    ...you write a wallpost on a friend's FB using bash programming (and friend knows literally nothing at all about computers, just uses them).

    ...you skip sex with wifey (etc.) because you can't solve a problem in your box.

    (Maybe the last one is too much, but I did it at least twice).

    Backups are amazing. 99% of data loss can be prevented by spending less than $100 on an external drive.
    If you have seen an error, there is a good chance someone else has, too. Google is your friend.

    A friend of mine used old AOL CDs as coasters. At least they were finally good for something

    ...when someone says "no", you just repeat the same thing with "sudo" in front.

    No manual entry for woman
