No one but me touches my mac. In fact, when I'm at church and I have it with me, people will back away.

Haha, I have to let people use my Mac. I can't just say no to my Dad wanting to use it (he got it for me as a present) but I can to my Mom because she gets confused
. And if I don't let my sister my dad gets mad at me, and if my cousin comes over and I say no, he gives me a guilt trip, so now I have fingerprints on my screen

I hate when people pick it up or try to hold it. I am so paranoid that they will hurt it. I only trust me. I am also way OCD about not leaving it lying around when people have beverages in the surrounding 10 feet perimeter. I would rather spare myself the worry and take it to another room, or keep it safe on my lap.
I can't tell you how many times people have had drinks on the table near my computer, and as soon as I move it, one of the drinks will get spilled on accident.
Hah. Yeah I do get annoyed.
My friend always presses the arrow keys or uses the scroll bar to scroll. And when I tell him just use two fingers on the touchpad, he says, "no, this is easier!"
My mom does that all the time. Same with my friends then i just go crazy with the shortcuts and teach them some, and teach them to use spaces and expose
When someone points something out to you on the screen and you immediately say do not touch the screen!
I've caught myself doing these:
1. when looking through my camera about to take a picture, if i see sensor dust or a part of the picture I don't like, I think about editing in photoshop before I snap the picture.
2. I look at the kitchen or a room that i need to clean and think, I'll just click this that and that and then delete.
sadly, these happen more often than you think...

I've done that countless times. I also see their greasy fingers moving towards the screen in slow motion. NNNNNNNOOOO!
Moon, you're awesome. That one put a smile on my face, which says a lot because its 8:30 am.
You know your a geek when...
... you consider selling your body to get the cash for your next tech fix.
... you begin to find that anime characters actually arouse you.
... at electronics/computer stores you eavesdrop on conversations to make sure customers are being told accurate and correct information.
... more of your daily fantasies involve getting new tech stuff vs. quality time with your spouse.
... you and your partner would rather stay home on a Friday night and play PS3 rather than go out on the town.
... your idea for the greatest fight in history would be to have Steve and Bill face off in a cage/death match.
... you've considered starting a support group for others like you who fit the criteria for addiction/abuse in relation to your interaction/dependence upon technology
... going without internet access for more than 24 hours leads to serious withdrawal symptoms and negative side effects
... you have a variety of pocket protectors to coordinate with your wardrobe

You know you're a geek when....your 3 year old toddler has her own dedicated desktop and is all ready frustrated with Windows.
You get pissed off every time you watch War Games at the fact the floppy drives are upside down.
You know who Lewis and Gilbert are.
You speak in radio waves.

WHOA WHOA WEE WA! (yes very old, i know)
Instead of studying for finals you spend your day on MR, overclocking your old PC's and writing silly little programs that don't really do anything useful.
Yeah the blackbook does too
When you keep your macbook in great condition, no scratches, marks on the screen etc, you then see your friends and his laptop has scratches and a dirty screen and you start trying to clean it
