Wow, just saw this XKCD cartoon. I thought I was the only one who did this, my wife hates me doing it while I show her something on my laptop:

Does anyone else do this or am I on my own here on Geekzone?

Not me.

But I do have a habit of clicking on blank space, to make sure nothing is 'active' before I try and scroll around. Or even just because. And that can result in finding adverts that never loaded, and ending up going somewhere else.

I highlight some text at the bottom of a web page I am reading so I can quickly scroll up and see where to pick up and continue reading from.

But I don't get all offended if the shape is not symmetrical.

I just told my wife I started this thread, and she told me to stop highlighting the text on the page as I showed her.

She then told me to get a life.
