And I keep on telling you, you're an attractive guy. Get out there and go after a few chicks yourself. It's not magic... sorta.

That one is dead and gone. I'll post my spam one on here and then in an email I'll give you my real one.

Ya gotta yell at them. Stop, turn around and ask what they're trying to get you to do.
We had this one guy who would just "click here. Here here no just click here. here. Now go there..click on that, right here...here. no here" He sounded like he'd drank 2 gallons of red bull.
Finally had to bark at him to get him to stop. Nicely. But it was what it was.

It seems you've met most of the people I have ever worked with in the industry. Small world.

He was a great guy. He just communicated so very poorly that he'd resort to this nonsense.

Since I process photos on my monitor I don't, nor do I let anyone else touch my screen.
Barney Rubble was the last one to touch it.
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

I've often wanted to create a hybrid LCD/Van de Graaff generator to help make the fingers off point for me.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

Only if you want to smoke your monitor instead of just LARTing the luser.

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....

Like yours, mine is tamed and very gentle with me...euhhh!... Are you talking about Varanus Komodoensis?

Haha: I agree: I hate it if someone touches the screen, either with finger or pen and will always stop them. It's just bloody rude.

I only use the back end of a pen. It doesn't leave a mark, and I don't have to get as close to the person operating the screen. Trying to preserve personal space!

Kill mode on...
Somehow if somebody touches any of my screens an automatic sudden death happens...

Better they touch my screen than touch me. 
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Get touch screens, I worked with one recently and realised I am a toucher when instructing, it is really f***ing irritating to have the screen react when you are just trying to point out something.
Get some screen cleaner, I need to do it weekly, I do quite a bit of instructing 
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I hate this habit, and sometimes I get even angry and sweep mr-screen-digger's hand away from screen .Very disturbing...

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'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.

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
