Does anyone else hate it when a coworker touches your mouse?

Project manager over at my desk. Wants show me something so he starts telling me how to migrate to it on the screen. I lift my hand off the mouse for a half second to hit a key, he grabs the mouse and starts moving the cursor around and clicking.
DRIVES ME NUTS. I wanted to sock him in the throat.
I also get extremely irritated when someone is pointing at something on my screen and has to actually touch the screen.
Maybe a "cool story bro" but I wondered if it irritates others.

Is that a euphemism for repressed issues? NTTIAWWT

Everyone I work with points to and touches my screen on a regular basis. I constantly remind them not to, but its a terrible habit most people have. Would probably smack their hand away if they grabbed my mouse without asking though.

The actual touching of the monitor is more annoying, when you can see the colors on the screen change because of finger pressure on said monitor. Especially when it's my computer.

My boss touches my screen all the time. She is completely unaware of what an idiot she is.

I'd have to say something. Not about being an idiot but about touching my screen.

She told me to remove the words "reticent" and "beleaguered" from a report I wrote because she didn't know what they meant.

I would have told her she was being veraciously obtuse.

It doesn't bother me a bit but whenever I'm about to touch somebody else's mouse I always ask if it's OK before I grab it.

People touching my monitor is one of my biggest pet peeves in life. Seriously, who the hell thinks that's okay? II seriously might just by a laser pointer to put next to my computer so people can point shit out using that.

Mouse doesn't really bother me, but like others I hate it when people touch the screen. It's too hard to get those greasy fingerprints off.

this is me 100%.....i used to get irritated by the littlest things with my peers and then i realized to just give it up. Its not worth it in the long run.
Nowadays I just sit in the background and offer advice when asked and then when it comes time to be da superstar I try and step in. (namely in front of boss or the boss' boss)

clearly 288...Your project manager thinks there is implied mouse takeover when s/he is showing you something.
