She then called home office to try to get us in trouble for discriminating against her when he wouldn’t order me to fix the computer.

Quoth PepperElf View PostBut of course... MOST (if not all) computer repair stores discriminate against... people who piss on their computers.Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

Quoth wolfie View PostDidn't say if it was human urine or not - could have been the cat (or rabbit). If computer places won't work on a pissed-on machine, how are you supposed to get it fixed (or at least recover the data) if the cat decides it should be the only "laptop" in the house?

Another theory states that this has already happened.

hmm. never thought about an animal peeing on it. but still... yeah most places "discriminate" against customers with urine-contaminated electronics.
not really sure how you "sanitize" for that either. It's not as if you can drop it in the wash. Maybe alcohol, but even then I wouldn't guarantee the contents of the drive. and when I looked up how to clean a drive it's all about erasing them, not actually ... cleaning them from debris.Last edited by PepperElf; 04-25-2013, 05:44 PM.

Well... there is that solution too.
oh and what a jerk: http://notalwaysworking.com/running-...-harrier/29757
I'd like to see how fast the employee learned Chinese if he/she went to China to live. I'd bet they'd have just as much (if not more) trouble learning it.

I use to have one in silver too. It fell off my hand and was lost. ... bit ironic that.

actually, assuming the HD is disconnected from power, you CAN generally use water on it- for example, you can actually put keyboards through a dishwasher w/o ruining them.So you should be able to use soap and water on a computer to clean off urine without ruining the computer.

um... i personally wouldn't put my faith in that.
if it's not completely dry when you reconnect then it'll not work. plus, you don't know if the water is leaving behind any trace elements that will eventually corrode electronics.
not to mention the urine has possibly already done permanent damage anyway, especially if it was on when it was peed on
for cleaning keyboards themselves i've always done the .mil version - unplug them, clean them off with a qtip* & isopropyl alcohol, and then let them completely dry before reinserting.
*well not really a qtip, more like a "cotton tipped applicator" which usually has a 6-inch shaft (less flexible, better for scrubbing), and can be purchased for much cheaper than the ones we jam into our earsLast edited by PepperElf; 04-28-2013, 01:16 PM.

I'm not sure I'd want to know what a "sausage milk" would be anyway. Cos I have some ideas and they're very NSFW
Although it does remind me of issues I use to always get when ordering a salad at a certain sandwich store. I don't know if it was my voice (it can be quiet) or the workers but... I swear sometimes I had to say "SAL-AD" and point at the lettuce before people realized I didn't want a sandwich.

and an old unfiltered one i couldn't help comment on...
LW goes on about how the cashier couldn't figure out that 20-13=7.... while making frequent spelling & grammar mistakes. Bit ironic, that.

This one reminds me of my mother actually. When she was growing up, the librarian would do this to her, especially when it came to adult-level books. So when I was growing up she would let me read what I wanted. And, according to Mom, if the librarian looked at her as if to say, "This is ok?" she'd just nod.Last edited by PepperElf; 05-02-2013, 01:17 AM.

This one's actually a fail. The author goes on about how the employee kept saying "we outta eggs" when asking for "eggplant parmesan sandwich"
except... from every recipe i've looked at so far, eggplant parmesan does have egg in it too. So the employee might have been correct after all.
