You Might Be A Geek If...

[iago]

If ten or more of these apply, I hope you work in the computer industry.

You introduce your wife as "[email protected]".
You can quote scenes from any Monty Python movie.
Dilbert is your hero.
You can name 6 Star Trek episodes.
Your spouse sends you an e-mail to call you to dinner.
Your idea of good interpersonal communication means getting
the decimal point in the right place.
Your ideal evening consists of fast-forwarding through the latest
science-fiction movie looking for technical inaccuracies.
You have "Dilbert" comics displayed anywhere in your work area.
You carry on a one-hour debate over the expected results of a
test that actually takes five minutes to run.
You are convinced you can build a phazer out of your garage
door opener and your camera's flash attachment.
You don't even know where the cover to your personal computer is.
You know the direction the water swirls when you flush.
You own "Official Star Trek" anything.
You have ever taken the back off your TV just to see what's inside.
You see a good design and still have to change it.
The salespeople at Circuit City can't answer any of your questions.
You have more toys than your kids.
You can remember the passwords for seven different computers but not your
wedding anniversary.
You have ever owned a calculator with no equal key and know what
RPN stands for.
You know how to take the cover off of your computer, and what size screw
driver to use.
You have more friends on the Internet than in real life.
You think that when people around you yawn, it's because they didn't
get enough sleep.
You spend more on your home computer than your car.
You turn off your modem and get this awful empty feeling, like you
just pulled the plug on a loved one.
You spend half of a plane trip with your laptop on your lap...and
your child in the overhead compartment.
You decide to stay in college for an additional year or two,
just for the free Internet access.
You start using smileys in your snail mail.

In case anybody is wondering, I got a loose 14 (should be 13 since I don't have a wife, but I WOULD know 7 different computer passwords and not our anniversery )

I got 10 on the dot... and same case as iago I would probably forgot the anniversary too...

It's not at all hard to have more friends on the net than in real life, join a clan, there's more than real life already...

Hmm... My modem can be turned off? What a useless feature...

My dsl modem can be turned off, but I've never had to.   My friend actually turns his off, as well as his computer, whenever he goes afk for any extended period.

[Yoni]

Let me guess. Your friend isn't a geek.

[iago]

Let me guess. Your friend isn't a geek.

He would score 8, because he does watch star trek and take apart his computer regularely

[CrAz3D]

So many of those apply to me it isn't even funny.

You might be a geek if you regularly post on a forum where having the highest score for "You might be a geek if ..." is a good thing.

That one really hit home as well as obviously the Circut City one and the computer case one.

Well if that's the case I get 5 points for that.
