It also means your a loser!

What if you don't have a desk because you're living off the government? What then, huh? Thanks for rubbing it in!

Joshua5, I'm there with you. Eating dinner at your desk, not the whole sofa thing. I mean, do you think I'm gay or something? Holy Crap.

With apologies to StrongBad

eating in the bathroom is safer?

thats great, cause you can eat your lunch and remove yesterdays lunch at the same time!

New Clorox Mouse and Phone Cleanser!

Reading this story reminded me of that "Seinfeld" episode when Kramer puts a garbage disposal in the shower and he washes his food in there while he is showering.
 
2002-03-20 09:18:58 PM
Hey, at least it's my filth at the desk.
 
2002-03-20 09:19:50 PM
especially if you're eatin' that goddamn fake fish stuff! YEEECHHH!

desk ? I have a desk ??

*moves papers n shiat

ahh! there ya are.... nothing a little Lysol disinfectant spray can't fix. I'm the only one ever at my desk, I'm clean, I know that....but the toilet ? I seriously beg to differ....anyone seen my co-workers ?

lmao

 
2002-03-20 09:22:16 PM
I don't know what's worse, eating at the desk, or int he booth of a poorly run fast food place. Hmm...

I've been fixing computers for about two years now and I have to agree with this article. I have had keyboards returned because they were full of crumbs, mice that were so gross that you really didn't want to touch them, and keyboard keys so dark with human residue (dead skin? grease? I don't know) that you almost couldn't read the letters.

Some of you farkers are nassssssty!!

This is a good warning for those of us that wipe our bologna sandwiches all over our desktop before consuming.

wtf??
 
2002-03-20 09:23:09 PM
Guess this depends on the office. The restroom in my old office was shared with a neighboring office made up of retards that prefered pissing all over the floor rather than in the urinal. We needed wading boots to make it through the room. Dirty bastards.
 
2002-03-20 09:24:04 PM
How many times did I tell them? And they still laughed at me for eating off of a toilet seat! But, who's laughing now, huh?
 
2002-03-20 09:24:15 PM
What a load of bs.

Also a load of bs: the fact that I'm still at work and I've been here for 13 hours now.
 
2002-03-20 09:25:25 PM
WoodyTX,

I think some people's fingers tend to leave more of that human residue than others (not mine) - but I have noticed this too. Do they have another job as a mechanic? Gross.

the CONCEPT of eating lunch at my desk makes me sick.


too bad that is exactly what I did three hours ago.

phuq.
 
2002-03-20 09:29:54 PM
This is no joke. I cleaned out a keyboard at a temp job I had. Bad mistake... it put me out of work with a serious flu and whatever else for about a week and a half.

Mental note to self: don't look under those keys on the keyboard.
 
2002-03-20 09:32:22 PM
Machtyn,

I was never a germ phobic - but I am now. Lysol, antibacterial gel, wash hands 300 times per day, ....
 
2002-03-20 09:32:35 PM
Gerba gives workers reasons to avoid the fax machine. Bacteria levels there were three times higher than on the bathroom door.

That's because when the suits are too cheap to buy the 2-ply toilet tissue for the restroom, I come out and wipe my ass on the fax machine. It's about as comfortable as that sandpaper they give us.
 
2002-03-20 09:34:51 PM
Anyone else get the banner ad that said:

"KFC: Why would you want to work anywhere else?"

Talk about eating lunch at work making you sick!
 
2002-03-20 09:39:12 PM
And I'm using my mousepad as a napkin.
 
2002-03-20 09:43:24 PM
they dont say anything about the health risks of Farking at your desk--i know i felt violently ill after clicking that goatse-.cx link a few days ago.

[hurl... wretch... ...]
 
2002-03-20 09:51:23 PM
Interesting, considering that work altogether makes me sick.
 
2002-03-20 09:54:31 PM
i don't need germs to make me get sick eating lunch at my desk. all i have to do is ask the guy across the room about whatever fruity health thing he's doing now, because it probably involves enemas. i only wish i were joking.
 
