wow...that is some genius work right there, i too have experienced this effect in work + social situations sooo many times, i may actually stop claiming to use 'the force™' now i have some proper theory to spread.

im favouring the assumptions theory the most, as i do naturally think the way technology tends to work, others around me dont. im constantly having to tell co-workers (who are all geniuses in their own way, even if that way is making a luvvly cup of coffee) not to bang the mouse on the desk when the screen is lagging or not to click print 50 times, instead of trying to work out why clicking it once did not work. to them its an obvious train of thought , pointer on screen is sticking, pointer controlled by mouse, punish mouse...bang bang.

lol I wish I had a positive influence on the flow of electrons though, that would be awesome and probably top of the Cv , right after my name... jamie smith (influencer of electron flow) lol
