...you wake up and find that you've been using your keyboard as a pillow.

Or when you hear someone talk about Java and you don't understand what coffe has to do with it.

...you keep tying ls in other programs that don't need it.

...you keep using the Y key when talking on an IM program after you've been playing Counter-Strike.

...you use a Windows box and you keep forgetting that xkill does not work.
