I have no depth perception so I actually can't point without touching reliably such that it's unambiguous from a very different direction, hence the pen

depends on colleague.
If someone touches my screen, i usually don't even notice or care for that matter. -
kiki351282yexcept there are neurological and mental diseases when people have hard time controlling their body. No, not so severe that it's visible. It's in the details, in small movements like pointing. You'll never gonna know, it's more common than you think.
I know at least one person like this very well. -
@alturnativ no reason to touch a regular screen, i think it's worse, they're just leaving a fingerprint there

Vetpetmon572y@kiki Can back you up here, I get muscle spasms in my limbs 24/7.
I've found that pointing to a spot on a piece of printer paper instead of the screen works just as well without being rude to colleagues.
I was going to write this in a jovial ranty style but I just can't, its too serious. So I'll just say it:
Do not touch your colleagues screen, ever. It's the height of rudeness. You can point without touching, it's not hard. Thanks.
