My Keyboard is Possessed

Possessed Keyboard | RWA People Recruitment“A call comes in, a user reports her keyboard is going erratic. She says it is “possessed.” I take a stroll down to the office bearing a new replacement keyboard.

I get there and begin to make sure that it is indeed a faulty keyboard, and not just some gunk sticking the key down. I open up Notepad and immediately I am barraged by “…nnnnnnn…” Everything seems fine otherwise, this keyboard is the same model as the replacement I brought over, relatively new, no sticky keys either. Very well a faulty keyboard it is. Until….

…Until I move the tower and notice a second, wireless keyboard sitting on the side of it, lying flat on the floor, with a stack of papers and a tissue box sitting atop. I pull it out and notice the n barrage has stopped on the screen. I press the N key once again and an N is added to the Word file.

The exorcism was performed, the demons were banished, and I’m now priest.”
