So we all have habits around our precious technological children, but what are things that you refuse to bring near or do near them? and what is allowed? We all have limits, what are yours?

I will not allow people with wet hands or sticky hands to touch my Laptop... also if someone is sick i ask for them to wipe their hands before using it... I generally don't let people use my Laptop
I don't like liquids around my case, sort of true.
Others are allowed to use my PC, but I am conflicted about it, tbh - except when it comes to family.
My case is place in such as way that you can't accidentally kick it. I'm not happy with its place as I feel it's not get decent air flow.
No open liquid containers, at least on the side of the table underneath which my computer sits (I have a energetic 5 year old and I am very clumsy) and also nothing that makes crumbs or is oily. I dislike eating chips/crisps and never take them to a LAN. It just makes the keys and mouse oily.
I once spilled a glass of water on my open computer case, but because I am paranoid about electricity, it was not plugged it. So I just left it for 2 or so days and it worked. The CPU fan packed up a few months later, not sure whether that was just normal or due to the water.
Owning a laptop is terrifying because im always scared of spillage, i drink tea often but i keep behind my laptop, about an arms length away from meQuote:

My laptop for work I have no rules, it's still company policy and it's a worthless pathetic excuse for a laptop. It's already second hand and I know it's going to see more action after I leave. I clean it every now and then then but I have very little attachment to the thing.
I have all black keycaps, so people generally don't want to use my PC anyways :) Can't say I have a lot of don'ts otherwise...
So you all eat at your PC's? Asking because of the snack thread:p
Pretty much. I've got no one to eat with, so I have no one to break my bad habits... :cool:Quote:

Awkward moments arise when eating something oily with both hands and have to pause a YouTube video using the mouse.
SPlayer is easy; just tap [SPACE] and Bob's your metaphorical uncle.
YouTube video; awkwardly position your wrist and pinky finger...
