I was fired from a job for knowing too much about computers. The IT guy didn't like me fixing them, so when we switched from Macs to PCs, he tasked me with moving everything over, neglected to mention a key task, and called corporate to get me out of there.

My older son just got back from college for Thanksgiving break. We had his younger brother run up to him and give his XBox 360 a hug since he hadn't seen it in three months! They're not the closest of siblings...

Bought a new smartphone for my parents for Christmas 2010. I didn't know that they were not able to send or receive phone calls for two weeks after, because they didn't know how to operate the phone.......They got rid of their old phone for the new one, but were too embarressed to ask how to use it....ha ha

One of my co-workers starting messing with my mini desktop galaga during a conference call - of course he hit the on button and we had to explain to the client what that noise was!

I had to teach the secretary responsible for taking ID pictures at the VA how to use her dSLR. That was a moment filled with a lot of facepalming on my part.
My best friend also marveled about his own nystagmus while drunk, does that count too or is that more of a nerdy moment?

My friends and I thought it'd be cool to have fibre cables that light up so we can see where they're going since they're always so long.

Bought a sansa clip+ and thought it was broken, because the screen was dim and frozen. I finally figured out the screen was covered with a protective sticker that made it look like it was on.

Some paper and pencil roleplaying - according to a prophecy our characters had different roles assigned. One of them was the sceptic. Everyone concluded that would be me - my comment: "I am not certain about that"

Going Christmas shopping for other people then seeing the brand new DVD ROM drives with "talking encyclopedia" included instead of buying other people things I ended up spending $500 on the DVD ROM drive because I wanted to be the first of my friends to have one.

When my coffee mug warmer died, my coffee got cold, and I had to leave the office to go buy a new one. Made perfect sense to me and still does. To a few others, not so much. Oh well.