2002-03-20 09:58:06 PM
I hope there's no problem with me "helping God to kill kittens" while at my desk....
 
2002-03-20 10:00:26 PM
That's OK, I don't eat with my phone.

And eating at my desk means I leave work an hour earlier :)

I work in a lab at the CDC. It's a very clean place, I don't think twice about pulling out the pyrex and cooking up some lunch for my coworkers.

yup. Keyboard are the most disgusting things you can find in an office, including the crapper.

another thing at work- NEVER touch the door handle in the bathroom. use tissue. I swear to god nobody washes their hands after they crap at work.

wretch. im of to buy wet naps to wipe down my keyboard ten times a day.
 
2002-03-20 10:09:52 PM
Why do you even wash your hands after you piss. You should be washing your penis. I know what my penis has touched.

P.S Welcom to IS
 
2002-03-20 10:12:17 PM
43%: I bet alcohol prep pads would work just as well (or better); I use them to clean my moniter. They're relatively cheap, too, I think.
 
2002-03-20 10:13:40 PM
*dances*
I *was* right to leave my job!!!!! Won't die from eating lunch at my desk now!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Seriously, when I worked in the call center for a large insurance company we had HUGE desks and everybody kept a stash to food in thier desk. Like the farking 7-11, aything you want....They all thought I was a freak because every Friday I cleaned my desk with that Clorox stuff in the spray bottle. It did two things: Kept me from getting God-knows-what from the gunk on my desk and gave me an excuse to not work from 4-5 p.m. every Fri.

BTW: stuff on the keyboard keys and the mouse may be from all that lotion that some of us chicks like to put on our hands 74 times a day.
 
2002-03-20 10:13:45 PM
43%: P.S. Seriously.
 
2002-03-20 10:16:53 PM
You ever kneel down to tie your shoelaces and the tips of the laces are wet? You ever wonder WHY they're wet?

i agree with you totally.. i will never eat my lunch on the keyboard ever again.

or the door handle..
 
2002-03-20 10:20:03 PM
That "stuff' on the keyboards isn't lotion or food etc, (here's the gross part!) it's dead skin and oils from the hands. Some people get this problem alot, but I mylself never do. The mice get this on the track wheel on the ball area and ruin the accuracy greatly (hence laser mice = good). Just thought I'd gross you out a bit, oh and at my old summer job there were people that put cookies on their desk...think about that, and they wanted to share, those sickos...
 
2002-03-20 10:20:09 PM
Maxload:this is why you should wash your hands after going to the bathroom. Man I hate heving to share bathrooms with filthy people like you.
 
2002-03-20 10:22:17 PM
I think that the problem lies with that bathrooms are cleaned MUCH more regularly than someone's desk, mouse or keyboard.
 
2002-03-20 10:22:35 PM
My science teacher is cool; he's using about 3 sentences in the textbook that mention extraterrestrials to justify watching Independance Day, Men in Black, Contact, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
 
2002-03-20 10:22:38 PM
I had a small high school. Our lunch room was usually the science lab.
 
2002-03-20 10:23:00 PM
...shiat. wrong thread -_-
 
2002-03-20 10:25:17 PM
I make it a rule to open doors to rest rooms with my shoe, not hand. Hmm, come to think of it, I should just use my shoe on those that don't wash their hands, yeah that's it!
 
2002-03-20 10:31:20 PM
Ok, I'll have a talk with Mister P. about this later.
 
2002-03-20 10:32:55 PM
Don't you hate it when you go into the bathroom at work and that old, nasty, dude from accounting leaves the nastiest smelling dump ever...then, he leaves and as you're trying not to gag while washing your hands, your boss walks in and looks at you like, "man, what the hell did you eat?!?" You want to say, "it wasn't me - it was that fat-ass Gill in accounting who wears the same sweater everyday"...but that would make you look even MORE guilty.
 
2002-03-20 10:33:46 PM
Good god I hate germaphobes!

We have an immune system for a reason. Believe me, if these germs were really "that bad", we'd already be all dead....
