    You know you're a geek when you end up teaching PC or Gadget store technicians how to properly set up the stuff they're selling.

    ... you've never had a girlfriend in real life.
    ... you spend countless hours online gaming.

    You know you're a geek if people call you up to ask your opinion on buying electronics... even if it's only a keyboard. ("It's a keyboard, man! They're all the same! Leave me alone!")

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    You know you are a geek when you go to the gadget store to test your knowledge against the technicians working there.

    Not just electronic stuff, but nerdy stuff in general.

    Don't ask

    Oh wait, geek? No not me, but I can quite become technical when answering questions from friends. Nerdy is better hehe

    You know you are a geek if... you've never had a girlfriend in real life and spent much time on virtual girls, Dating Sims and Hentai Games...

    the guy could have use only one monitor on a workstation though...

    you know you're a geek if you never had a girlfriend, doesnt have any social life, the only magazine you knew are science journals, your best friends are the insects inside your house, and you spend all of your waking hours in your mom's basement playing electronic/computer games, or posting on different forums or simply tinkering on new gadgets and applications.

    Oh man! I can also relate! (Insert Revenge of the Nerd laughter here)

    You know you're an uber-geek if you get annoyed when somebody asks you advice on buying electronics which you consider very trivial.

    Officemate: "Bro, what's a good keyboard to buy?"
    You: "Ano gusto mo, wireless? Wired? Usb? May media keys? And brand...Logitech? Microsoft?"
    Officemate: "Nothing fancy, yung regular lang. Atchaka ayoko ng mahal. Budget ko < 200-300php lang."
    You: (gives an exasperated sigh)Naknangtinapay! Bili ka na lang ng kahit anong keyboard na makita mong nasa price range na yan.
    Officemate: "Ows? Baka naman hindi gumana yan sa computer ko."
    You: Ano ba computer mo? May USB port ba yon o regular keyboard port lang?
    Officemate: "Computer ko? Penchoom."
    You: (sigh) "May USB ba o wala?"
    Officemate: "Ewan"
    You: Ahmm...mahina ako diyan eh. Buti pa dalhin mo na lang yung buong computer mo sa tindahan at ipatesting mo na lang yung keyboard na gusto mong bilhin.
