I'm going to make a new post called "You know you are a web developer when"

1. You have the first sentence of Lorem Ipsum memorized

and more..

I'm looking for ideas, feel free to post your ideas here.

When you write your shopping lists with <ul>'s and <li>'s.

 

when you always think in terms of "if... then... else"...

 

When you mistakenly think a $ is made up of 1024 cents

 

Thanks for all the ideas, any more?

 

When you enclose a piece of text in the u tag rather than underline it.

 

After you have heard "Oh, a web developer, I have nephew (not shaving yet) that makes web pages" enough times to make you want to run the following query:

delete idiot
from earth
where nephew like "web"​

 

haha, all very true, thanks for all the posts lol, i'm going to put my thinking cap on and post some more.

 

Sorry to you all you IE lovers out there, but I have to say:

When you think IE 6 is the devil!

 

A few of my own personal experiences:

- You try to sound smart and talk about DNA but say DNS instead

- Whenever you make a mistake in real life (misplacing something, decorating something wrong, mess ups at work, etc) you instinctively look for the "Undo" button.

- It truly bothers you whenever MySpace errors that you map out possible coding problems and issues in your head to pass the time.

Now for some made up ones:

- Your friends come to you with personal problems and the first thing you ask is "What type of errors are you receiving?

- You accidentally start typing your term papers with <?

- It bothers you that you can't look at the code behind a page in a book or on the TV.

- You find yourself saying "variable soup" instead of "vegetable soup".

- You make all important life decisions using the bubble method.

 

...you go to the mall and can name all the fonts found in a specific store

 

When you starts finding "keywords" in people conversations and next morning you are early in the office. (true for myself)

 

when your surfing the net you check image links for alt tags
you can identify the photoshops effects neccesary to make a specific graphic
you call a guy a spammer for wearing a black hat then realize he doesnt know what your talking about

 

When you read a newspaper article and say, 'its not well written because google will list list it if put online.' (lack of keywords) again..

 

thats a good one.

 

When on every piece of paper you need to sign you are looking for a 'submit' button.

 

Can't tell you how many times i've done and thought that through lol

 

you are reading instead you are looking for highest paying keywords.

 

While you are on the phone with an automated system (press 1 for English, press 2 to be placed on hold for 25 minutes, etc) and coding away on your PC, you accidently make your phone choice (press 7 to erase) on your PC's keyboard.

 

you got scammed by your programmer
