It depends what I am doing, which angle I am to the keyboard etc.

Screen savers etc. I tend to use shift, ctrl, cmd etc. so that I don't inadvertantly set something off.

When asked to press any key I press... any key. It's random.

I usually press the N key followed quickly by the E key.

Either mash the keyboard or press the button next to the F**k it button I've added.

Can't really remember. It probably is random but I would hazard a guess that it's the Space bar more than anything else.

Nice, I used to have an "Eject Seat" button.

I'm surprised with the lack of people choosing the "Enter/Return" option, since about 50% of my colleagues use this :?

I imagine that being rather funny to watch.

I generally go with enter or space but sometimes a random key. Enter and space are definitely the two most common though.

I just hit the keyboard with a bunch of fingers. Which hand I choose depends if I am lazy enough not to lift my right hand off the mouse. Which actual key(s) are pressed is speculative.

Either Esc or Help or the 3 fingered salute depends how I'm feeling :twisted:

I have an ejector seat button, next to one labelled "Panic!"
