Do you eat in front of your computer when you're at home?

Yea, but I'm usually playing Counter Strike or something else. Plus my desk is bigger than my table, so it's easier to eat.

Yep. I don't have the patience to sit down and do nothing but eat. I'm weird.

I'll make an exception if there's an occasion like a family visit or whatever.

Nope. Spent too much on the thing to mess it up. Especially the mouse, which I love.

I dont mind eating in front of the TV on my expensive Lay Z Boy because thats relatively easy to clean up.

No. I use to when I couldn't care less how much my system costs. Now, though I'll admit that I'm on a bit of the paranoid side, I keep food off my desk. The only thing contaminating my keyboard and mouse is dead skin, sweat and "natural" grease.

I worked IT during the past 2 summers and hate you sloppy computer eaters. You have no idea how gross it was to work 3 days in a row at someone's sticky/crud filled desk. Every time I touched a chili stained key I died a little...

My computer chair is the only chair in my room, which is my home. (rez)

Yeah i do. its my only table. For some reason, everyone (that doesn't eat at the computer) associates eating at the computer with uncleanliness. why?

No kidding. I frequently do, as do many of my coworkers. I can't say I don't get crumbs on the desk or whatever, but it's easy to clean up... :shrug;

They think that it makes your whole desk filthy, but really as long as you have a plate or container you should be able to contain the crumbs.
