and it is true starcraft on, a program without hotkeys is freaking annoying.. I have seriously uninstalled several programs for not having hotkeys... I then download alternatives to them. :D
Well I haven't actually uninstalled programs for this (at least I can't remember doing that), but I certainly started using hotkeys a lot more frequently. It really disturbs me when a program has no decent hotkeys (or documentation of them).
Recently I was writing something in the Monopoly City Streets blog and I noticed that the text editor had the WORST keyboard support I had ever seen. No ctrl-a, no page up/down, NO ARROW KEY SUPPORT!!! Luckily they seem to have noticed how I was infuriated by this and fixed it.
Seriously, clicking at the spot where you want to edit your text is ridiculous.

I spam my desktop with squares; not subconsciously, but because I feel like just must do it. X_X
But the thing I find my self thinking about the most every day is (not hot-key related though): how come everybody around me isn't into SC? I constantly find my self wanting to talk to my friends about this amazing game, but I can't. :S - Teach me Korean and send me on a plain please.

i actually do a lot of what was posted here before even playing sc...
box select on desktop.. mass right click..
msn in broken sentences, mass highlighting text that i read..
multitasking by watching movies, msn and playing other games like minesweeper at same time..
but one thing sc has made me do i guess is ctrl/shift + hotkey faster

I do this with text on a page, selecting paragraphs and sentences randomly. I suppose it's helpful to remember where I am on the page when I'm reading long articles? I dunno.

I think I do it to get a feel for my mouse calibration, and maybe because we implicitly concentrate on what's in the box.
I control group my scouting units and workers in civ 4 and check them every turn.

Oh yeah, I hate it when I jump on a public computer at a library and the sensitivity is like waaaaaaay high.

Not starcraft hotkeys, but often times when looking through my textbook, i want to ctrl+f to find a vocab word.

i think starcraft shattered my attention span - i can't just stay on one thing very long even if it's a movie or something. at the very least i'll be tabbing around and monitoring other programs for the slightest change. i even tab in and out during the build times of my first few workers sometimes, just because watching that progress bar can be so BORING =]
no you're just lazy.
very lazy.
i have gained nothing from starcraft as i have yet to gain anything from actually playing starcraft, results pending of course.

I got better with strategic thinking in general, prioritizing and very good at keeping track of several things at the same time.
I also got very good at paying attention to tiny details since in starcraft you must be pending on what is your opponent doing the whole time.
Of course other people would learn that from other places(even study or train those aspects of their life ) but in my case I got it from chess + starcraft.
I wouldnt qualify a player as lazy, specially in starcraft since it requires a lot of concentration and hard work (unless you play just for fun, then you surely wont get better on the things I mentioned just by playing 1 or 2 a week...)

I, like many others, spam selection boxes and right-clicks all the time.
That's not so bad though. Worse was when I played a lot of WoW; I remember thinking "why can't I see the contents of my backpacks with shift-b?" while walking on the street. What's worse, I remember one time when walking during the night, and seeing someone walking towards me: "shit! alliance! I'm going to get ganked!" At that time, I decided I should cut down my time in the game.

Starcraft has brought the famous word "NOOB" to my everyday vocabulary... Every time my girlfriend gag's I call her a "NOOB" and then good game u've been pwnd.

One time at work someone asked me.
"I'm looking for CD racks?"
And I thought. "CD Rax? What kind of Terran build is that?" And it took me a good 2-3 seconds to actually catch on that the question had nothing to do with Starcraft at all.

when i win swimming competitions, especially really long ones like the 1K, i like to wait in the pool and tell the 2nd place guy: GG NO RE (he's usually too exhausted to give a shit)
when my classmates discussed "voting 4 barack obama", i only pick up the 4 rax part
when i'm on my comp, and i'm organizing my files, i shift-click, but realize that windows adds everything diagonally down EVERY FUCKING TIME
when i eat pizza, i think about how hard it is to finally arrive at the mineral line (the crust)
when i watch sports on TV, i wished that Dark Swarm could be cast by the two teams
