Like yours, mine is tamed and very gentle with me...euhhh!... Are you talking about Varanus Komodoensis?

Haha: I agree: I hate it if someone touches the screen, either with finger or pen and will always stop them. It's just bloody rude.

I only use the back end of a pen. It doesn't leave a mark, and I don't have to get as close to the person operating the screen. Trying to preserve personal space!

Better they touch my screen than touch me.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Get touch screens, I worked with one recently and realised I am a toucher when instructing, it is really f***ing irritating to have the screen react when you are just trying to point out something.
Get some screen cleaner, I need to do it weekly, I do quite a bit of instructing
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I hate this habit, and sometimes I get even angry and sweep mr-screen-digger's hand away from screen .Very disturbing...

I only touch the screen of tablets (which are touchscreen) and laptops (which should be).
On desktop machines, there's no point in doing so.

I get confused between my touch sensitive tablet and my non-touch sensitive laptop. Jabbing away at the laptop just doesn't seem to work.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

I have an ultrabook (touch) and a laptop (non-touch) so using the latter can be maddeningly inefficient at times.

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!
