You know you're a geek when........

[lisati]

You go to Office Depot to purchase some inkjet cartridges, and while checking out at the register, the friendly employee asks you if you'd like to take advantage of their "Tech Depot Services" (set up, fix, support for PC users). You smile, shake your head, and point to the Slackware Linux t-shirt you are wearing.

*true story*

I've had people notice when I've worn an Ubuntu t-shirt and/or an Ubuntu lanyard.

You know you're a geek when your local laptop repair guy notices that your laptop runs Ubuntu. (This happened back in 2010)

When the IT guy in you company say "you can install Ubuntu in your desktop but then you are alone from now on!". I did install my Ubuntu anyway

[zombifier25]

Hahaha

... when your parents ask an IT guy to install a tracking software on your comp and then have him stop dead at the Guest Session.
(not my story)

I've had people notice when I've worn an Ubuntu t-shirt and/or an Ubuntu lanyard.

I had somebody body come up to me in a large (town-wide) crowd and say "how many people do you think knows what that means?" referring to my (black) Ubuntu hat.

Or finding out the guys working in the coffee bar of a bookstore are Fedora users after they saw the hat and drummed up the conversation.

When the IT guy in you company say "you can install Ubuntu in your desktop but then you are alone from now on!". I did install my Ubuntu anyway

I got that from our Sys Admin when he was setting up everybody with a VPN so they can work from home if need-be (business continuity).

You type so fast that you don't even know how you do it

Or when you type up your class notes faster then the teacher can give them (true story).

Or when you fix the computers in 5 minutes when the it-guy can't get them working at all.
