Do you eat while you're on the computer? Do you spill stuff on the computer?

I chew on ice all the time, I don't know what it is, I just simply have a penchant for ice. Anyway, I'm always dropping ice in the keyboard and I'm waiting for it one day short out. My boyfriend will kill me when that happens and I'll be ticked because I'll have to buy a new keyboard.

Thankfully no accidents yet. I only drink my cup of coffee in the morning ocassionally while on the computer. My hubby used to be a web developer for a major company. The no crumbs thing came into play when he was showing me how to operate a MAC. So far so good.

I am not a huge eater or muncher but always have something to drink near the computer. Have a cup of coffee to the right of the mouse. I also ruined a keyboard with a regular soda months ago.I have a water resistant keyboard now but am still not running the risk of having a drink real close by. I also have a tv tray to the left of the keyboard where I keep crafts and have a coaster for water or soda later in the day. I eat up here all the time when I am home alone. It's boring sitting at the kitchen table alone. I might miss something on myLot! Our kids are grown so don't have to worry about spills with kids. We do have a cat but she's not interested in what I'm drinking and won't bother anything. She's older just like myself..lol

I am eating while I'm reading/responding to this. How? Well, I have my keyboard on the keyboard tray UNDER the surface the food is on.... It also keeps the cats off the keyboard.

I am always eating while on the computer. Trust me my keyboard is very sticky and yes, I've ruined a keyboard spilling soda on it.

I eat thing like grapes, or baby carrots and cauliflower... I can't spill those! I have my coffe when I get up once an hour... I don't need to get saddlebags and a sore back from sitting here too long... I'm trying hard to get well!

Sadly, despite knowing the risks, I often have a beverage of some sort sitting right beside me on the desk...within inches of my laptop! Luckily, I have not had any liquid to spill into the keyboard. I did have one spill, but the liquid went the opposite direction of the computer! I often eat while sitting at the computer too. There are crumbs around my desk! The things I am most likely to be caught with at the computer are: hot tea, occassional soft drink, cereal, pretzels and toast. (not at the same time of course!)

i am always eating while on the computer! i eat breakfast before work while i am on the computer at home. then when i get home from work i sometimes eat lunch (i work from 9am - 1pm) monday to friday while on the computer and if i go on at night some times i will have a snack! fortunately no i have not had an accident, but sometimes our computer keys are either covered in jam, honey or chocolate!

Yes!!! I do all the time and my hubby looks at my computer keyboard and says it is gross. There are crumbs, chocolate and whatever all over the place!

Yes, I've been known to eat and drink near my computer. And there have been many mishaps. Nothing like a dirty keyboard. The incident I remember is when there was a glass left on the desk and during the night, the cat knocked it over onto the keyboard. So I always make sure now that there isn't anything left on the desk to spill onto the keyboard.

yeah i eat some food and drinks while im in the computer like chips, bread but the most spill stuff i ate is corn with butter every time i bite it and the butter in my fingers thats why i have lots of tissue beside me:-)

I do eat by the computer but I try not to lean ver it to eat and it is only stuff like potatoe chips and things like that that are super easy to clean up. My pop and coffee are always on the table beside the computer cause if something happened I would feel soooo bad!

i don't have a dining room table, so i often eat at my desk while on the computer. however, i'm very careful not to spill anything on the computer. this thing was expensive and i wouldn't want to damage it!

It's one of those habits I can't break. I never did spill stuff but I often leave crumbs behind which prompted me to occasionally clean the computer area.

yeah X2. i love to eat while I'm on the computer.sometimes i spill stuff and i have no power to clean that. my sister hate see those stuff all over the keybored she clean the dirty and im happy with that :)

Good morning Whittby:)) yes indeed my friend I have had numerous accidents at my desk here. By far the worst one was when I spilled a whole bowl of campbells chicken and stars soup all over my keyboard and desk. Man you just have no idea how many stars are in a can until you are trying to clean it up. There has been coffee spills, baby puke, and once a slice of pizza hit cheese side down. My computer tower and other peripherals are well protected, it's usually my keyboard taking the hits. Its a good thing I work in a computer shop as I go through about 5 keyboards a year.

Yes, I have had more than one accident spilling something on my computer. I grit my teeth when I have done that and swear that I will never have drinks near my computer again. But since I like to drink water a lot I end up still bring water to the computer while I am on there. Most time I don't have food here though. I generally am busy typing so I really don't have time to eat anything though. Only once when I spilled something on my keyboard did I have to replace it. I am very careful now. Of course the only thing I drink is water especially while I am on the computer.

Oh ya! I think everyone that has a computer probably does. I'm drinkin coffee, right now next to it. Hopefully I won't have too many miss happs! Have a good day you! :O)

I don't eat but I will drink once in a while. Luckily I haven't had any accidents with spilling my drink on it.

My husband and I only have laptops. While we have a desk we keep these on we try to keep the drinks as far away as we can. Our cats like to jump up there sometimes. We never keep cups full of drinks so a little jolt won't spill it and caps are always kept on bottled water. With laptops, we can't afford to spill any drinks on it. If we ruin our keyboard it sort of ruins the whole computer if you know what I mean. We have been lucky so far and I hope this question doesn't jinx us lol. We will snack around the computers but the large and messy meals are done farther away. We try to keep our computers food and spill free.
