6.) Planning on eating item X in your fridge and only realizing when you pull it out that it is moldy/wilted/otherwise inedible.

9.) Being deeply involved in programs no one else has heard of

10.) Being the person who tells an involved story about those programs despite every else's utter lack of interest
