The most disgusting thing in the world...

[Toefur]

I was sitting here doing something or other today, and I was fiddling with my screwdriver in my hand.

I randomly, sub consciously, flicked one of the keys off of my keyboard. And I looked down into it... and it was full of hair and food crumbs.

I knew there was lots of crumbs and stuff in there... but this was incredible!

So, I flicked every single key out... and I swear, it was the most disgusting thing I had seen in ages!!!

There was this lump of hair tangled around every single little key thing. All mixed with food crumbs and what have you.

I was seriously amazed. It was just so ICKY! :D

[trenzterra]

yucks! Did you put back the keys properly? :D

LOL... Thankfully I did!

I was afraid I wouldnt, so I lined them all up when I took them out. Although, it took me a good few minutes to get the arrow keys in the right places... im so dumb. :o

And, i did just realise my spacebar was in upside down! :o

[stu]

use nair on your keyboard, works great :biggrin2:

[sagethefreak]

isnt that gross?! i've done that before....

[Nick]

I like to keep mine cleaned out, so on Tuesdays I flip the keyboard upside down, shake and beat it on the tray it sits on untill all the stuff comes out. Sit the keyboard off to the side of my desk. Pull the sliding keyboard tray out and dump it on the floor. The cleaning lady vacums it up the next day :biggrin2: .

my whole family uses mine--and guess what? i found snot! sound good?

[Gayowulf]

um... what difference does it make when the spacebar is upside down?

Anyway, gonna clean my old computer's keyboard now. :D
[ADD]I found hair and dust inside the space key...

Maybe it doesn't fit right? :confused2

I don't really know though, because I have one of those ergonomic keyboards (http://www.pcextremes.com/reviews/controllers/mskeyboard/index.1.jpg) from microsoft.

Yucks!

Just to clarify, it wasn't my keyboard, just one that came through the shop. He was pretty good sized. It's amazing how nasty some people let their equipment get.

I've also got a picture at work of a dead mouse we found in an old Okidata printer one time. I guess he curled up in a warm place and zappp!

Peace... :cool:

[Daniel]

Mouse in printer? o.O...... That must be digusting.....

It actually makes quite a difference. Whilst you can manage to put it in, and it clicks into place; it is a little out of shape and on the wrong angle; so when it is upside down... half the time you push it, it doesn't work.

It's gross enough to see a cockroach. I'm not even going to dream about eating one.

[LeX]

The Chinese eats just about anything... a magazine once reported of places in China where women sold their newborns to restaurants for about RMP$3000, and people actually eat 'em. Eww! :nervous:

The magazine also showed you how the infants were prepared. It was so sad... you see a baby get washed, cleaned, cooked then served. I really wish I hadn't seen that report now, it gives me the goosebumps.

[sagethefreak]

that is discusting! i wish you had never said that! :cry2: :mad: :angry2: :devious2:

'Cause your description sounds amazingly similar to it.

I regularly clean my keyboard at least one a week, there's nothing in it except maybe a few crumbs that have accumulated from the past couple days.

If you want icky and happen to own and old phone, the kind where you can screw the mouth piece off - do. You'll find it's filled with dried saliva, dust and bacteria. JUMMY! :classic2:

(I can tell :devious2:) Unlike that fuzzy pic of a man supposedly eating a baby's leg in that fake report.

[Coolin]

Thanks you I now lost my arrow key :mad:

Dammit. :mad:

[Docevl]

I lost my ESC key a long time ago, and never found it.

About what these people find in their keyboards. I'm afraid to see what's in mine....

[meow]

I just did. You inspired me to take it apart. The keys have been jammed to and fro for 6 month. Now it's like new. And I could feed the cat with what came out of it too. Thank you! :classic2:

Thankyou for this livley topic, I now know that I'll later regret typing with my feet. :)

[meow]

Just give it a good lick, cow. ;)
Cow tongues are a known remedy for all sorts of sticky stuff. (Have successfully used them myself to get rid of dry paint on my hands.)

I'll scan those pictures for those who are curious and for those who don't believe me... tomorrow, I'll bring the magazine home and scan the pictures.
