I was in someone else’s car once when he stopped for a red light. We waited there for an awfully long time, and I was wondering why he stopped in the middle of nowhere. Then I realized that he’d stopped for a call box with a red globe on top.
Your post reminded me of this classic joke

Reminds me of something I saw awhile ago: To a Baby, a Magazine is an iPad that Doesn’t Work.
As for me, I find myself far too often trying to tilt my world around to get a better view of something, a la World of Warcraft. And I get a little frustrated when it doesn’t work. 
I have a Sirius satellite radio in my car. Whenever I’m in someone else’s car, listening to the radio when a song I like comes on, I’ll frequently look at the radio to see the name of the song and artist. But they’re just not there!
Have you ever answered your home phone with your name and the name of your department?
After most of the early 24 marathons, which involved watching the episodes I had recorded on VHS, it would take me a few days to stop reaching for the remote any time a commercial came on. And even now, when I re-watch episodes of 24 on DVD, I still have a Pavlovian need to reach for the remote every time an act ends.
I wrote something on a calendar in pencil, but when I realized I had written it down wrong I furiously looked for the delete button instead of the eraser.
I used to do that. Now I have a car where I can actually do it, and never remember I have that feature.
I once rented the cargo truck from Lowe’s. When I brought it back, I was parking it on the sidewalk immediately in front of the store, and my left foot stomped down on the clutch.
Except this was not a manual-trans truck, it was an automatic - and my left foot had found the brake. The truck slammed instantly to a stop, violently rattling the tailgate and every tie-down loop on the bed, causing all within 100 feet to turn and stare at me. D’OH!
These are priceless. 
I find myself trying to swipe the screen on my laptop all the time, but I’m sure I’m far from alone in that.
My old car had automatic head lights and my pickup didn’t (still doesn’t as a matter of fact) and my new car also doesn’t. Every time I get in the car, I can never remember to turn the headlights on, they’re supposed to be automatic dammit!! I’ve never had that problem in the pickup.
No, but I frequently give my full phone number, including area code, when talking to someone at a business in my tiny town where everyone’s number starts with the same three numbers and people often give only the last four, with the rest understood. :smack:
Yeah. I spend a lot of time tapping uselessly at my computer screen and getting annoyed that it doesnt work.
Well when Windows8 comes out, sounds like that WILL work 
I watch most of my TV shows prerecorded on the PVR, but occasionally watch something live and I get upset at the damm PVR because I cannot get it to fast forward thru the commercials.
Gosh, yes. Sometimes I even answer with the name of a company I haven’t worked for in a decade. Fortuantly, my mother finds it funny, and she’s almost the only person who still calls my home landline.
I’ve just recently gotten into Minecraft, and been playing it WAY more than what is healthy for me. Sometimes, when I get away from it and back into the real world, it takes me a moment to realize I can’t just go dig out a brick from the wall if I wanted to. So I haven’t actually TRIED to do anything crazy in the real world that I could do in minecraft, but it takes me a while to realize that I COULDN’T if I wanted to. Very weird feeling.
Not without a hardware upgrade, I’m betting.
Yeah, that’s my guess too. I’m gonna pass on that one. Then again, I’m still grumpy I can’t seem to get into a DOS shell anymore, though to be fair it’s so long since I did that I probably wouldn’t know what to do anymore, anyway. 
Still grumpy.
A couple of years ago, I had to help look after a sick relative who lived more than a five hour drive from me. After about the eighth drive up, I found myself wondering why I hadn’t found the flight point yet. It was shortly after that that I started taking the bus.
