you have fingers on optical glass twice. I would have gone with holding a heavy electrical device by the cord.

[-] Linktank@lemmy.today 54 points 3 weeks ago

Bonus points if it's a charging cord and the device is holding on by the friction in the port!

[-] ImperialATAT@lemmy.world 54 points 3 weeks ago

Spoiler. This is exactly what it’s like having kids.

[-] gregor@gregtech.eu 13 points 3 weeks ago

I'll skip that level

Can confirm

I get that the beverage, camera, and eyeglasses are all a bit exaggerated from stuff that actually happens, but I've been playing guitar for over 20 years and have literally never heard of anyone passing a guitar by holding its strings. That makes no sense even if you're just being lazy, the neck is a much easier place to handle a guitar from.

The guitar one made me physically cringe because it felt the most damaging. The camera and eyeglasses can be cleaned; the orange juice could be thrown out and replaced. I suppose you could restring the guitar but it just feels like there’s a potential for further damage somewhere on the bridge or the other parts I forget the names of.

[-] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

no, that's my point. it's not even close to something that actually happens.

Touching the shiny side of a DVD/CD/BlueRay disk.

No no I’ve got it!

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 13 points 3 weeks ago

The only thing worse is when people grab one edge of a disc in the case and just rip it out instead of using the release button in the middle.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 6 points 3 weeks ago

It hurts to imagine.

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

long nails and peeling the film off the label side...

[-] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 3 weeks ago

We get it, you're evil

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 15 points 3 weeks ago

Also anyone who handles a vinyl record by anything other than the edges

[-] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 weeks ago

I bought a few junk vinyls just because I really like the texture. I was touching one on the tube home and my friend told me later I was causing visible distress to the man opposite.

Last week I asked a friend to pick up a back pack with my laptop in it because I forgot it.

I was happy he did the favor but when he dropped it off, the cord was hanging off, the laptop was hastily stuffed inside and he handed the open bag over like he was handing me a sack of potatoes.

[-] velox_vulnus@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 weeks ago

The guitar hole seems big enough for a porta-potty.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago

The strings slice it up for better packing

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

You taking that shit on a plane?

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I try to not take a shit on planes, my knees hit the door

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

One time one of my friends got wasted and pissed in the hole of my guitar. True story. It was leaned on the wall and he awoke in a drunken stupor and thought it was the toilet. Miraculous part was how he managed to get most of the piss directly in the hole while simultaneously being drunk enough to confuse it for a toilet.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 weeks ago

First one hands me my guitar that way goes home with broken fingers

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

That last one is pretty funny.
