Warning: The old Dell in the back of the Springfield library had a surprise inside

Last week, I was fixing a public computer there and found a whole family of roaches living in the power supply. The librarian, Janet, said it had been making a 'crunchy' sound for months. I had to bag the whole thing up and warn the janitor. Has anyone else had to deal with bugs in a public machine?

Oh man, that's nasty. I always figured those old cases were just dust traps. This totally changes my view. Now I'm side-eyeing every public computer I see. That crunchy sound detail is going to haunt me.

Remember my buddy who worked at the library? He opened a donated PC and a whole nest of those tiny sugar ants poured out from the keyboard. They had made a home in the old floppy drive. He said it looked like the keys were sweating ants for a full minute.

Tbh thats a nightmare scenario for anyone who uses a public library.
