I would find myself hitting Alt-F S out of habit on long emails to "save" the "document" (one of those habits one learns early when using this ultrareliable technology we have). On some email programs, that sends the email, so I used to send a lot of unfinished emails. Marc
So that's not just me then. I used to send a lot of apologies for unfinished emails.

You're typing an email and you press Escape then: - you press W to go to the next word... - you press $ to go to the end of the line... - you press x multiple times to delete that little mistake you just made... And last but not least... Your spell check keyboard shortcut is :w:ksh -n % It's not just .NET that's addictive, you know. :-D

...You are writing an email and you find yourself ending sentences with semi-colons ...You hit Ctrl-Shift-B after completing the email instead of Ctrl+Return ...You keep hitting tab and wonder why your words aren't autocompleting ...You find yourself trying to check if you're under Debug or Release before sending the email ...You realise the person reading the email is using a Mac and you get worried about whether they will be able to read your email.

...you try find and hit Ctrl+Z when you make mistake while filling paper form. ...you start counting from 0 in real life. ...you insist that 65536 is a round number in front of non-computer people.
Mostly, when you see programmers, they aren't doing anything. One of the attractive things about programmers is that you cannot tell whether or not they are working simply by looking at them. Very often they're sitting there seemingly drinking coffee and gossiping, or just staring into space. What the programmer is trying to do is get a handle on all the individual and unrelated ideas that are scampering around in his head. (Charles M Strauss)

That's me. Or how about when you're counting on your hand, look down, and realize you're working in boolean. Extra points for being in a group where nobody thinks it odd.
Count me in on that, I sometimes write single line comments in emails or in word, count from 0, or even put in the odd semicolon on sentences - regardless of which app I'm using; see what I mean; !!!! Shoo a fly away from the monitor - not with cursor but with mouse without realizing I've yanked the mouse cable out of the dev box wonderin' why the mouse aint responding...or sometimes, the cable is tied so tightly that I try swat the fly only for the mouse to fly out of my hand and I go 'ooops' esp if there's a mug o coffee nearby...or a glass o wine...sheesh...:doh: :-)
