Haha, I love it — applies to me a lot. I tend to use photoshop terms so loosely, as if they’re part of everyday terminology.
Haha great, I tend to use ‘Ctrl-Z’ in life where it definitely does not apply… I spend way too much time on my computer.
I’m so bad for this. I’ll be drawing in my sketchbook and try and ctrl-z like I’m using my tablet. I’ve even done it in front of people before, and they just look at me like I’m crazy >.<”
This happens to me when I’m doing things like rearranging furniture at home. Then I realize I have to actually move the furniture back myself. Sigh…
more of life needs a cmd+z
Great one, Sadly I have done this my share of times.
Hehehe. I am sure that this applies to a lot of us
There have been moments where I have been writing something down on paper, made a mistake, and actually thought about CTRL + Z before I realized that that was not a legitimate option
hahaha nice one
definitely true
LOL…I tend to want to clone stamp faces when talking to people.
ahhahahhah!!! it happens to me too!!!
Haha, FF’s just great. I bet everyone of us keep watching ourselves in each strip!
There you go, Winters!
I just want to know how to get a vending machine in my house…
Haha, I seriously do think like that when I make a mistake. Glad it’s not just me then
I try to Ctrl+F on printed pages all the time. At least I haven’t started using regex with it yet. : )
Hahaha I thought it was only me. It happens to me all the time lol
I’ve always always wanted a real life Ctrl-F. I’m always trying to find certain phrases in books or things hidden amongst the mess on my table. Yes, a real life search tool would be awesome.
LOL………sometimes I’m trying to undo words what I’ve said
What’s worse is when you realise you get annoyed that the program has frozen while trying to click on the “edit” menu, before realising you’re using a pencil and sketchbook, not tablet and Photoshop
Oh man….I did this once in my head during a conversation. I knew then it was time to take a break.
hahaha. This has happened to me before.
Wow. I could easily see myself doing that after a long period of coding. UNDO! PLEASE!
I just tried it today when I accidentally tied a big knot in my mouse cable
I had that happen to me! Happy I am not alone
Ha ha! This happened to me after a huge project, I wasn’t even at computer and my fingers went to hit Cmd z ! What is going on, if only we could undo certain things in life!
When I had a tablet, I once sat down to draw on a piece of paper when I was tired.
So I drew a diagonal line over my nice drawing, trying to select a rectangle around it.
When I realized I drew over it, I tried to undo.
Oops?
Another one – I speak Hebrew, which is written right-to-left. So some programs handle that badly, and when you write a sentence like “I want 6, 5 would be good too” the 6 comes out to the left of the 5 (like in left-to-right) and the sentence gets messed up.
I once wrote such a sentence in class, on a piece of paper.
Then spent a good 30 seconds trying to use webmaster tricks to make surethat it won’t mess up for other users.
