I frequently grope for my work security badge when approaching the door of a public building such as a grocery store.
Once I filled in the language part of a job app with c, php, and css. The tech guy never even noticed it, but the HR woman asked me where those languages were spoken. Duh!
I once interviewed a girl for a programming gig. We needed someone that could manage pipes (connections between two processes). When I asked her “what is your experience with pipes?” She looked at me kind of strange, then said she didn’t have any plumbing experience. I lost it right there. I felt bad, but since the job description had specified it and she had claimed experience on her resume, I didn’t feel too bad afterwards. Guess she should have at least googled and memorized the experience she was claiming.
In California, in the 90s when I got my license, as well.
I’ve “engaged the clutch” on my wife’s automatic before. The other people in the car were not amused.
A few years ago, I did ctrl-C to select/copy some text, then ctrl-V to paste it.
On the other computer I had on the desktop.
Needless to say, I did not get the expected results :D.
After taking a flying lesson, I got into my car and, once I got up to speed, I pulled back on the steering wheel to take off. I STILL want my flying car!
Driving home after another lesson, I got splashed by another car and I couldn’t see out the windshield, so I looked down to the instrument panel keep driving… until I got out of the clouds, I suppose.
I actually wrote a little app to do just that.
It’s minor, but embarrassing. I take both bus and train regularly. When I take the train I usually end up fumbling at the top of the window, to find the cord signaling that I want to get off at the next stop. Luckily I’ve so far been able to prevent myself from leaning over someone to grab at nothing.
