Signs you spend way too much time on a PC

I was just reading a notice next to my monitor and tried to move the mouse to highlight part of it - I need to get out more! Has anyone ever done anything similar?

Occasionally I'll motion towards F3 when I'm looking for my keys.

In real life, if I do something wrong or not as well as planned, I sometiems try to hit the reload key

In my case, it's too much time gaming. I have gone to sleep with images of the rotating hexagons from Hexic HD in my head...

I used to keep hitting the numeric pad while trying to use the phone where I worked a year ago. A different desk set up helped

I have done what the OP has done, and also pressed 9 at home for a outside line :confused:

lol

The day I said LOL instead of actually laughing at a joke

People looked at me funny and thought WTF.

I used to have a friend who said "lol" without cracking a face when talking normally.

E.g.

"This car pulled out infront of me lol on the way here."

Notice how I said, used to.

Well I'm always having to defrag my flat if that's what you mean

I'm always saying to delete a piece of paper, and like the OP, tried using the mouse to select something in real life.

Nah actually this wasn't me. but I do have stories where I've spent too much time on here, but I thought I'd sidestep by using a friends example.

I sometimes stand on my dinner hoping to power up to full health.

I think the only thing i've said outloud is lol instead of laughing

Edit : I got the standing on dinner thing from that tv show called f.a.q by justin lee collins
