So um....
« on: Fri, 17 February 2012, 01:09:51 »
...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?

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.

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.

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, 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.

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?

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

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.

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.
