I am posting this to see how honest people are about their idiotic tendencies when using computers. What stupid things have you done when you have been using a computer?
for example, i have:
Clicked the "X" on a screenshotof a window/applicatiob to try and close it.
Tried to use an external mouse for the best part of 5 minutes without it being plugged in!!
Come on people own up to the things you have done.
but the vibrating win98 style windows are the most urgent! especially if they're informing you of having "WON!!!!" something non-specific.
i once fell for one of those messenger things "omg lol m8 pl8 prost8 look at this picture http://blaitant.virus.jpg.exe" in my defence the guy genuinely did stay stuff like omg and m8... i havnt spoken to him in years now

I honestly just clicked this link to see what it was.. (:
Your just jealous that you're not as awesome as me.

I have done that so many times. I remember once when a link to meatspin was posted on a website and everyone was saying DON'T CLICK IT, its awful. what did i do??? I clicked it. OMG why????

I just woke up so I'm not sure. Because I work on both OSX and XP I frequently get the CTRL and CMD keys mixed up (copy in XP being CTRL+C, OSX being CMD+C). Or thinking I'm under OSX and pressing CMD+CTRL+D to bring up the mini dictionary thing or trying to activate Expose.
I'm sure I've done a lot of little silly things. However, they've been spread over the course of many years, so I would be hard pressed to remember any! Clicking the X on a screenshot sounds vaguely familiar.
I once removed a heat sink for a graphics card because it used up too much space to put the fan. It got hotter without the heat sink even though I put a little fan on it

I overclocked my GeForce 2 Ti to play Unreal Tournament 2003. Blew the card and textures could no longer be displayed , underclocked it but it no longer worked right. But it fixed itself after a couple of months.
Thank god that graphics cards no longer break when you overclock them . Already going 150mhz faster for L4D and no problems yet!
And building a computer over the summer I forgot to put the correct screws in and stuff rattled about like mad when the fans kicked in. Probably knocked a couple of years off the HDD's life.
Not so much on the computer, but still computer related. I've a couple of times done something stupid in real life and automatically my brain thought "Ctrl-Z!"
There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary and those who don't.
