Deleting stuff you don't need from your hard drive so that you can download more stuff that you don't need.
Also, compressing files in various formats in an attempt to find the one that compresses best, so that you can download more stuff that you don't need.
Having an external SATA dock and buying a new HD whenever I run out of space, resulting in a desk full of SATA drives of backups and data.
I... I hope I'm not alone on this one.
That rush of happiness you get when you feel the ground beneath your boots shiver as the mighty tree you just felled comes crashing down.
Sitting in the back of the car when you were a kid, pretending to be running down the road alongside it.

Sadly I have never experienced this, though my great-grandfather was a lumberjack so it is in my blood.
Making a "little guy" with your hand (the index and middle fingers are the legs) and "running" him down the hall in school, on the walls and on the railings.
Playing in boxes as a little kid and pretending they were something else.

I would always do that on the grocery store check-out conveyor counter.
>>6
Wow, my best friend and I were just talking about how we also did that as a kid. I also have my own hand creature where the middle and ring fingers are the legs and the pinky and index are the arms, but it's hard to do.
>>9
That's what I always did for the running hand-man, I thought it looked less strange than using the pointer and middle fingers. One leg always ends up considerably longer when you do it the other way...
That feeling when you want to do something enjoyable and you are too tired to do some basic preparation for that, even though you are perfectly aware that the ultimate enjoyment will outweigh the slight effort of the preparation.
Inversely to >11, that feeling when you are preparing something where the effort put in is much more rewarding than the final product because it is an experience of trial, error, and excitement, and that the final product is more of a trophy to bring out those memories of working on it.

I always imagined I was playing MEGA-CYCLIST 3000, riding a humble-looking bicycle with all sorts of secret powers, and doing all sorts of crazy maneuvers to keep up with the car.

I liked to make a guy where the index and ring fingers are legs, pinky and thumb are arms, and then the middle finger sticks out like a penis. Teehee
I always pretended that I was jumping down the road, using all of the shadows from trees and power lines and such as platforms. It was actually a really fun way to pass the time for long car rides...
Finding instant food forgotten in the microwave oven the next day
Having your enjoyment of a song ruined by some asshole who likes to sing along, or whistle.
Even worse are those who try to make synthesizer or electric guitar sounds with their mouths.
>>16 There are a select (and quite VIP) few who can pull off those vocal synth sounds. Good beatboxers, for example.
That feeling you should have gone to sleep five hours ago, accompanied by the knowledge you will feel horrible when you wake up, if you even manage to do so.
I did >>19 last night, and I have to work today too. BUT NO REGRETS!
Sometimes after I say something, I'll remember having said it twice upon recalling it later (sometimes a few seconds later, sometimes hours). I always worry that people think I have echolalia, but I can never be sure if I actually did say it twice, or if I'm just remembering it twice.
That feeling when you realize after saying something that you've already said it a few hours ago.
Thinking about something and then wondering if somebody else in the world is thinking about the same thing.
Making huge plans to stay up all night doing cool things, then falling asleep around midnight with a huge, half-full cup of coffee just across the room.
When people tell me about how they have trouble going to bed at night, I get a little wistful.
When you run up the stairs and halfway up, you begin running up on your hands and feet like a dog.
Refering to my computer as a 'she'.
Pretending your pens and/or pencils were spaceships and making them zoom around while you were bored out of your mind at your desk in elementary school
Stapling things to your arm to scare people in elementary school.
>>32
I superglued a warhammer 40k piece to my penis once(don't ask long story), and then I showed a friend pics(even longer story involing alcohol), and than he posted the pics online(just...nm okay).
So I can kind of relate.
