Hey;
Well it's been a few months since StarCraft 2 came out and although it doesn't need the best equipment out there; it's safe to say that many of us got new gaming gear anyway to enjoy our experience.
I've never been one to get into the hype about cool headsets or keyboards, mice, etc but I spent a pretty penny on that stuff the last few weeks.
Now... I forgot that sometimes my cousins, or girlfriend or friends come over and like to use the computer sometimes..
Sigh...
Traces of food in or around the keyboard...
Bumping my Razer Mamba mice against the desk...
Tossing my headset aside..
AHHHHH!!!!!! =(
Please stop~~~~~
*I just dont think they get the value or importance of the gaming gear that many of us invest in. And when I explain it to them.. they giggle...

Yeah I refuse to let most people use my stuff. Controllers and stuff even feel different after they got their grubby hands on 'em :<

yes YES
GOD I hate that so much

ahaha yeah I get that sometimes but I got used to it as long as no ones eating while playing
|
I left my Razer DeathAdder in a Lan once. I cried when I got home T_T
|
I hate it when other people have greasy hands and we are sharing controllers or gear. My hands usually stay dry when I play and the feel of greasiness on any controller really messes with my control. Plus it's gross.

It scares the absolute living shit out of me too.

omfg 100% vouch.
i hate it when anybody else uses my mouse or keyboard, they feel slippery afterwards and i gotta clean them.
another "classic": the first thing they do when sitting down in front of my laptop is to adjust the monitor´s angle by grabbing into the display with their dirty fingers.

Let my friend borrow a game, gives it back to me after a year, gets scratched to oblivion. Luckily it was just a old game which I didnt care for but equipment is a whole other thing... I annoy them to death, telling them to clean the controller and whatever else.
I dont want to get my controllers back and its all shimmering with oily finger prints and whatnot from sweaty hands. Come to think of it seems like a very minor case of OCD? Hahah!

Also when people eat next to the monitor and keyboard, its nasty...

since my gear isn't new and thus dirty anyways, i don't mind ppl using my gear. I just mind them using my software because i have everything in a pretty hardcore configuration. like, browser is mouse gesture controlled, i don't use quick launch, desktop items or the start menu for that matter.. I actually have firefox installed just because i very seldomly need it (screw octoshape, mlg!) and because i need a browser every now and then, that normal people can still use without having to stand next to them and explaining them three times how to switch tabs (no tab bar either, yay :D)

Oh, GOD yes. 100% this. Although weirdly enough, I don't mind too much if they use my keyboard and mouse. Maybe because they're not using it for extended periods of time. Long as they're not eating it's fine.

omg the laptop... It's so true, I hate it. I also hate it when people point at the screen and they feel the need to physically touch the screen to show you what they want to show you. Now I understand if they accidentally hit it but when they touch the screen and then drag their fingerprints across the screen it sucks.
Another thing I hate is when people use your mouse/keyboard with while eating stuff and after you ask them to not touch the equipment and they tell you so you stop bothering them that they'll clean it and they never do. 
Just remembered of this, !@$)( people changing all your settings. I had my friend thinking he should prove to be gosu at SC2 because he was playing at my house, so while I went to the bathroom, he felt the need to change all my DPI on my mouse, I wanted to kick him in the balls.
I think software changes keybind/sensitivity are worse than hardware discomfort imo.

I refuse to use it again without cleaning/wiping it off. I also hate how my mom pushes my monitor back to the end of the desk on some funky angle along with my keyboard, knocking my desk speakers off on to the floor. FSDFLSJFOPASDWEDAOSDCIJMS :<

whenever i let anyone use my gear, i wipe down everything with a damp paper towel afterward. i dont think i'll ever let someone use my laptop for more than 5 minutes.
|
omfg it bothers me so much. nobody ever understands why. i am glad i am not alone.
today, i came home with my monitor an inch or two forward. "MOM WHAT WERE YOU DOING ON MY COMPUTER"
|
I really dont care when people use my stuff...unless they don't ask then I rage a little
|
I got my macbook pro last year.
I still don't let anyone touch it.
|
I make everyone wash their hands if they use my stuff, but I still clean everything when their done using it. But thats only if they have to use it for a reason, otherwise I don't let anyone use my stuff.
|
wow you guys are freaks.
I let everyone use my stuff however he/she whishes.
If you don't like someone to mess with your software/config/data just enable 'Guest' account and
block the screen whenever you leave your keyboard, not that hard.
