Do you eat at your computers ?

I eat at the computer even at work because there is no where to eat. What I do though is to put the keyboard aside so that no crumbs don't fall in between. With the laptop which is what I used at home I differently have to put that aside before I can eat. Happy New Year Kerry

I eat sweets and eat fruit.nearly had a bad experience with a bowl of noodles the other day.cheese on toast is nice you cannot spill that.I have been really good and cleaned my key board with damp cotton buds and a dry tea cloth.

I do eat at the computer on occasion. It's just a matter of remembering to put away my dishes when I'm done.

Hi there, I know its bad, unhealthy, unhygienic etc, but I admit to sometimes having lunch at my computer. Not so much these days but I used to do so quite often before as it does make life a little easier. I am sure that it is better for us in so many ways to take a proper break when eating.

I normally try to avoid eating when I am working on the computer, but sometimes it happens that laziness overcomes me and I eat sitting close to my computer. No eatables should be spilled on or near the computer as then, there is an army of ants ready to take on the challange of moving through the delicate parts of the computer and retrieving those minute pieces of spilled food. Often naked eye misses those food particles that are spilled but are spotted very efficiently by ants.

i dont usually eat at my computer i usually just eat at a table, i eat near the computer sometimes but not usually.

I do that all the time. If I do not eat in front of my computer I do not know where else can I have my meal? I am alone here and eat alone too. Computer is my best companion. :) Cheers.

Yes, I don't only eat at my computer, but drink too and I already ruined a computer doing that! Crumbs also fall between the keys and who knows what other junk one might be able to find in there! I have a new computer now and my 2009 year resolution is to be more careful with my computer!

I always do that, eating in front of my computer. I know that should be avoided but sometimes, I'm really hungry and I can't leave my PC because I have a lot of work to be done. I'm just careful not to spill anything though.

I eat at my computer but not while I'm using it. Normally I'm watching a movie/podcast or listening to something while I eat so I don't get the keyboard dirty. I also clean the keyboard regularly (use a screwdriver and pop out all the keys, put them in a bag with soap, wash them, and pop them back in).

hi ronnyb...i have had some chocolate or drunk pop while using the computer. it's my time and my computer.

Sometimes I'd eat at my computer, in that I can do my work at the same time. I would often eat a banana or a sandwich with a glass of milk or a glass of water.

I am eating a toasted sausage sandwich with steamed spinach and a glass of milk as I type this, having a late night snack before I go to bed. I usually try to multi-task if I can and eating in front of the computer is the norm. I try to make sure I concentrate on the food and drink though as I like to enjoy it while I have it. I have destroyed at least two keyboards by dumping liquids in them and I am very careful but accidents do happen. I was going to buy one of those flexible silicone keyboards that are good to like 10 feet underwater but I missed the sale the day they were on sale. I do not know what I would be doing 10 feet underwater with my keyboard anyways unless I had already drowned. I guess when they dragged up my body they would at least get a bonus invincible keyboard as a prize.

Normally I do eat in front of my computer when I have my breakfast. Its a routine for me to read email / news in the morning. So I have to have my meal while surfing or check my email or else I don't have much time because I only have I one and a half hour before I go to work.

Hi There! Yes, I always eat in front of my computer when I am in the office because there are times that I cannot get up because we need to finish a lot of work so I ended up eating in front of the computer while working… It is really fine with me… I prefer it lolz… FOr me, t here is nothing wrong with it as long as you know how to maintain cleanliness on your station and to yourself... I always make sure that the food I will eat is not that messy to eat on my workstation as well as it will not really smell food... because I might distract others who are hungry too... lolz... hehehehe Goodluck! Thanks for the discussion! Happy New Year and Happy HOlidays! Cheers!

guilty as charged.. at times, i'm busy watching my dramas online but my wretched stomach has to growl. so what i'd do is whip up instant noodles, settle right back into my seat and stay glued to the screen whilst eating. It's a bad habit and not good for digestion.. but.... i'd promise to eat slowly the next time *blink blink*

You bet I do. I have an Amore computer desk, so my tower is cover up and free from potential damage. The part of my computer that is in the most danger is my keyboard. Funny, I teach my kids that it is not good to eat or drink around computers, but I have been showing them the wrong example. I even eat at my desk at work. Not a big heavy meal, but like snacks or cereal bars. But I had a bad habit of drinking coffee at my desk at work. I've eventually started drinking coffee at home as well.

wow i spend most of my time on computer i sometimes have my breakfast, lunch and even dinner with my computer, but i see that i dont spill anything around, i like to keep my computer clean.......

hi, yeah, you are right... sometimes its just unavoidable... but, its not good as if by mistake u spill some, it may damage your PC... tc...
