10 Annoying Habits of a Geeky Spouse

At Wired.com the Geek Dad has composed a list of the top 10 annoying habits of a geeky spouse. (His wife helped). Alas, for poor John Austin punning topped the list.

Others include:

2. Using “frak,” or Klingon, or both, instead of regular swear words

3. Weird or over-the-top ways of celebrating mainstream holidays

4. Dissecting movies

5. Wearing obscurely geeky T-shirts to “normal” places

6. Requiring extra room in the house for geeky things

7. Geeky toys and decorations can be hard to explain to kids (plush vorpal bunny?)

8. Looking up information while a discussion/argument is still in progress

Full story.

Uh. Do you or your significant other have any of these habits? Are there others you'd add to the list?
