LOL! Well...

You go out to lunch with another technical writer and
identify all the fonts used on the menu before you decide
what to order. You resist the urge to tell the waiter about
the typo you found.

You go to a laser light show with some friends, and while
they're in the museum playing with the lights and holograms,
you're analyzing all the CBTs in the exhibits.

You collect really bizzar instructions. My favorite is one
I found in instructions for a food processor -- "blades are
sharp - keep out of children!" <g>

You're secretly plotting to disable the quotation mark key
on all the keyboards in the development dept.
