Ever screwed up and thought: Edit->Undo ?

Inspired by Prince's poll; "Ever said lol out loud"?

Have you ever screwed up something in real life, and immediately thought "Edit-Undo" before you realised what you were thinking?
Although I pleaded not-guilty to the former poll, I have to admit having sucumbed to this on more than one occasion!

I've thought "damnit, I should have saved".

Which is pretty close. =)

I have thought that on many occasion!

But that is probably linked to the general idea of being able to turn back the clock and do things differently. (which is not really linked to computers).

But I've even caught myself thinking: "I wish I could save now, because I'm not sure if what I'm about to do is the right thing".
I play games way too much

Rarely, but I usually think long and hard before I say something. If an e-mail is at all controversial, I'll edit it several times before sending it just to be sure.

All the time, since I have a tendency to fuck things up. Like Yakk said, I've thought of "should have quicksaved" or something... oh morrowind, how you have warped me.

No, but while looking through class notes, I find myself thinking, "ctrl + f would make this a hell of a lot easier."

Yep, that's me too. Life would be so much better if I could save my life beforehand, so to speak.

Wow, I think that nearly all the time!

Stupid paper books don't have a search function... the index only rarely suffices.
oh, and the "I'll edit it later" mentality doesn't work with pen and paper either, you've got to re-write the whole damn thing...

E-jup, although only once so far.

And I did think ctrl+z...
That's when I decided to cut back on my photoshopping

Play "Prince of Persia, Sands of Time".

The game is worth it just for the punchline near the end. And the game itself is all about ctrl-z. =)

God damn it, you can't grep dead trees.

A friend of mine was wishing he could record his entire life, and have it turned into a script. Basically, so he could search it and find information. =)

CTRL+Z, baby, the savior of my ass on many occasions. No, what I do sometimes is I find myself wishing I had a mute button.
