    When you are counting objects, you go "0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D...". When asked about a bus schedule, you wonder if it is 16 or 32 bits. When your wife says "If you don't turn off that darn machine and come to bed,then I am going to divorce you!", and you chastise her for for omitting the else clause. When you are reading a book and look for the space bar to get to the next page. When you look for your car keys using: "grep keys /dev/pockets" When after fooling around all day with routers etc, you pick up the phone and start dialing an IP number. When you get in the elevator and double-press the button for the floor you want. When not only do you check your email more often than your paper mail, but you remember your {network address} faster than your postal one. When you go to balance your checkbook and discover that you're doing the math in octal. When you dream in 256 pallettes of 256 colors.

              Sadly most programmers nowadays probably have no clue what most of that means. The only one I've ever really done myself was started counting from zero.

                The weirdest one I recently did was when I was writing a short story in word. I didn't like a paragraph but wasn't ready to delete it so I thought, "I'll comment it out." I clicked Format|Font|Strikethrough then hit okay and sat puzzled for a second wondering why a) there wasn't a comment block around the paragraph and b) it wasn't green.

                  The worst one for me was designing a technical spec in Word which included a couple of code segments. I automatically looked for the build option.:doh:

                      what's worse is when you find yourself clicking the buttons of the screenshot you just copied into paint a minute ago.

                        Once during my third semester at school, I had been programming well past midnight, and then got to sleep. When the alarm clock started ringing the next morning, I had only been sleeping for a couple of hours and therefore not with my full senses. My first thought when I woke up from the ringing was "I gotta override the Paint method of that clock".
