You always find yourself pressing the pause button when something's going too fast on the computer.

Even worse:

You find yourself moving your finger in the same way you would if you could press the pause button in situations in real life when things go too fast.

I actually do both sometimes...

You rapidly grab the last cornflakes on the shelves of a small store before someone else because of the previous
 
You tell your child "in order to reduce those badboy points for breaking the lamp you must release two birthday presents from your wish list."

You tell people you did poorly on the exam because you didn't expend enough research points.

You tell the judge the accident was not your fault because the other driver was uncivilized.

You buy a motor boat and display it in your swimming pool in order to increase your prestige.

You claim part of your neighbour's yard because it contains the same species of ants that your yard contains.

You turn one of your rooms into a workshop and try to sell home-made clothes, furniture and paper.
