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.

I re-installed the driver to my printer 3 times before I realized I never plugged it into the usb port.

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!"
