My setup guarantees that I get at most one:
"WTF...oh...Dvorak. Here, you type."

Bahaha!
My XMonad setup is pretty crazy. On top of that, I've remapped a bunch of common keys like super, control, caps lock, and escape. I posted a cheat sheet by my monitor and people still refuse to even attempt to use the thing.

I re-read this after the fact and it comes off as being particularly arrogant/ivory tower nerd-ish. I was just trying to demonstrate to 90% of the population my system is unusable. I work in IT and everyone at work thinks it's disgusting.
I find that my swapped CAPS-LOCK and CTRL keys are enough to boggle most people who try to use my machine.
Ha ha that's an old bone you dug up there, even so I recognize a few of those personalities in my present-day co-workers.
Hell, I recognize a number of them in myself.
I can definitely relate to "GNU". As a long-time Linux user, I remember the first time I sat down at an OS X machine and wanted to blow away a directory tree. "rm * -rf", I typed. "rm: -rf: No such file or directory", it replied.
I then learned how to build and install the GNU utilities.

I actually did pretty much the same thing. I had a solaris account at school and ended up filling half of my space on the server with gnu utilities because I didn't feel like learning Sun's "almost-right" utilities.
So many of these apply to me it's a bit scary

What's it mean when you fit into several of these?
Ha ha ha quote for truth with me! Every time someone starts using my computer, I check to see how good my set up is doing based on the number of WTFs per minute.
