An interesting observation about public computers.

Kanabia
06-05-2005, 16:33
I was using a computer at uni a while back, then looked at the keyboard, and noticed....yep, a curly pubic hair. Eww. I thought that was probably a one-off occurence. Then, when at a public library searching for a book on one of the terminals...another pube. Eww. Now, I was somewhat amused and quite freaked out at the same time, so I did some searching. I conclude that public computers are riddled with pubic hair. So much so, that I doubt it is coincidence that the word public contains all the letters of pubic.

It's not just public computers though. I notice it everywhere. Friends houses, internet cafe's, wherever. They're taking over the world, I tells ya! *bounces around padded cell*

So, shake your keyboard upside down. Any pubic hair?

What should be done about this menace?

well while my particular 'board might not be infested, we do know they can walk and fly - so watch out! :eek:

i think we need some kind of anti-pube thingy... like "pube-u-like" :D

Woah...and I thought broken space bars were bad...

I'm rather glad to say I've never found pubic hairs on any computer.

I'm sorry to hear that. Its pretty disgusting. Have you ever cleaned a keyboard? All that "dust" is mainly human skin cells.
How about when the keys are noticably tacky? Whats that-food? You know-when the center of the key is osrt of clean, but the rest of the key is darkened with some sort of residue?
Maybe public use computers could have that thin plastic shield over them-it could be cleaned or discarded and replaced. It would certainly preserve the life of the keyboard.

Oooh, that cover is a really good idea. And nah, I don't clean my keyboards. I throw them out when insects crawl out when I press the keys or fungus spores shoot out.

I do have hair inbetween the keys on my keyboard, but it's impossible to tell what kind :(

*anyway* everyone take note next time you use a public computer. I betcha you'll find some.

I assume that it would be rather extreme to get pubes their own computers.

Just how do pubic hairs get onto keyboards, anyway? I've never seen that happen, before (or I've never noticed). How do they get there? Diffusion?

Hehe. If you give them one computer, they'll want them all! NEVAR!

I really have no idea how they get there, it's really quite odd. Or maybe I do have some idea, but i'll keep that thought in my head. Pay attention though...I didn't notice any until I saw the first. Now I see them on at least 1/3 of the public computers I use, and that's being conservative. :eek:

Um... Did any of you happen to consider that what you think is a pube is actually just a common 'ol hair from a Black guy/gal?

Most people can't tell the difference from just one hair...

I've never found any hair in my keyboard, pubic or otherwise.

That's mainly because my keyboard is attached to my computer. I have a laptop.

On public computers, I use computers in schools where people do not leave their hair lying around. Unless they're in the drama class.

Hmm. Well, maybe at uni, but then it's only a brief exposure until I can hide in a dark corner of a train. At work, I usually work nights, and my blinds are always closed. So therefore my pubes and eyebrows should rightly be the same colour, but they are not.

I was using a computer at uni a while back, then looked at the keyboard, and noticed....yep, a curly pubic hair. Eww. I thought that was probably a one-off occurence. Then, when at a public library searching for a book on one of the terminals...another pube. Eww. Now, I was somewhat amused and quite freaked out at the same time, so I did some searching. I conclude that public computers are riddled with pubic hair. So much so, that I doubt it is coincidence that the word public contains all the letters of pubic.

It's not just public computers though. I notice it everywhere. Friends houses, internet cafe's, wherever. They're taking over the world, I tells ya! *bounces around padded cell*

So, shake your keyboard upside down. Any pubic hair?

What should be done about this menace?
