Relative pitch can be just as bad... after playing with tuners and bands for year and years and years, there are certain notes (concert B-flat, F, E-flat) that when I hear them at all out of tune a part of my consciousness goes crazy. I often think to myself "sharp sharp sharp sharp... bring the pitch down, damnit!" or the same thing for flatness. This isn't exact with me, a few cents in either direction I might not catch, but sometimes I just know it from the second it reaches my brain. I developed this... I have my own self to blame. A lot of good being a music major for a year did to me, it just made it impossible to enjoy music like I used to as a child. Now music is much more intellectual for me when I play, I wish it wasn't... it takes a lot for me to get carried away, which is probably why I've focused on writing poetry a lot more in the last several years.
