You Know You Are A Geek When

[AtomicMaster]

Rules are simple, post a sentence starting with "You know you are a geek when"

 

For example:

You know you are a geek when you can read a file format off a network capture looking at just hex.

You know you are a geek when you can convert hex to binary to hex more easily than 24 hour time to 12 hour time.

You know you are a geek when you throw a d20 on a skill check to see if you are ok to drive.

 

Just a few examples for now, i want everyone to have a good go at it before posting more.

(Yes i know this has been done before, i should know, i did it; but it's still a ton of fun, so...)

You know you're a geek when you only lose your temper about the big stuff, like the correct way to fold a frikkin' road map and why .7mm lead is for buck-toothed hill people.

My brother puts his 25+ years of happy marriage down to the fact that his wife is a better map-reader and folder than he is - and that he knows this fact!

You know you're a geek when you can at least be glad one more person won't be using the word "supposably" ever again, even if it means Summer Glau won't be having sex with you behind the Klingon makeup booth at Comic-Con.

[Moontanman]

you now you're a geek when realizing Summer Glau is a robot only makes it sexier...

[imatfaal]

You know you will only ever amount to being a wannabe geek when you realise you have no idea who or what Summer Glau is.

You know you are a geek when the first thing you do with any new program you install is attach it to a debugger.

You know you are a geek when you are unanimously voted to be the Sheldon of any group of people you appear in... every time...

You know you are a geek when you know the etymology of most keywords in most programming languages.

You know you are a geek when you seriously ponder [Adrian Newey, Richard Stallman, Linus Torvalds, John Carmack, Tim Sweeney, Jeff Bonwick, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Lawrence Krauss, Tejun Heo, Hector Martin, Travis Goodspeed ... ] being a robot. [ probably true, WWIII, WWIII, probably true, probably true, yep, first president of the world, WW[math]-{{\hbar^2}\over{2m}}\nabla^2\Psi+V\Psi=i\hbar{{\delta\Psi}\over{\delta t}}[/math], probably wrote the kernel modules for the Linus robot hardware, would reverse and install homebrew on all of the above robots, would whip-up the hardware and software for the robots one boring afternoon...]
