    The one that touches the monitor screens? or the one that doesn't? You might think it's not a big deal. But I really get pissed off if someone touches the monitor's surface just to point something out there. A guy here presses deep into the LCD and says "THIS!" is the problem. I feel like saying "If you don't take the finger off my screen, your finger would be in problem." But seriously, I've at least really requested some of them here not to do it. -humbly. I've ignored these many times. But when I do, after switching off the monitor if see a mess of dirty fingerprints, I get totally annoyed. :| Some dudes go farther & use the back side of pen/marker to point out a line of code that might be causing a problem. :doh: The funnier side of it - the little cousin I have around here, tries to do the same. When he does, I stop him & teach him some gadget-manners - i.e why we shouldn't touch computers/Notebooks screens so hard ,etc. He listens & waits only to ask me back the same question when I'm using my tablet. The grumpy kid certainly feels I'm a Hypocrite. :)

    I'm no prude: I feel free to touch my kit however I want. I do, however, try not to touch other people's kit if I know they're a bit repressed about it. Actually, I'm known to draw on my screen with whiteboard pens when it helps. And I've been known to fix a problem with errant punctuation in my code by gently wiping my monitor with a damp finger. If that offends, you probably wouldn't like the 25 years of accumulated breakfasts in my keyboard either.

      I used to be a Class, but after some time in the CP Q&A , i saw no value in the Structure of classes. Some say i am an Enumeration but others dispute that and say i am an Interface but honestly speaking i think i am just a Delegate because i don't see any common type system.

        I touch myself, but I don't touch others'. Um, let me clarify. I touch my own monitor, but I'm conscientious not to touch other people's monitors. Hmmm, that still doesn't sound right.... Marc

          so much this. DO NOT EVER TOUCH MY SCREENS. I can touch my smart phone and tablet. But I will very openly clean them if someone else uses them for a bit. Bit like drinking out of someone else's beer. Just don't do it. How do people not get this?

          To err is human to really mess up you need a computer

            I've never had a problem with it. However I've encountered co-workers that certainly have - the interactions between us are ... funny. :) Especially when they call me over to "have a look" at something ;)

                  I only touch the screen of tablets (which are touchscreen) and laptops (which should be). On desktop machines, there's no point in doing so.

                  I get confused between my touch sensitive tablet and my non-touch sensitive laptop. Jabbing away at the laptop just doesn't seem to work.

                  I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

                      I have an ultrabook (touch) and a laptop (non-touch) so using the latter can be maddeningly inefficient at times.

                        I slap anyone who touches my monitor. Lightly the first time and with a fist the second (and last) time!

                          We've used touchscreen toughbooks here for years, I always have one or two on my desk. Generally use a finger, a stylus, or the back end of a pen to jab away at the screens. Problem is I then start jabbing away at the monitor of my desktop too, always takes a few prods before I realise it's never going to work. Lots of the engineers use the business end of pens to work their toughbooks because they always lose the styluses. Some of the screens have so much ink on them it can be hard to work out what is supposed to be showing.

                          Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

                            I really hate when someone pokes my screen, the first time they do it, I ask him/her gently not to, the second time I yell at them, the third time, they end up in a hospital... :)
