CTRL+Z Syndrome

[tommythewolfboy]

Does anyone else suffer from the same condition as me after having done a load of design work and you subconsiously think in real life that when you make a mistake you'll just hit CTRL+Z to go back a step?!!! I was painting my house the other day and spilled a bit of paint and thought ... CTRL+Z ... doh! If only it was that easy :¬)

:lol:

that's a serieus condition you have ther.. :P

[andr.in]

well if I was painting my house I'd think of ctrl+s after every stroke :P

[tommythewolfboy]

LOL, that's obviously where I went wrong!

[jokun]

that'd be nice. and i know a few people i wouldn't mind trying cntrl+alt+delete on.

[shack]

lol yeah that does happen to me, especially in the kitchen, and I don't design I mainly program but I suppose I use ctrl + z a lot aswell!

[berkoWitZ]

lol! I have the same problem :lol:


:(

[senocular]

I have done both ctrl+z and ctrl+s in real life (or attempted to).
I am ashamed.

;)

Not ctrl-z'ing, but I remember when I was playing Blood (looooong time ago it was) I was using the cheat code to walk through walls. I was playing for 4 hours straight. My boss was sitting in the next room, he banged the wall a couple times (he was calling me into his room).

I get up, turn around and walk right into the wall... :dead:

I've never done the ctrl+z thing, but I have actually said "ROTFL" in a real-life conversation. I wasn't even on the floor, it was so embarrassing. :ne:

[maximum_flash]

yep, i have done that. i was at work and i hit this lady with a pallet jack and i was like CTRL+Z! well, didn't work. she was pissed.

[eilsoe]

A guy at my old school went around saying lol all the time... he knew it, and he couldn't care less... but it was still annoying as hell... :P

[prstudio]

i thought about hitting ctrl+z thing a while back -

more recently when something funny happened at work, I almost said "LOL" instead of actually laughing.

lol



...ugh

[Ψ]

i never did the rotfl or cntrl z but i accidently said lol many many times.

Kinda like when you're talking to a hot girl and you stumble over a line or say something incredibly stupid, and you search feverously for CTRL-Z only to realize theres no keyboard nearby. :P

I hate doing that, my brain goes to 100% CPU usage and it starts overheating saying "omg say something witty!!! quick!!!!" and then it freezes.

[DariusMonsef]

I'd like to CTR+Z reading this thread :P

[tommythewolfboy]

I'm not sure if I'm reassured or just plain scared that there are so many fellow 'sufferers' out there!! :¬) Perhaps I should set up a support group!

Sometimes I find that in a conversation some one will say "remember when and that happened a couple of months ago" and I will look at them blankly and say" loading file". sad I know, but it happens.
The worst one for me is ctrl C. I sometimes want to do that when I am studying. I slid my finger over the paragraph (to highlight) and wish I could just copy and paste in brain.

Go to the Apple store and get an iBrain loaded with OS 10.3 ;)
No more freezes.

[sameerzs]

same here, I was learning cartoon animation and so a lot of drawing, every time I use to do a mistake I use to search for ctrl+z or del button, then use to laugh on my self.

[MxNecromancer]

I use LOL in real life conversations alot. It's a habit for me now. I wish it wasn't the case. but it's just so addictive!
