Zanthor, Smokers machines are the worst.... we get them ALOT.. i have a fan that blows the shit the other way from me... and i show them the brown gunk in their machine and try to tell them thats whats in their lungs and they don't give a fuck.. i don't understand smokers
Years ago, I used to work at the computer tech bench at Best Buy, and we had some disgusting machines in there. I always wore latex gloves while working on those shitboxes. I swear I must have seen it all - dead ants and roaches, cigarette tar, dust bunnies the size of softballs, melted chocolate, liquor, and other various semi-liquids in keyboards, a case that was *covered* in boogers.. but these two boxes stand out the most:

- The dead rat that was smoldering while caught in the top of the CPU heatsink, and the 1/4 inch layer of marijuana tar that covered every inch of the inside of the case. In case you haven't seen it, pot tar is much thicker, stickier, and funkier than cigarette tar.. and some people think it's not as bad as cigarettes for their health. Heavily cigarette-smoked machines are bad enough, but heavily pot-smoked machines are actually much worse to deal with.

(I love the girls who bring in their laptop, expecting a full repair/replacement after dumping half a liter of coffee/liquor into their keyboard. Yeah, manufacturers will be happy to accept a loss on your carelessness/stupidity. Then they bitch about purchasing an extended warranty, which clearly states that liquid damage isn't covered.)

Thankfully, I'll never have to work another 'customer service' tech job.. there are far too many stupid people to deal with.
