Let out a little scream like a madman, "aaaahhh! no touch screen!" Silliness works. Or my favorite: "Touching my computer is like touching my penis. Seriousl

  I don't think your favorite line will work if it's a female co-worker though !
  • lucraft 17y ago
    Well, she's certainly not going to touch your screen again.

  That is definitly one to remember. And it is actually good advice, making a joke out of it will make the other person feel less bad.

    Unless they keep touching the screen. Then it could get awkward.
    • nudded 17y ago
      As long as your laptop doesn't increase in size, you should not worry

      Just up the ante. Scream like a madman, do a rain dance. Silly scales.

  In my opinion comedy only works in situations like these if you're also a bit silly/comic in other situations. Otherwise it's obvious that you're just using it to try to diffuse the confrontation and it doesn't work.
  • rjurney 17y ago
    True. I'm silly most of the time.

  Ok, if someone used your favorite line on me it would provoke an entire hand rubbing across the screen, but then I'm a bit of a real life troll. :-)
  • rjurney 17y ago
    See: rain dance.
  • shard 17y ago
    I don't think what you would have done would be trolling, it'd be making a pass at him.

  Take out a piece of clear tape, put it where they touched the screen, take it off and put it on a blank piece of paper, then write their name and the finger they used on the paper. If they ask say it's "for my records."

  Or if they're wearing glasses touch those with your greasy fingers. They'll get the hint.
