My girlfriend is a screen-toucher
- Thread starter Arc
- Start date
I was high af the other day and tried to pinch to zoom a cardboard package.
You literally referenced Seinfeld in your post so you've heard of sarcasm, but can't tell that a guy calling his girlfriend a goddamn animal in a joke thread is not serious.
did you actually say "of my macbook" lol
"darling, please refrain from defiling the liquid retina XDR panel of my 16" macbook pro (late 2021) with your unclean finger"
Just clean your screen? The odd fingerprint now and then isn't something to get bothered about.
A.. A new album? She's never heard the music before and she puts it on shuffle anyway?I was going to make a whole thread about this, but I may as well just post it here. My fiancée leaves shuffle on when listening to a new album...
This is a far graver sin than the one laid out by OP.
Absolutely disgusting. Why? I've always heard of these people but have never met one. It's like watching the dev commentary on a movie the first time around.I was going to make a whole thread about this, but I may as well just post it here.

Or ordering something new at a restaurant and just slathering ketchup on it without even taking a first bite.
This is like taking a brand new tailored suit and then deciding to play basketball in it.
WHY DOES SOMEONE CHOOSE TO DO THIS?
What kind of nightmare girlfriend is this? The sex can't be that good?
Girlfriend fucked up taco night, unsure how to proceed
I've had a cold the past few days and haven't eaten much so my girlfriend offered come over and cook me dinner. She surprises me with taco night, which is my favorite, and oddly enough, we realize that after almost 6 years of dating we've never had a taco night. Anyways I play some videogames...www.resetera.com
My last office had so many women touching LCD monitors with their nails. The monitors were not glass, so you could see the imprint on the actual LCD for 10 seconds or so.
They would come to my PC, ask me to show something, and then press on the screen or tap it with their nails. I would hear the tapping noise, and it was like nails on a chalkboard.

big time. when people touch my screen it totally brings out my LD.
Romantic partners will not learn until you force them to learn. If talking to your partner 1:1 does not solve the issue, you should consider giving your partner a time-out. Rewarding your partner for obliging reasonable requests will also reinforce positive behaviour. I would not recommend utilising a spray bottle, as some partners have a very negative reactions to being sprayed and may learn to distrust you.
At least you brought it up so you're okay in my book. Most people would just internalize that stuff and have it come out in an argument years later.
Forgive her OP, you're probably doing a lot of things that annoy her too, without even realizing it.
My girlfriend is "Put-down-controller"-er.
You know, when you're playing games and for 5-6 seconds when you're not pressing buttons, you put the controller down and then pick it up again.

When people go to touch my monitor, I have a near panic attack as their finger gets in touching distance of the screen. My wife once touched it and I almost freaked. People can point without touching.
This may qualify as subject matter for a Seinfeld episode.
Anyway, just be nice about it, OP. If she does it without realizing it, then continue to just make an effort to politely remind her when she does it. I don't think you're overreacting, per se, but I do think pointing out to her that you can see where she's pointing without her touching the screen was even a bit passive-aggressive. Also, try to preempt her screen touches if you're able to and stop them ahead of time. With enough reminders, I'm sure she'll break the habit.
That said, there's always that possibility that she thinks you being put off by her touching your screens is funny, in which case you're probably doomed to have her touch your screen as a way of having fun with you.

She's out of control, OP. I'd suggest an intervention, but we both know full well she is beyond saving now.

I hit the gym after this, the screen-toucher is my current girlfriend.
I can sympathize. I used to date someone who wasn't just a screen toucher, but she pressed every screen directly with her fingernail.
After many "hey can you please not touch my screen with your nails, you'll damage the screen" "but everyone does that", I would be the one to hold the screen or device if I had to show her anything. And I definitely never let her on my phone or whatever

Like bitching about her on a public message board?
Probably. If she knew.
how does a lover of taco sauce not just have a bottle of taco sauce at the ready?
God I miss this show.
FYI I touch the screen too, it drives my wife insane. Always been a screen toucher.
I regret putting a somewhat serious response because this thread is hilarious and made me laugh several times. Great work everybody
