you have fingers on optical glass twice. I would have gone with holding a heavy electrical device by the cord.

Bonus points if it's a charging cord and the device is holding on by the friction in the port!

Spoiler. This is exactly what it’s like having kids.

I'll skip that level

Can confirm

I get that the beverage, camera, and eyeglasses are all a bit exaggerated from stuff that actually happens, but I've been playing guitar for over 20 years and have literally never heard of anyone passing a guitar by holding its strings. That makes no sense even if you're just being lazy, the neck is a much easier place to handle a guitar from.

The guitar one made me physically cringe because it felt the most damaging. The camera and eyeglasses can be cleaned; the orange juice could be thrown out and replaced. I suppose you could restring the guitar but it just feels like there’s a potential for further damage somewhere on the bridge or the other parts I forget the names of.

no, that's my point. it's not even close to something that actually happens.

Touching the shiny side of a DVD/CD/BlueRay disk.

No no I’ve got it!

The only thing worse is when people grab one edge of a disc in the case and just rip it out instead of using the release button in the middle.

It hurts to imagine.

long nails and peeling the film off the label side...

Also anyone who handles a vinyl record by anything other than the edges

I bought a few junk vinyls just because I really like the texture. I was touching one on the tube home and my friend told me later I was causing visible distress to the man opposite.

We get it, you're evil

Last week I asked a friend to pick up a back pack with my laptop in it because I forgot it.

I was happy he did the favor but when he dropped it off, the cord was hanging off, the laptop was hastily stuffed inside and he handed the open bag over like he was handing me a sack of potatoes.

First one hands me my guitar that way goes home with broken fingers

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

That last one is pretty funny.
