A female newsreader on TV yesterday had very "bouffant" hair that just didn't look right, and I wanted to click it and click the -.05 button. Whenever I check out googlemaps street view, I try to alt view inside the places I used to live or work or visit. If I see someone interesting on the bus or in the street, it ticks me off I can't just click on them to pull up their profile. And when I've been waiting for a bus for what seems like hours I just wish one of those driverless vehicles that patrol the Linden mainland would happen on by then I could hop on board.

So many times, on all kinds of software including browsers, photoshop, video playback and, recently, grabbing for a non-existant ctrl-alt-mouse combination on a friend's digital photoframe to see what was just off the edge of the picture.
