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

I'll skip that level

Can confirm

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

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

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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months 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.

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

No no I’ve got it!

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.
