Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Slog Poll: Guess the Disgusting Keyboard!
Posted by Cienna Madrid on Fri, Jul 27, 2012 at 1:45 PM
I'm not in the best position to cast stones, point talons, etc. on the issue of office cleanliness since it's pretty well established that I'm a disgusting freak, but I've been bitching at one of my coworkers to clean his or her keyboard for years now.
I think this damning evidence will prove that there's at least one person in this office is more of a wallow-happy pig than I am:
- The Shtranger
- Someone chews with their mouth open.
If you're not convinced yet, I've included two more pics after the jump. And since I've learned first hand that public shaming is a great motivator, I think it's time for a Slog poll to see if you can guess who needs to clean their goddamn keyboard already.
- The Shtranger
- Seriously, there must be an entire village of rats living in here.
- The Shtranger Extreme Ewwwww.

I like how PAUL is highlighted, so he's a red herring. Goldy has been there the second shortest, so he's probably out. I say Dan Savage as a write-in.

Mudede. The keyboard crap represents the eternal stuggle of the neo-proletariat against the racially metaphoric post-liberal capitalists, or some nonsense that translates to "I'm too important to deal with it."

Gotta be Mudede, even if it's not. Disgusting keyboards are part of the urban marxist utopia he loves to navel-gaze about.

The important question: Does the keyboard owner drink coffee off this keyboard?
You guys should have known better than to have Cookie Monster intern for you.

Somebody who doesn't wanna use a keyboard condom, which makes me wonder about that person's other ...habits.

I buy keyboards, not for their style, but their ability to pop out the keys, so I can wash them once or twice a year with a little bleach water.
Mac users are gross.

Wait, Charles is already on the poll. Apparently I'm blind.
Also, Allyn is right. Your office is filthy. You people need to show us pictures of the pretty parts that aren't caked with grease and mold and ancient cupcakes sometime, we might start to get the wrong idea.

Damn that is pretty grody...though I recently had to clean my apartment after moving, and you don't realize how bad & disgusting the little impossible to reach nooks and crannies that you normally don't clean can get.
15
If you can find someone there whose keyboard doesn't look like that, you should post a pic and a do a new poll.
17
Who was the one who had the disgusting coffee cup a while back? Jen Graves? My vote's on whoever that person is.
19
Repulsive. When's the last time we've learned something pleasant about the state of the Stranger's headquarters from one of these polls?

Next Slog poll: Which fancy-ass Slog staffer bathes regularly?
Which Slog staffer brushes his/her teeth?
Which Slog staffer hasn't worn the same rancid pair of jeans every day since college?

Utterly gross.
One time at University I spent an about an hour or less cleaning a computer lab keyboard instead of doing my graphic design work. It wasn't gross like this it was just dirty.

@19,
Didn't we learn the coffee likely had some serious penicillin-like anti-bacterial components to it?

Holy puke-worthy, Batman...
From what I've seen, you have a major heath risk problem there in your office.

Those imac keyboards are disgusting petri dishes. Can they be washed in a dishwasher? Do an experiment and let us know.

Given Apple's emphasis on "user experience" it frankly amazes me that their keyboards are such dirt-traps. Both of my parents' Apple keyboards are disgusting things that no one knows how to clean, whereas my old-school keyboard looks fine with only occasional wiping.

The lifeless keyboard had been transformed, and and is now teaming with vibrancy and life in a million specs and splashes of beautiful brown. Bacteria and fungi build cities more remarkable than any by man.
It has to be Charles.
It has to be Charles.
