I don’t quite understand the obsession that people have with monitors. They like to touch it, point stuff by actually using their digits, as if I would never understand what they want me to see if they read it out to me, or indicate in the general direction without making physical contact.
No, that never goes into their head. Never.
And I hate hands on my monitor. Sweaty, greasy fingers that leave prints on the display. Which I cannot stand, as I said before, and so the moment someone does that, I rush to get my trusty lint free cloth and swipe the grime off my monitor.
Time and again I try to convince people to try and not do it, but till date, I have had very limited success.
Worse are those who come along, and think of the computer as some sort of book: They keep their finger on the word they are reading, and slide it across the screen as they read… Gaaaah! Not only does this reduce their reading speed, but also unleashes horrible unspeakable torture on my poor display!
Needless to stay, I glare at said people. Shout even. And if they still don’t agree, restrain their hands! Maybe someday I’ll get gloves made, so that people who cannot do without touching my monitor can wear them, and I’d still live life peacefully. Till then, don’t come near it, if you can’t keep your hands off my monitor!
