I'm no prude: I feel free to touch my kit however I want. I do, however, try not to touch other people's kit if I know they're a bit repressed about it.
Actually, I'm known to draw on my screen with whiteboard pens when it helps. And I've been known to fix a problem with errant punctuation in my code by gently wiping my monitor with a damp finger.
If that offends, you probably wouldn't like the 25 years of accumulated breakfasts in my keyboard either.

so much this. DO NOT EVER TOUCH MY SCREENS.
I can touch my smart phone and tablet. But I will very openly clean them if someone else uses them for a bit. Bit like drinking out of someone else's beer. Just don't do it.
How do people not get this?
To err is human to really mess up you need a computer

I've never had a problem with it. However I've encountered co-workers that certainly have - the interactions between us are ... funny.  Especially when they call me over to "have a look" at something

In the world of touch screen you will come off as a nazi

I slap anyone who touches my monitor. Lightly the first time and with a fist the second (and last) time!

I really hate when someone pokes my screen, the first time they do it, I ask him/her gently not to, the second time I yell at them, the third time, they end up in a hospital...

If it don't belong to you, you've got no right to touch it. I hate touch screens, makes me feel too bossy.

...saw a priest hitchhiking. He thought he would do a good turn and pulled the truck over.
"No problem, Father! I'll give you a lift. Climb in the truck."
The happy priest climbed into the passenger seat and the truck driver continued down
the road. Suddenly the truck driver saw a lawyer walking down the road and
instinctively he swerved to hit him.
But he remembered there was a priest in the truck with him, so at the last minute
he swerved back away, narrowly missing the lawyer. But even though he was sure
he missed the lawyer he still heard a loud "THUMP".
He glanced in his mirrors and when he didn't see anything, he turned to the priest and said,
"I'm sorry Father. I almost hit that lawyer."
"That's okay," replied the priest.
"I got him with the door!"

I am glad you have found a non-offensive way to present the joke.

If somebody could tell me a fool-proof way of identifying a lawyer from a distance, I'd oil the hinges on my car door.

What's the difference between a shark and a traffic warden?
One's a fearsome creature that attacks at random, draining your life blood, and the other's a shark!

For "Lawyer" read "Traffic Warden"...

They have advantages: they have a single blue line on the hat / baseball cap, rather than two yellow lines.
This means you are allowed to park on their heads...

Are disappointing.
Despite being the subject of a court case supposedly involving a giant biscuit cake to show they are not liable to VAT, and specialist monitoring systems[^] being built to check they are OK on the production line (which is over a mile long), they are very disappointing to eat.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Depends on which ones you buy: the McVities ones are indeed pretty poor these days: so-so sponge, tasteless "orangey bit" and little chocolate.
The Lyons ones are much better for "orangeyness" and good chocolate thickness, but a dry sponge; while the Tesco version is ok sponge, good "orangeyness" but spray paint chocolate to ensure an even one molecule thickness...
None of them dunk well.
I quite like these: Asda Milk Chocolate Oatie Crumbles[^] - despite being milk chocolate rather than plain, they are similar to McVities milk chocolate hobnobs[^] but better. Can't eat many at a time though - which is a bonus!

NO! If you don't like Jaffa cakes there is something wrong with you, so I'd recommend a visit to a doctor. Preferably a proctologist, as your tastebuds is full of sh*te.
