Computer Nerds - Quirks and Habits
-
Do you ever do strange things because you're a computer nerd? For those of us here who may consider ourselves to be computer nerds, what unusual things do you do?
I do strange stuff, but not because I'm a computer nerd. I'm just strange. :laugh: Like, when I get excited, sometimes I get the impulse to tickle my nose. Why? Beats me. But I mean... what nose doesn't need a good tickling every now and again?

When I can think of it, sure.

One quirk my friend used to have was - To move around every small thing on the table (paperweight, mobile, remote, etc) as a mouse, and expect something to move on an imaginary 'screen'.

They used to not be considered strange, but I now work 8+ hours per day, own a home, and don't do social media.

People say they pick their nose. Feel like I was just born with mine.
"A little time, a little trouble, your better day" Badfinger
I've developed a strange quirk that I can't shake. I look at other cars' license plates when in traffic. I automatically have to evaluate the characters of each license plate to determine if every character qualifies as a hexadecimal character. If all the characters on a license plate qualify as hexadecimal, I take the first 6 characters and imagine what color that hex code would represent. Once I've got the color in mind, I move on to the next license plate and do it again. I can't stop it. My brain automatically does this whenever I see another car's license plate. If I see a license plate with characters that match a number sequence matching up to the first 10 digits of pi (e.g. "ABC314"), then that little voice in my mind says "Oh, cool"...

I thought I was the only person that did this I look for code on license plates but most often what the profession might be of the car owner I tried to get Dado the Arizona License Burrow told me it was too close to Dildo so I asked if I could have that instead She didn't laugh
