When you get mad at the show The Big Bang Theory because at the end of one episode when Walowitz's toilet he designed for the ISS fails the astronauts call Houston asking for permission for all of them to 'step outside' for an EVA, then tell Houston it was informational and that they are all 'halfway out the door.' :facepalm:

when you walk past a door at work (in a retail store, off the shop floor) that has a sign: "Work in Progress" (referring to the store's modernisation) and you wonder if Moach is in there coding away at the G42-200

when you press [ESC] three times quickly whilst using AutoCAD to do a university assignment, and panic, as part of your mind thinks you just ejected your work (about 30 hours worth) out of the hard drive

...When you fly a glider in the moonlite, and wonder about your TLI burn.

"Well, judging by its velocity and inclination it is probably going to land near that tree..." :)
