Wasn't expecting this one when I woke up this morning, but... When you have a dream that involves ground texture clipping...

[Tw1]

When your first thought when looking at a lampshade, is that could be an engine bell...

has happened to me countless times, usually at work

[stupid_chris]

When you wake up in the morning and in this half asleep state after waking up, you are really really, worried that you won't be able to solve this building problem you we're having before calling it a night.

Seriously I tend to spend a lot of time in the VAB before going to sleep, and I wake up waaay too often way too worried about a problem I had the night before.

When I merge into traffic, I treat it like I'm docking with the car in front of me.

If I accidentally "dock" and the car in front of me gets damaged, I tell the other driver he needed more struts. [/joke]

I do tell people to add struts to something if it doesn't work right. They always look at me funny.

[Rockcoole]

When you get fired from Star Bucks because you said "The coffee maker didn't break into pieces, it was rapidly dissembled because of lithobreaking."

Or is that just me.

When you see this on Facebook:

And your brain immediately breaks it down into its kerbaly components before even recognising it as Curiosity.

[Feldynn]

When you watch Smokey and the Bandit the night before, read a post on the Steam forum where someone says if they don't play KSP less their life may turn into a country song and your brain immediately spits out:

Eve bound and down, loaded up space-truckin'.

We're gonna do what they say can't be done!

We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there

We're Eve bound, just watch them Kerbals run!

Keep your boosters on full power, no need to aerobrake!

Let it all hang cause we've got a run to make.

Kerbals are thirstin' out on Duna and there's beer somewhere on Eve,

And we'll bring some back matter what it takes!

Eve bound and down, loaded up space-truckin'.

We're gonna do what they say can't be done!

We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there

We're Eve bound, just watch them Kerbals run!

If you see something like this:

On a highway and you instinctively think: How the heck does that thing dock without RCS?

[JakeGrey]

When you spend more money than you can really spare on air-cooling equipment to keep your gaming rig going in a heatwave.

Walking up a steep hill, you think "Man, my TWR is to low. I need to shed some outer stages."

[Benie]

You're behind a row of cars. You have the urge to hit "[" then Esc and End Flight to get rid of them.

When you build that nice car, hop in and then yell "god dangit! I forgot to install MechJeb!"

When you're in your car and "I wonder how fast I'll go if I strap an aerospike engine on the back, like my Speed Rover".
