Top 10 Annoying Things about Dating a Programmer  
PEOPLE 

Tags: programmers, the web, geeks, computers

You're a geek groupie from the word "go". You've dated programmers, lived with programmers...maybe even married a programmer. And you love them to pieces, but still, there are just a few little...quirks...that get under skin. Like the following:

	He insists on rebuilding your computer from auto parts and whatever he can find in the kitchen. This is called "optimization".
	She's great with people, if you can drag her away from the computer. You can never drag her away from the computer.
	He writes random bits of code on napkins whenever they occur to him. Often this is in the middle of a visit with your parents. It is almost never during an episode of Baywatch.
	When you call her at work, she really *is* busy and can't take your call.
	When you attend his office Christmas party, most of the conversations are in a language you can't even pretend to understand.
	She's refers to the real world as "meat space" and to sex with you as "user interface".
	He's snide about your love of Internet Explorer and can hold forth for hours on the superiority of Firefox.
	Even though she's currently programming the back end of yet another dating website, she's convinced that everything she's doing is revolutionary.
	One word: Aspberger's.
