A long long time ago, one of my university friends described this incident. They were doing a group assignment, and pages after pages were being typed down. There were 3/4 people in the group, and one of them was a good for nothing fellow, who failed to contribute in any way. So as a last resort, he was given the typing job. But he declined to "not" live up to his fame. He turned out to be a very error prone and slow typist. However, after a long time, a volume of text became visible in the screen (with the usage of the scroll bar, of course). Now my friend decided to proof read the 12 something pages.
Then comes the interesting part. While reading, my friend and the other members indulged intop some interesting discussion, and absent mindedly, my friend pressed ctrl+A (select all) and delete. Still remaining in "absent mind" state, he clicked on the "close window" button, and got the prompt "do you want to save changes for blah blah blah file name?", he clicked on yes, and looked at the others with an innocent look. Some of them didn't realize anything, while some looked back with horro in the eyes. Seeing the horror, the dude quickly eralized that he did a terrible thing, absent mindedly(!). So there was no turning back, the file was blanked, erased and saved :-D
I wonder whether the subconscious mind motivated him to delete the "bullshit" 12 pages, or was it really an act of absent mind. Maybe some psychologist will be interested in this story.
So there was nothing to write about my life today....sigh.
