I just tried to double-click a word on the page with my hilighter pen. o_O
(You know, rather than dragging the pen across the word like a normal
human being would...)

I was working on improving my lighting skills with 3D scenes, and re-reading
Jeremy Birn's book at night before bed. I woke up one morning, after the sun
came up, looked at the ceiling, and my first thought was, "I gotta turn down
the ambient inclusion in here."
Another time, I was looking at arranging some refrigerator magnets for a
still life photograph. I got the composition about like I wanted, then I
thought, "If I turn off the shadow on that one light, it'll be just about
right." Fortunately, I realized what I was thinking before I actually went
looking for the "no shadow" switch on the light fixture...
:D

A colleague of mine once tried to close a real life window, which happened to be
exactly above his monitor when opened, by trying to click on it with his mouse
cursor. He was wondering why he couldn't move the mouse to the other screen.

Oh, and sometimes I try to open my office door with the keyless remote to my
car. I'll look at the thing and try to figure out why it's not working for a
moment, even.
Ah, technology. :)

I once paused during a cellphone conversation with someone... because I couldn't
find my phone. I actually said, down the line, "I've lost my phone" before I
worked it out.
Not quite like the above examples, but technology-related stupidity nonetheless!
:)

I think the worst I ever got was a housemate in college trying to get
something opened or closed, grumbling "Come on you piece of crap, open
already" or some such. When he finally got it open, he said "Sorry, I
sometimes talk to inanimate objects." I said "No problem. I expect them to
answer."

I ordered stamps from Zazzle that read "Place Stamp Here".

Sometimes when drawing or writing on real paper, I'll make a mistake and
then immediately try to hit undo. Makes a person feel a bit silly ;)

I was reading a gaming magazine today, and at one place there was a
sentence which was colored differently from the rest. I swear that for
a second I had an urge to test if it's a link by clicking on it... after
which I remembered I'm reading a real magazine, not a webpage.
