Do you get annoyed when people overuse your computer discoveries?

You're probably asking "What does that mean?", so I'll give an example.

A few years ago, in my school (they used Mac computers), I realized that if you type Command-Option-Control-8, the screen got inverted. Then, since I never told anyone, somebody must have realized it by themselves too, so they have some credit. But then, the idea spread rapidly. Soon, everyone was using it with the computers, and I got annoyed with it quickly.

Has this ever happened to you? Are you annoyed with it? Discuss.

Re: Do you get annoyed when people overuse your computer discoveries?

Guess what I'm going to be doing all the time now.   tongue

But I can understand why that would be annoying.  I flipped all the Window's computers screens upside-down and logged them out in a learning center once, now the whole school does it everywhere.

I don't blame you -- it's cool when it's not overused. I'm also curious how quickly this will spread over Scratch.

I'm not sure I would recommend that -- do it at your own risk.

Re: Do you get annoyed when people overuse your computer discoveries?

Once in elementary I used alt codes to make ♥ while typing a mothers' day poem.
Everyone went crazy and asked me how I did it.
I told them and then everyone started doing it.
I don't recall being annoyed though

Ahh... That reminds me of another one. Fonts. Font names spread quickly, especially the handwriting ones.

Re: Do you get annoyed when people overuse your computer discoveries?

I don't get annoyed, but one time I accidentally activated Sticky Keys during Tech. class. Soon, the whole room burst into this annoying pop-up message. It was kinda funny.

Re: Do you get annoyed when people overuse your computer discoveries?

Yes. I don't wanna sound arrogant, but I'm probably the best at computers in my class. I discovered loads of cool stuff, like inverting the screen, rotating the screen, holding the enter key to temporarily freeze it. Since I'm a bit of a weirdo though, people refuse to believe I discovered them.

Never let anyone on XP do ctrl + alt + right.

I think this feeling isn't limited to discoveries made exclusively on computers
