# had a client who while going over some edits, once leant right over my shoulder
and asking me to move a symbol, said "Right about here" at the same time as he scribbled a little blue dot on my screen with a biro....... Upon taking him to task on this, he said he did it on his own screen all the time?

# I get fkers not only wipe their fingers on my VERY expensive screens
but also point with a biro and then drag said biro across my screen leaving a nice blue line. Thanks for that, its only these screens being amazing that allow me to do my job properly.

# I did that to my own screen with a permanent marker :(
Top tip! A small amount of normal toothpaste applied gently with a cotton bud removes it almost instantly*

*and leaves your screen minty-fresh

# That could leave little scratches in the screen
Some good alcohol based screen cleaner will remove permanent ink without damaging shiny screens.

# It could, but doesn't
As you need so little of it and there is no scrubbing involved, just gentle stroking.

# I'm not sure how you could manage to accidentally scribble on your screen with a permanent marker
but then I once accidentally sucked on a plugged-in kettle lead, so fair enough.

# Ha ha ha!
I did something not wholly dissimilar the other week. I was sat poking a pen into a gang plug socket for 10 minutes before I realised what I was doing.
