I came home from the bar, got some food, and a big ole glass of milk, which is good stuff, and spilled it all over my computers, tv remote, kb’s, everywhere, I am pissed!
Judging by the number of people who have apparently sprayed every component of their computer with a variety of beverages in the course of reading mildly amusing posts, I’d assume you have nothing to worry about…
You think you’re a moron? On my way to class today, I arbitrarily decided that Newton’s laws of motion just didn’t apply to me. Because, if I had, I wouldn’t have taken the lid off a full cup of coffee at a stop light, held it over my lap, and then accelerated when the light turned green, thus spilling scalding hot coffee all over my lap. Oh, and I had to keep holding onto it as it burned its way through my skin on my hands while I desperately tried to pull over to the side of the road. Stopping invoked Newton’s laws yet again and, in total, I lost a good third of my coffee to my seat, my pants, and my hands.
Well, THAT’s something you don’t see on billboards every day!
I once had to bring my laptop in for service after dropping a piece of Oreo cookie under the keys. They had to pick the keyboard up and off and dig Oreo out of everywhere. New rule:
No eating or drinking while computing!
(Yeah, that lasted about an hour!)
Only if it was hot enough to cause physical damage (like scalds), and then you can say the warranty of fitness for a particular purpose (ie, drinking) had been breached. After all, if it scalds your thigh, imagine what it would do to your mouth! :eek: (Yes, that’s what happened in the McDonald’s case. The woman had every right to sue. After all, why should we have to expect that our drinks, even the hot ones, will come to us hot enough to physically hurt us?)
Speaking of things spilled on keyboards, my dad (a doctor) had an assistant spill a urine sample all over her keyboard. It still worked, but no one wanted to use it (wonder why?). Ick.
Unless of course you’re buying sunglasses. In which case there is a direct correlation between the price and the speed in which you either crush them, or lose them.
