emails.

Back when I had my Tablet PC, people would touch the screen and unintentionally load a brand new page. Stop abusing its touch screen powers!

dwal92 · 1 year

It is even worse when you are forced to touch the screen because the person using the computer seems utterly useless and can't find what you are referring to.

I was walking through BestBuy one day when a woman says "Oh, there is that stuff I been looking for!" and she walks up to some TV screen cleaning fluid. Her husband/boyfriend says "What for?". She replies "Ya' know, to get the finger prints off the screen..." You should have seen that guy, it looked like someone had slapped him. He did a double-take, and gasps "Fingerprints! Fingerprints!? What you touchin' my TV for? You don't touch it. You don't gotta touch it. You NEVER touch it. Why did you even touch it for?!? Fingerprints?!?

I tried my best not to laugh, but the poor dude just seemed so honestly outraged at the thought of her touching his TV, that I lost it and had to quickly walk away.

Glass screen. Not a single fuck is given.

I've had to explain to screen touchers far too many times that there's never a good reason to touch a monitor/laptop screen. If you wanna point to something, the damn mouse is even shaped like an arrow!

slyf · 12 months

I had a prof who would touch the screen with the writing end of a pen.

I can't find it at the moment, but I posted a comment to reddit over a year ago about how I dealt with the problem of a screen toucher.

At university late one evening working with a team member who was renowned on the computing course for pawing screens. I gave him two polite but firm warnings: Please do not touch the screen. The third time he touched the screen I casually wiped my thumbs down the sides of my nose and gently pressed them on the lenses of his glasses while he was wearing them.

tl;dr: Two beautiful thumb prints cured a screen toucher.

I dont point by touch. You know that. Who the fuck even does that any more, its like realizing its impolite to chew with your mouth open at the age of 70. I can see you getting ready to scream just when I raise my arm. That just makes me put my finger that wee bit closer. Especially because you have no idea how your precious new laptop works. Will it explode if a fly lands on it? Now if you discover that that blue e isnt 'the internet' and realize that java is not necessarily a virus, we might be getting somewhere soon.

I hate people taht have no idea how to handle electronic devices, no wonder all the stuff they have is alway in bad shape. I also hate when they press extra hard on touch screen devices even though those devices are pretty sensitive. WHY THE HELL DO YOU HAVE TO PUT A HOLE ON MY 700 € iPAD?

My laptop's screen is gorilla glass and a capacitive touchscreen. Touching is encouraged!

GreyInkling · 12 months

My laptop has a tablet monitor. This is an even bigger no-no because when people touch the screen shit happens.

EbonScaled · 12 months

"Just click here. No. Not there.Up from there. Okay, I don't know why you thought I meant the top of the screen, so down a bit. Just a little bit more. No, you can go a bit f--no, not at the bottom. Fuck it, it's right here!" "Don't touch my screen, bro" This is the only instance where I'll touch the screen.

Sarah_Connor · 12 months

I used to work with a guy who got so upset about this, I made it a point to touch his screen simply because how irate it made him.

GAHH! People who touch screens!!! WHY!>!>! Oh, and the people who point vigorously to emphasise something. BREAKING MY SCREEN DOESN"T PROVE yOUR POJNT!

AngryMathDave · 12 months

A co-worker pointed at my screen with the tip of a red ball point pen. He marked the glass screen. I was able to quickly remove it. I told him, "What are you doing?! You just marked my screen with your pen. Please don't use the tip of your pen to point to my screen." He was unphased, game me a look like "What's the big deal?".

My niece and I play Minecraft together, she's 5. She points, I build. I taught her never to touch the screen. I think I'm a good uncle.

TurdFerguson78 · 12 months

I work with a lady that is constantly poking my monitor eveytime she comes over to my desk for help. Drives me nuts! I don't know how much more I can take. She walks away and there's smudges all over the screen. One of these days I'm going to break her finger off and shove it up her ass!

BrownPower · 12 months

I informed my mother, quite politely, that she shouldn't touch the screen since it smudges it and stuff. And she went BALLISTIC on my nuts (heh, pun?). It makes me sad that people don't understand monitor etiquette.
