Man i can't stand it when other people use my computer. Always put their damn fingers on my monitor, move my speakers around, and mess around with my cd's. I really hate having such a good computer cuz everyone always wants to use it.

I hate when my dad uses my computer. He doesn't really do anything bad with it, it's just annoying when I know he's been using it. Also he usually asks me annoying quesitons after using it...

No one uses my computer without me being there but they can't seem to keep their fingers off of the monitor. I need to find a way to electrify the thing.

I especially hate it when people go snooping around your drives.

Another thing is when people like my sister DOUBLE-CLICK on hyperlinks on webpages....STOP DOING THAT. This just irritates me to the point that I scream at them. :|


I should take a bottle of chill-pills:p

I use to hate until i installed windows XP. Now I don't mind cause everyone has their own account to use. And a guest account for guests. XP has made been worth it for that feature for me.

I can't freakin' stand it.

My old roommate didn't have a computer for a few months, so I let him check his email and stuff on my computer whenever I wasn't using it. After a couple weeks, he had his own folders full of crappy music on my hard drive and installed about every P2P file trading program he could find.

Maybe I'm just anal, but I think that's crossing the line a bit.

I don't really mind to much if my roomates use my computer. What I really hate is when they use my printer without asking me. Being the nice guy that I am, I share my printer on our network, and I told everyone to just ask me if they need to print something. But on numerous occasions I have caught one of them printing without asking me. I'm a poor college kid, and those ink cartridges are like $40!!!

bwahah, strange, none of of my friends/family/relatives have ever made marks on my monitor. That's the strangest thing i've heard it a while.

The running prank here in my dorms is warning each other to 100% on aim, putting gay porn background on your desktop, and other stupid things like that. Everyone learns to lock their comp real fast.

that happened last year in our dorms.. of course, I was the only one w/ win2k so everyone else just had screensaver passwords.. of course when they weren't looking I put the time on 30 mins and waited for them to leave :D

fingerprints on monitor make me EXPLODE!!!

but you know what's even worse? I have my own athlon-500 in my own room. everyone wanted to use my computer so I bought my little brother a kickin duron 700 last year, and then bought some used computer for my parents a month later.

EVERYONE STILL USES MY COMPUTER!!!
you know what WORST OF ALL!!! My parents using my computer for e-mail and me coming home finding out there's about 5 of the latest viruses on there!!!
GAWD NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't use a virus detector because I've seen enough viruses to be able to avoid them naturally for 3 years straight.
This incident was just 2 weeks ago when my dad came back from abroad with a stupid floppy disk and had to check some e-mail. My computer worked PERFECTLY until that day, and now, I get occasional program crashes after cleaning out the viruses!!!

STUPID STUPID STOOOOPID

I can't stand it when people touch my monitor. The problem with telling them that it bothers you is that some roommates will then find it hilarious to position their hand as close to the screen as possible without touching it. I like to avoid others using my box just because I'm picky about window sizes and locations.
