Corpse Run 530: Peeve
I feel fairly confident that I’m about to repeat something, but here we go: I hate having grimy hands. If I just ate something greasy, or was cooking and using oil, etc… that slippery, sticky, gooey feeling is just the worst.
Any time I eat and get a little greasy handed I require myself to wash my hands before touching anything. Especially electronic devices. Can’t have gross controllers or keyboards!
Back during college I’d sometimes provide my 360 controllers to Games Club events. EVERY TIME THEY WOULD COME BACK GREASY.
I’d follow up by spending the next week holding the controller with a tissue while playing in a weird attempt to shield myself from the grime while also cleaning it.
I think the effect was more mental than practical.
By the way, it’s been pouring up at camp… literally every day we’ve had rain.
Booooooooooooo.
Oh, I know that feeling. My brother would always ask to play on my computer, and every time when he was done, I’d get on and there was crap on my keyboard/mouse. And once, he got glue on it. Freaking GLUE.
I have that thing with my hands as well. I can’t stand it if my hands are sticky, too dry or anything of sorts. I wonder what causes this. On the other hand (can we consider this a pun?), wish we had rain here. The plants and trees would appreciate it 😀
I understand the need for clean hardware. I don’t understand how some people let their controllers ans keyboards get so dirty. I actually should clean mine too between the keys but at least the keys themselves are clean.
We’ve been having a heatwave over here, we could do with some of that rain. They predicted a lightning storm though, so we’ll probably get some soon.
I once lent my PS-1 to my (at the time) girlfriend’s little brother over the weekend. When she brought it back EVERYTHING was sticky and greasy.
The controllers, the game system itself, and even the wires.
When I asked him what had happened he just gave me a shoulder shrug and the typical teenage grunt of “I dunno”.
I can honestly say I cringed inside at the middle panel.
Growing up, I didn’t have my own console but instead would visit my aunt’s house and play on her SNES with my cousin. I always had to wash, or at least dust off, my hands after eating anything at all greasy, sticky or dusted(like cheetos). My cousin, on the other hand, didn’t. I honestly have no idea how he could stand playing with slippery hands…
Gotta read your archives..
For this exact reason I have designated controllers for people under the age of 13 AND my own personal controllers designated for my exclusive useage. Children are gross mang.
