It's Time To Get Off The Computer!

How does your spouse or significant other let you know that they want you to get off the computer?

My wife comes downstairs - my computer room/shop is in the basement - stands behind me and wraps her arms lovingly around my neck and chest. She starts licking me in the ear, and...

Then I wake up.

No, what she usually does is holler "You coming up ANYTIME SOON????" at the top of the stairs (and her lungs). Or if she's been folding laundry, she loves to fling the empty laundry basket down the stairs. She's developed quite the wrist action that generates maximum basket thumpage as it hits every step on its way down.

Doesn't matter... I still come up when I'm ready.

Your story?

When she hits me with a baseball bat.

I'm single so I stay on as long as I want. Usually till I start falling asleep on my chair.

When she comes in naked. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Mine has now given up asking when I am going to get off the computer!!!

She knows that I will get off it when I am good & ready and she does not control me. I am not spending as much time now on it as I have a lot of other things to do at the moment, such as dig my pond, lay decking down for a patio, finish off my driveway, try and find the money to pay for it all, etc,etc, so now all I get is 'when are you going to finish this lot off then???' <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

mine just "messengers" me to get my a$$ in... then i carry on with windrivers!

Have it worked out to a science.

Just sleep at the keyboard.
That way I dont miss anything on the forums. lol

my gf usually just icq's me from across the room. or she comes and sits on me. <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

I remember the good ol' day's of having a girlfriend who nagged me about stuff like this. But since she's now gone back to her homeland, I won't have to worry about it anymore!!! <<6 misses her though and would give anything for her to come back and nagg a little.>> <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

My wife has the perfect way to get me off when it is bedtime. She starts heading back to the bedroom and says "It's bedtime".

By the time she says "It's" I am half way back there, already stripping. Half the time she finishes what she is saying by saying something like...
"It's cold tonight"
"It's time to brush my teeth"

You can spank the monkey THAT fast???

From Tazs Wife again =)
Yup I found its a challenge that I am mastering to getting him off the computer when I want .. (wait) no its not . I know exactly how to get him off the computer. Funny thing is when will it stop working LOL
Were still honey mooners..
Sooooo We'll see Tee Hee =)
actully its kinda cute. I'll say goodbye and he's like "Where ya going" "Can I go to "
and yes when its bed time I just say Im going to bed now if your not back here by the time im in bed im going right to sleep.
And that usually gets him up and checking to make sure the door is locked and brushing his teeth and hoping into bed before me . LOL He knows I will fall asleep faster then he can say "Baby are you awake" LOL

I have the luxury of the computer being in the bedroom.
I'm only nagged to come down and watch EastEnders with her (Have you fellas in the states got this on your telly yet).
Funny thing is I do the reverse when the Simpsons are on.
I think that one day I will invest in a 20m coax cable and a TV card.

I usually time my Computer time - because it can Disconnect you from the rest of the world
(physical - Not Virtual).

The wife usually send my little daughter in to the computer room to get me. She's only three and is my princess, how could i refuse. <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

My girlfriend will come over and sit on my lap and just totally go limp. I have to struggle to keep her from falling on the floor. She will keep on doing this until I surrender and watch T.V. with her. This is better than her saying "You never pay attention to me" the last time she said that I let her fall on the floor. Needless to say I haven't ever done that again <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0"> .

Yeah but it's two years behind unless you watch it on BBCWORLD, and we don't hve that in Philly yet. I have to watch eastenders at 12:00 on sunday nights after red dwalf and blackadder on public supported tv.

my wife will usually just give me "the look". All you married fellas know the look.

The way I know that my wife wants me off the computer is the apartment gets really, really quiet. Normally she will talk to me constantly, asking questions, telling me about her day, etc. But when she gets quiet I know that she's annoyed that I'm not appearing to listen to her. Either that or "the look" that Sandman was talking about.

I don't have this problem. It's time for me to get off the computer about 3:30 or 4 ish every monday through friday. That is when I leave work. We are moving into a new house shortly and I want to sell my home PC, but the wife won't let me. She needs to check her e-mail. I personally never touch the thing. wierd, huh?

LOL! I see it alot!

Can't see the look, so that doesn't bother me at the computer. 'The Tone' on the other hand........

Dead silence in the apartment or a gentle request for my daughter to go play downstairs is the deadliest hint that I've ever gotten. Is it the fact that I'm male that subtle 'hints' don't get processed as such.

Me: Honey did you know your eye was twitching.
Her: Did you know you're a moron?
Me: What gave you that impression?
Her: I got cold waiting in a towel

My wife usually stays up later than I do. She has her own desk and computer too. Heck I say goodnight to the back of her heard more than I care to mention here, go figure.
