Yes I know it is juvenile, but if Dell sent you a replacement laptop full of pubes wouldn't you be pissed? According to one Consumerist reader, that is just what happened after a Dell technician helped him fry an old laptop after instructing him to use it as a test unit for a malfunctioning adapter. GOOD: Dell offered to replace the laptop free of charge. BAD: The laptop was full of human pubic hair. If this is true, is it some sort of tech support equivalent of spitting in your food? If you can stand to look, the actual picture is available after the break.

ehhhh...
Well, the story is a little exaggerated, but still. It is still really disgusting. If this was accidental, what the crap was Dell doing that had pubic hair involved?
What??? You all never itched your nuts on a Dell?
Dude, I'm doing a Dell!
@DucatiGuy: Are you implying that they have uses other than crotch-scratcher?
Although it is curly and sort of pubic looking how can we be sure its pubic hair? Maybe the guy (girl? ewww) has really thick hair and some fell off.
Anita Hill now works for Dell? Who knew?
Meh, no big deal: Hair today, gone tomorrow....
I think you guys are just jealous that someone else is sticking tech in their pants.
It's not blond so we can rule out the obnoxious Dell Dude as a culprit
I find this hard to believe.
Remember, when rubbing your genitals on a customer's computer, it is *not* advisable to leave DNA evidence behind. At least not any that belongs to you...
BTW: Gross (or fun) fact: the spoonerism for "mend fences" is "fend menses"
Just thought I'd put that out there.
At least they didn't cook them into the chili.
That NEVER goes well...
+ Watch video
I wouldn't mind if they were that guys pubes! ; )
The man pantsing the Dell is pretty sexy. Still wouldn't want his pubes on my comp, though.
Jason, do you see what you've started with the whole "pantsing" thing?!
My other reason for switching to Mac.
@OMG! Ponies!: what the hell :/
Note to myself:
do NOT shave your pubes hairs again on the job, especially right over a laptop.
@OMG! Ponies!: OMG!!!!! ITS PONIES!!!!!!
we've missed u around here.
U should automatically get a STAR for being an awesome pony.
@scarbrtj:
Aw man, right idea, wrong execution. It was Clarence Thomas who left the pube (allegedly) on the Coke can FOR Anita Hill.
Almost very funny.
@Simpsons-Movie-ruled: 3 months in a cube farm with no internet access (using the internet at your desk is a fireable offense). Project's winding down.
Ponies is back!
There's no way this can be true... The techs aren't even in the building (probably not even the same state/country), no way a mad tech could have arranged someone else to do that.
Only thing I can think of is that someone sent a system back to Dell on a return or lease expiration. Dell didn't bother to clean it, and put it in the "working use as replacement" pile.
bottom line is if it's true then... EEEEWWWW!
I feel like laptop full of pubes is a les clay pool song or maybe ween. Pretty gross.
ch-ch-ch-Chia!
Is this the unit that was given to Chen to review?
Hey Dudes!!! Who teabagged my Dell????
Question is, did the owner bother to sniff them?
that is a pretty crappy thing to have happen. However, as a PC tech for a cetain big box store, I keep in mind that with laptops a certain truth exists. Almost everybody surfs the porns. Most people are touching themselves while doing this. Then when it breaks, we have to fix them. I wash my hands a lot!
Ya know, those things are pretty good 'n wedged in there, and in an awkward part of the laptop, too. That must've taken some real doing. Whoever was responsible, I've got to hand it to 'em for really going all the way. If you're gonna be an ass, don't be a half-ass.
Now how 'bout some Purell for that hand I just gave. Geh.
@OMG! Ponies!: You can't keep a good pony down...good to have you back in the saddle
It's a feature.
Custom colors just weren't enough.
Um... as a Sikh male, I've got beard hair... which sometimes scatters... indiscriminantly... an old girl friend (in my virginal years) used to complain that every time I left her room, it looked like we had had sex on every piece of furniture...
Point being, maybe it's not of pubic origin?
Well it happened.
@OMG! Ponies!:
::rolls eyes::
great...
@CGrant: They shave?
Clearly the laptop has become sentient and is looking to reproduce. This is just the beginning of the metamorphosis.
Dell should fully compensate him for both of his laptops. Sending laptop with hair? It doesn't matter if those are pubic hair or not. Hair? Dell clearly doesn't give a rat's ass on what kind of things they send to people. Don't they at least open it up and check? Plus, why are they sending people refurbished replacements? Dell clearly is doing bad business here.
eww.... maybe its "armpits" hair.
eww someone must have humped a keyboard with a penis small enough to fit through
@Dunny0: Well put!!!!!
Hey mom, my laptop came back and OH MY GOD what is that!!!
@strider_mt2k: HAHA I was just looking for that! The pay back was awesome!
Could have been a really hairy fat guy working on it and he had so much arm hair it falls off.
Looks like Dell got it from a pawn shop that bought it from a guy who'd stuffed it down his pants to steal it from a retail store.
I suppose this makes up for all the, uh, effluvia we used to find in people's computers when they brought them in for service, when I was working in the service dept at Fry's. Believe me, a hard drive full of porno was the least of it.
@--Tito--: NO. There is no way to confuse that short and curly with the other short and curlies.
Yeah............ Im never buying a dell ever again, im going to go dip my XPS in bleach, just in case.
maybe it was just some black guys head-hair?..........
i keed i keed
It actually works! WOW.

a couple of years ago my friend got a good deal on a *new* dell laptop from their site, and when it arrived in the mail he found somebody's photos on it.. is dell supplementing their inventory with poorly disguised refurbs?
