Things you wish you could say

If this is a standard keyboard with nothing fancy, throw it in the sink, rinse it out really well, maybe use a scrub brush to really get the crumbs and dust out then let it dry completely (up to three days to really dry). I've even known tech to throw them in the dishwasher.

This is a common problem with a certain keyboard. It is due to a build up of static electricity inside the case. Just opening up the case can temporarily disperse the static electricity. Others have found that a good jolt onto the desk can also dissipate the static electricity but one must be careful because that is also a way to really break the keyboard.

RIP. Bless your poor keyboards soul.

Thank you! It was actually the keyboard on my laptop, so the sink probably wasn't an option. I'm a germaphobe so I tend to clean electronics a lot with wet wipes. Usually it was fine, but I guess this time I managed to get moisture inside. At least the computer is fine, lol.
AND I just received my new plug-in keyboard which is really cool and lit up in rainbow colors right now. Feels exceptionally nice to type on. Yipee!

I do not have to go to the memorial service of a friend.

So sorry!

You got what you deserved for being a d****e canoe.

Backstory. There's a guy who's a regular at my wife's Costco who is verbally abusive to female members of staff and refuses to show his membership card at the door (which is required for entry). Yesterday he did it to my wife as usual, while she was standing talking with the shift manager (also female). Manager promptly got involved and the member got into a very loud and dramatic verbal altercation with her, resulting in the security goons escorting him to his vehicle and him being permanently banned from Costco nationwide.

Make poor decisions because you don't think the rules should apply to you, win stupid prizes. Your membership is a privilege, not a right, and it does not entitle you to abuse the staff.
