AIBU to lick my iPad?

[SayCoolNowSayWhip]

Apparently you can scroll with your tongue. Who knew?!

Can you type with your tongue?

I'd rather not.

Can only imagine the bacteria lurking on my screen.

I did once when I got salted caramel sauce on it.

Don't worry, it'll be cancelled out by all the bacteria on your tongue

Welsh, did you manage to get it all off?

Yuk! Why ask and yuk?

I did when I got ice cream on it. I did it very carefully as it had a cracked screen! I'm not one to waste ice cream...

Sorry it was on another thread which got a bit hijacked from its serious origins.

I thought I'd create a little haven of touchscreen lickers that wouldn't offend anyone.

I did indeed.

I wonder if it's just Apple products or if Android users can get in on the licking action too.

Android here. I was the first to confess about licking.

First time I licked and it did not work. cannot remember the website I was on though.

however I am pleasantly surprised that the screen did scroll for me while I licked while using mn.

maybe its just certain apps.

mumsnet has no shame and therefore allows licking.

Yep, my hudl is android and I can scroll with my tongue
Can also type but the screen comes too close to be able to see the letters.

But why? Why would you do that? Thinking about it, I suppose if you were unable to use your hands, but outside that possibility - why?????

I am so not telling my son about this.

I dunno about licking the bloody screen, but I shall be smashing it with a hammer if MNHQ don't sort out this flippin problem,
Every time I change a page MN closes down, sooooo frustrating!!
Apparently it's a thing and they are sorting it

Yes my 11 month old DD has demonstrated this to me almost ruined my game of the Sims.

ach, it's like nose - picking. ..everyone does it

Have you come here to lick in peace

YANBU. I leaned something useful in case of any diminished arm use situations AND I now have a lovely clean screen and possibly botulism

sometimes I breathe on my phone screen then smell it to check my breath.

I wish there was an app for breath checking.

I also feel I am looking oversharing today.

does everyone do this after a recent name change?

Good skills, HighwayDragon, good skills.

Goady, on MN there is no such thing as over share...

That's possibly the weirdest thing I've done today. So far anyway.
