SIDE EFFECTS of working in IT sector!!! Hilarious… But many of have faced it

Harry
few days back I slept at 11:30 in the ni8 and woke up in the morning at
7:00 and suddenly thought that I haven't completed 9.15 hours and laughed
at myself when I realised abt that.

Jyotsna
One from me too...
Just after our training completion in Washington Dc and postings to Detroit, me
and my friends went out for dinner in one of the best restaurants..
And as I finished.. I started walking towards the Basin with plates in my
hand.. :)

Abhijeet
Jus to add...
Once I was on call with my father and mom was not around. I went on to ask,
"why is she not attending the status call?"

Anup
I don't login to orkut, yahoo, gmail, youtube, etc.. at my personal
internet connection at home... thinking it will be blocked any way.
Till I realize - I am at home.

Rohit
Yeah sometimes it do happens with me also............while writing personal
mails also.........I jus use the way as if I am writing to onsite or some
senior person........
Jus forget that we are jus mailing our friends..............
And keeping hands in front of tap for waiting water to drop by itself is
very frequent with me...............I jus forget that we have to turn on
and off the tap...........

Nidhi
Awesome!!
Once after talking to one of my friend. I ended the conversation saying
..." Ok bye...in case of any issues will call u back"
(Hilarious!)

Samaaira
Sometimes when I mistakenly delete a message
from my mobile, I hope for a second, maybe its in the recycle bin

Farina
I was about to throw my hanky into the bin after drying my hand.

Bhabani
Once I was flashing my ID card instead of unlocking the door with the keys.

Nisha
Kinda a same experience for me too..
I gave my office mail id and pwd to access Gmail and wondered when did they
become invalid???

Sandy
I have a experience to share tooo .. I was earlier working at the back
office of an international Bank. We used to 'dispatch' lot of Credit /
Debit cards and statements for the customers and track its delivery later.
Once my granma was admitted in a hospital, my team mate once casually asked
me " howz ur granma doing now ? still in hospital ? " ... and i replied to
her " She is better now , she will dispatched from the hospital tomorrow !"
This was followed by a loud laugh in the entire bay !

Sandeep
Once I went to a pharmacy n asked for a tab....pharmacist asked whr I want
250mg r 500mg.....suddenly I replied as 256mg...lol....thank god he didn't
noticed tht....

Ashwin
Me getting a thought of doing an Alt+Tab while switching from a news
channel to the DVD while watching TV.

Vidyarthi
And I - after a forty hour marathon in Doha with Powerbuilder,
decided to take a break and went to a movie. In the middle of the movie,
when I wanted to check the time, I kept repeatedly glancing at the bottom
right corner of the silver screen!

Venu
Few of my friends and myself decided to go out for dinner. The place wasn't
fixed yet. I said we shall decide it "run time"

Krishna
When I went to a movie theatre from office directly.. I showed the guy at
the entrance my ID card and walked in... he had to call me back asking the
ticket...

Rama
One late night when I went home after work, I was trying to flash my id
card to open the lock and only after few secs, I realised what i'm trying
to do

Sridhar
Once I went to have juice at the local juice vendor and innocuously asked
him whether he had a plain 'version' of lemonade.

Arun
Few years back my shogun engine stopped on Delhi Road as the petrol
came to reserve. I told my friend I need to restart my bike!

Satya
The other day I was hearing one guy talking of a "Standalone" house.. when
he was actually intending a independent house... Poor broker should have tuff
time trying to find a " Alone house standing in a huge empty area... "
don't know what interpretations the guy must have made.
