He would call us to remove a virus then dispute the bill because we deleted his infected files after cleaning the rest of the OS.

It took all I had to touch that keyboard and finish the job.

Maybe a portable keyboard would be handy for any help issues. It seems like a nasty keyboard happens often.

I keep a roll-up in my backpack now for this plus other reasons.

The best was when I finally got power off and went to grab the box only to have my hand smush into a cupcake or donut that was stuck to the side and molding.

Well judging by how much of an asshole you are on this forum (usually) I'm going to go ahead and assume that your "associate" was doing this intentionally.

I went to this oldish lady's house to fix her computer and she's really nice (offers lemonade, makes smalltalk) except for the fact that she's wearing a see-through nightgown with nothing underneath and she's standing just a few inches away all the time.
I pretended not to notice and got out of there as fast as possible.

60GB of nasty nasty porn (not sure what people where trying to accomplish in those vids) on a 12 year old girls computer... had fixed it as a family favor

I was rather confused for a week after that....

I'll admit I took a look but I stand firm that coitus should be performed between members of the same species....

Does that happen a lot? I know I read in a thread that if you take your PC to Best Buy, they will make copies of your music and porn.

did they have propane powered forklifts? I did some work in a warehouse once that used those and after a while I started to notice that my boogers were all black from breathing in that shit

So you shut down a perfectly functional small business just because of some pesky government regulation? This is why we need less government, not more. If businesses are shutting down because of a few bugs, our economy will never get better.

Are you stupid or sarcastic?

Someone who literally smelled exactly like the local landfill on a summer day. You could smell it from six feet away. It's happened on more than one occasion--dunno if he just misses a shower or two and begins to reek or what, but it's bloody awful.

At my first job, this huge hambeast buttertroll lady was moving to a cube on the other side of her floor. She ate at her desk, a lot. When we were loading her computer, etc. onto a cart we saw all sorts of crumbs and sticky stuff (spilled soda?) all over her desk, that had been underneath the computer and other things. Her desk was nasty.

desk, keyboard and mice feeling all slick like there's lotion on them
keys on keyboard worn down to point where they're smooth and glossy
phone handsets/headsets caked with makeup
having to sit in the chair of a fat person that just got up and the chair feels like a burner

haha I had to do the same. Had to install drivers for a web cam.

Why they wanted a web cam in a morgue, I don't know. I looked for a table I can use to unpackage the camera and found one with a bunch of thermoses on it but enough room for me to work on without being too near to exposed medical stuff (don't want to contaminate, etc). Then I happen to read the thermos "Human eyes". Yeeaaaahh. I was tempted to open it to check it out but decided I better not mess around.

Stuff like that does not really bother me, I actually think it's cool. Would of been better if there would of been some experiment going on but the room was fairly clean of any, ...human parts.
