Computer screens, Touching
When helping library patrons with computer-related problems, be sure to touch your finger to their computer screens. This is especially important when patrons are using their own laptops. The greasy fingerprints you leave on their screens will serve as reminders of "where to click" once they leave and are no longer within reach of your pointing extremities.

I lick the oil off my finger before touching the screen.
I have this issue with my coworkers; some cannot stand to see a pristine monitor. Even though I can see what they are talking about and I am set to click, they still insist on trying to push their greasy index figure through the monitor. ARGH!
Don’t you love it when you try to show a patron how to use a library resource (because they claim to be computer illiterate) and they tap the monitor to show you where to type?
Awesome! I hate when patrons touch my screen...YUCKO! Then I have to wipe off their potato chip eating finger prints once they have walked away. Good way to get them back! Ha ha!
That's where fresh moist towelettes really come in handy!
You are funny! But I guess you knew that already.
BTW I'm a librarian too.:)
Yet another thing that makes me Woeful.
How many fresh towelettes does it take to choke a co-worker?
