35 Hilarious Tweets That Show What People Learned About Their Partners While Working From Home

I deliberately bought a loud mechanical keyboard so it makes sound, because I work for a call center and use a sound suppressing microphone, so when I'm typing on a regular keyboard, customers think the call dropped, and I'm not good at typing and talking at the same time. The loud keyboard makes sure they know in still there without having to speak!

When I was in the office in the before-time, I had this guy come by and ask me "Are you... angry at your keyboard?" We used to sit next to eachother, and I guess even after I moved across the office, he could still hear me typing, lolol

I have, and I didn't care because there was nothing I could do about it. How I type is second-nature, and if my workplace doesn't provide a quiet keyboard, I'm not paying for one. Typing is one of those workplace sounds people need to get used to. They can buy noise canceling headphones if it bothers them that much.

Me! Whenever I'm writing around my best friend she'll go "Are you trying to kill the keyboard or something? Chill out."

I once had a co-worker tell me I typed "too loud and too fast" haha

*raises hand*

It's how I hit the space bar more than anything

Only of ‘really very fast typing’ by my 9-year old. She sounded jealous…..

I had a roommate for a couple months (not common for adults to have roommates where I live). She once told me that the sound of my typing lulled her to sleep. We were in seperate rooms, with proper thick (concrete) walls between, she on the far end of her room, me on the far end of my room around the corner. I guess I'm a noisy typer too

Yep, because I learned on a manual typewriter WAAAAY back when in the 80s. It doesn't help that even typing that way, many times the keyboard does not seem to acknowledge some keystrokes, resulting in some interesting typos. But that's another subject altogether!

My daughter sounds like she is angry with her keyboard

I'm a noisy typist. I think I secretly like the frantic clacking of keys so I subconsciously hammer them. I have to really focus to type quietly.

Yes and then he says “Oh, are you tapping into the mainframe?” Lol

"Aggressive typing" here. Seems I'm angry-writing code 😅

I have a satisfying keyboard that makes a lot of clicking noise and I think I'm driving my cat insane

My step mother used to nag my sister and I for doing this. She wasn't very nice.

Many, many times. But I also type really fast, I don't have time for controlling finger strikes!

Yes me, when I have to call one of our contacts she always know its me before I say anything if I am typing when she answers.

My husband too! He specifically sourced a keyboard that is louder, because it gives him a better tactile response when pressed. I can easily tell when he's getting upset with someone! 😂

My brother and I learned to type on a cast iron typewriter, so when he had to use a computer at work, his coworkers thought he was going to destroy the keyboard.

Yes! When I was a teenager my dad said he'd fall asleep to me pecking away at the keyboard then wake up to the same thing. I did finally get a handle on my internet addiction

Get a different keyboard.

I found an article comparing them, though it leaves out some varieties. Cherry MX Brown should work for you. https://www.keyboardco.com/blog/index.php/2012/12/an-introduction-to-cherry-mx-mechanical-switches/

Look into Cherry MX keys. They have different options for how loud/quiet and resistant/fast to make your keys. You can buy the quietest Cherry MX model. Or, you know, the complainer can buy them for you.

Yes

I'm a loud typer, but there are different degrees of loudness in typing/keyboards. Regular typing on a "soft" keyboard can be heard, but it's just background noise. Then there's regular typing on a louder keyboard. Some just make more noise than others. I can type quietly, sort of. Or in a normal way, that's a bit louder. Or really fast, louder still. Or when agitated I really hit the keys. Not slamming, but there's a big difference. So different keyboards and different ways of typing make all sorts of noise combinations. Not saying anyone should type without noise, but loud typing on a loud keyboard is definitely a bother (coming from someone who typs loud on a loud keyboard)
