This dates back to your childhood and you've been traumatized ever since. You tried to "ESC"ape but couldn't, and now your subconscious wants you to succeed in what you couldn't early in life. THAT, or you might be working on an application that either has 4 screens that exit through ESC each, or 4 consecutive dialog boxes that have "cancel" buttons.
Wrong, it is because of the nature of the ESC button to be mashed multiple times on TV / Movies when things go wrong. We tend to overdramatize things and when we get frustrated we try to overcompensate by taking it out on that poor button at the top left of the keyboard.
LOL. Thank you, Dr. MoesPhilTavern19. It takes you to the end of the current line and, if you use Ctrl with it, sends you to the end of the current document. Contrary to popular belief, it does NOT end bad relationships. It requires a combination of other keys for that to work.
"To start, press any key." Where's the "any" key?! I see Kuh-tor-ull, Esc, and Pig-Up, but I don't see the "Any" key! Woah, all this computer hacking is making me thirsty, I think I'll order a tab. (Presses Tab key) Ooh, too late for that now, the computers starting!

...like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry costs a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. 'Give me five bees for a quarter,' you'd say. Now, where were we? Oh, yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get were those big, yellow ones...
That's called a tilde. It's the HOME DIRECTORY pointer for us UNIX guys as in " www. yourlinuxhost . com / ~ yourusername "... or the necessary punctuation for the "ñ" for us Mexican guys as in "Oscar came back to The Office and Ryan had lemoñade for him"... or... the round-up thing for us MATH guys... "this file is about ~1Mb"... damn, I can't believe I fit into all those... I'm such a g33k... damn. Mulder had it. Well, for what it's worth, I guess I could add that if you want an "ñ" in MS Word, you do Ctrl+~ and then type the n.
