i mildly digress)

i noticed alot of cats working on their laptops-how do you manage toilet time?????

wait, what's the question?

I think the question is: what do you do with your laptop when you using it in a public place and you have to go to the bathroom?

Do you take it with you or leave it on the table?


I really don't know. It would depend on the situation.

Anxiety said:

well.....if your working FROM your laptop and you need to do poos and wee's presumably you could get your laptop nicked so do you pack it up or do you have like a community laptop watch

i mean if i was a thief id be watching for cats whom are working on their laptops drinking coffee waiting for their ineviatable poo break... then BOOMPH nick their laptop

its worries me

OH.

I take that shit with me. I don't care if it makes me look like I'm paranoid and untrusting. I *am* paranoid and untrusting!

Plus if the wireless service is good enough, you can totally look up porn while you're sitting on the crapper.

Anxiety said:

See....but then you get bathroom germs on your laptop. So do you spray the laptop with an antibacterial cleansing spray or do you just risk getting evil bathroom germs everywhere?

JasmineFire said:

if you're that worried, then you put the laptop back in the laptop case, and then you hang it on a hook on the back of the door in the stall. yeah?

Anxiety said:

But bathroom germs are everywhere! What about the weirdos who pee on the stall door, or wipe their poo covered, menstrual blood stained hands on the door? Do you wash you case afterwards? Wear gloves when handling the case? Use those vile antibacterial hand gels that really do nothing except kill the good bacteria and make the demon bacteria stronger?

This too much for me. I could never work on my laptop in a cafe.

My suggestion...work in a very secure office. Or your house. Or maybe if you hide yor laptop underneath your coat, no one will know it's there.

And always wash your hands after using the bathroom. And use paper towel to turn off the faucet and to open the door.

JasmineFire said:

you can carry dry cleaning bags in your laptop case which you can use as a poop germ condom for your laptop case in these situations, and then you can properly dispose of said laptop case condom afterwards at your nearest hazmat containment facility.

or you could just live in a germ-free safe house and travel in a plastic bubble whenever you have to go into public.

Anxiety said:

that sounds ideal. where do i sign up?


actually, during my preclinical vet school years, I would study all damn day at the school library with my laptop. Whenever I had to use the bathroom,I would leave my laptop there because there were usually at least four other students there and two or three different security guards.

But if I wasn't in the library, I would pack it up and take it with me or hide it under something.

I really hate public bathrooms though. They're almost as bad a spiders.

JasmineFire said:

public bathrooms are vile. when you trust something to the public at large, they'll mess it up for everyone else every time.

the worst is when there are booger smearings all over the walls of a bathroom stall. does that happen in women's room stalls?

Anxiety said:

yes. and sometimes there's blood.


i hate it when someone's gone a bit crazy with the grooming and when you go to wash your hands there's some idiot's long hair all over the sink.

JasmineFire said:

yeah, what if your up for the occasional blow n go,?
What then do you do with your laptop while your getting a bj in the restroom or parking lot?
Its too much to think about.

For the love of God, should this thread not carry A NSFW moniker?

I mean really!

The movie theatre I went to yesterday had the most awesome washrooms! No-touch soap dispensers, no-touch faucets and no door (inner sanctum obscured by curved entranceway). It was heaven.

Orging drunk is SO 2002.

Jony's always dragging behind.

HamsterHuey said:

that was written at 0940 in a cafe.....

You were drunk at 9:40am in a public place??

Just buy one of these, it's like a bike lock for your laptop.




You put a loop around something like the chair arm and your laptop should have a little hole on either side that you lock the cable to.


Problem solved.
