When i used to work retail, i got pretty good at 10-keying (typing in a LOT of ISBNs). i never had to look at the keyboard.
one day, as a joke, i switched the 123 keys with the 789 keys. so instead of being
789
456
123
i made it look like
123
456
789
several people got mad at me, because they had to look to type.
then about a month later, they decided to "get" me by doing the same thing. I guess they didn't realize i didn't look, because when my shift was about half over, someone asked me how i liked it. I had to honestly tell them i never even noticed they were switched.
There are only two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors
