Was rereading through old messages (again, there's something wrong with me tonight, don't ask me to explain it) and came across the original "Computer Geek Slips" thread. This thread was a favorite of mine and I was always sad that there weren't too many responses. So I'm going to try and resurrect it with a slip of my own recently which really scared me (for those that are too lazy to find the original, basically a computer geek slip is just something stupid you've done that attests to your geekiness):

The other day at work I was stapling stuff. Not too weird, but I stapled two papers together that I shouldn't have. My first thought? My fingers actually reached to hit CTRL+Z (aka the standard undo key in Windows). This was when I realized I wasn't sitting in front of a screen. I think I need to get out more...

A side note: Man, that search engine for the message forum really does take FOREVER if you put it on slow. I started the search for "computer geek slips" in the subject line when I started this message (so that I could provide the original thread's URL). It's still going. It was actually faster for me to just hit the "All Messages" link and use Netscapes "Find" feature to get it manually (thank god for cable modems, that all messages index is some 1500K)
