...so my tabbed key popped off in the middle of a League of Legends game, and I was holding it in my left hand to prevent it from being knocked on the floor. I died and I started leaning on my elbow and I can't remember what, but something made me start laughing which caused me to inhale... so it went down my throat.
This is not a joke, it just happened.
TL;DR I ate my tab key on my keyboard, what do?

Fist it out of your colon

How the hell do you inhale a Tab Key?
I guess that's why your name is theunluckiest.
TAB KEY KICKED IN YO'

LEGITBALLIN!
What's next? Poop on the keyboard then eat the keycaps?

LEGITBALLIN!
o..mg... just when I thought he is gone for good, we got another one...
OK OP... here is my attempting to be serious about it answer to you:
assuming you it will go through your digest system smoothly... your anus is gonna hurt and probably bleed... but you should be able to retrieve it the next time you poop. If you can't find it in the pile of ur crap, you better head to the doc ASAP.

I think you need to ask the man who started this thread: http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?25632-How-do-i-get-feces-out-of-my-keyboard-(story-inside)&highlight=feces
He seems to have a firm grasp on the resolution of your dilemma.
-
I don't understand the sequence of events which lead to the key going down your throat. Anyway, you should be fine. You may consider going for a world record. http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2012/02/this-girls-eaten-her-weight-in-plastic/.
You may experience pain quite like '1 guy 1 jar'.

There are several unlikely propositions here. Firstly, how does a tab key spontaneously fly off? Further, how does one inhale a tab key without it blocking their airways? In the very unlikely event that this actually took place, I'd probably pay a visit to my nearest emergency room and obtain an X-ray / consultation.

So now your keyboard is TKL ?
Tab KeyLess !
-
I guess you're not going to Alt+Tab out of your match next time..
Next target = win-key
-
We need to think bigger for next time. How bout a Enter key, or even a spacebar?
-
Spacebar would make an excellent poop I would say
-
That's why we can't have nice things!

Here's why I don't believe this story at all. If the story really happened, the OP would have gone to the hospital instead of coming here to ask for advice.

What if he thinks we know best what to do because some of us accidentaly or less accidentaly have gulped any key?

Reminds me of this one thread on /b/...Some guy talking about a bleeding anus. Then /b/ told him the correct thing to do medically.
Which reminds me. OP, if you have any doubts/worries/fears, just do a barrel roll. It solves everything.

It really happened, I really don't care if you believe it or not.

You're entitled to believe whatever you want to believe. That does not necessarily mean that you are right. That does not necessarily mean that I am right either.
-

Well, why aren't you at the hospital?

Just realized its your second post. Something is fishy here...
Also, maybe you should lube up for your next bowel movement.

That you don't care about my opinion is the least of my concern.

This is my question too.

I thought you noticed that it was his first post when he created the thread. That's why I did not believe his story.

I was just thinking about that. This thread might have a similar title as the infamous poo-thread later today.
-

Why would I be? I am not in any pain or anything.
-
Well, let me take a guess... laptop or other scissor switch less than 'standard' width tab key. That's if you're being honest and somehow came to the conclusion that after that stupid move it'd be a good idea to share it with a few thousand complete strangers so you can get laughed at.
A key cap that size would be no problem and has a higher likelihood of popping off as compared to the usual Cherry MX or Alps key cap that most people here would be trying to visualize.

Why would I be?
Other than the fact such an object has the potential to become lodged in the small intestine(creating an obstruction), or tear the inner lining of the stomach as it winds its way through the colon, no reason at all.
You did ask what you should do, remember?
-
So, though I'm sure this isn't real, just take some stool softener and hope for the best.

But you see, wouldn't that cause pain? You must be the kinds of people that must have freaked the **** out over the swine flu.

Mmm tasty soft poo.

It wouldn't cause pain until the obstruction is serious, but by that time you'd probably require surgery. Nothing to worry about though.

Don't feed the troll.

Surprisingly enough, not so much. It takes some pretty serious internal strife to be noticeable as pain. The key could do a little damage and not be an issue at all... or it could do a little damage in just the right spot and mess you up for the rest of your life. Which could be short if you choose to ignore it.
-

I would take a picture of the tab key, but you see I do not have it. Feel free to call me a troll though.

Damn then, I hope I live. Otherwise a Tab key would take me out which would be pretty pathetic.

Yeah a tab key is pretty small. Anything less than a shift makes you a wuss. Tho I believe the medical treatment for ingesting indigestible things is to give laxatives and just poop it out. Unless its massive and sharp.

Exactly, thank god someone has common sense.

I'd still see a doctor to be safe.
Also I don't believe your story ><. Pics or it didn't happen. XRays of it in you would be best, but I'll accept turd with tab key lodged in it.

I'm still the opinion, that you should try space and tell us how it went.
