Okay, this is kinda even worse heh.. Have to give you a little background to make sense of it. I used to play a mmorpg called DAOC as the character class druid. In fact I'd bet 10 bucks I'm the only 50 year old (then) to be the top rated player for any character class in that game for that server anyway (and first of any class on my server to 25k kills, and I had more tower and keep captures than any player across all 20+ servers for a couple years). This was about 6 years ago.

One of the spells a druid could cast was a "root" which would temporarily stop movement of another player within range.

So, I'm at the grocery store one time, during the peak of those playing years and you know how you get heading toward checkout and you're heading for a cashier with the short line and I see another guy heading toward the same line. As catches sight of me heading for the same line he speeds up (which I wouldn't do, I'm not that nutty) but I did catch myself making the keyboard pattern with my fingers which would cast the root spell on him.. lol.... Just for a couple seconds.. and I stopped dead and stood there stunned for a second and then started laughing out loud... heheh.. I know he thought I was nuts and of course he and no one else could have noticed what I was doing with my fingers.. But that was so funny..
