Sorry, this is real life

Anyone who plays computer games, uses photo editing software, or is a 3d graphics designer will know what I'm talking about here.
When you use a computer for long enough, you get used to the idea of being able to 'undo' many things. With RPG games, I am constantly reloading a previous saved game if my character dies, or I've messed up somewhere. The same applies when editing photos, make a mess up? Ctrl + Z and your problem solved. Typed the wrong thing? Ctrl + Z.
For anyone who still doesnt know what I'm talking about, Ctrl +Z is the shortcut for undoing your previous move/ error. The problem comes in when you get so used to having this feature under your belt that you forget it doest apply to real-life situations.
One of my best friends back in CT feels the same way; i.e. when a girls response is 'WHAT!!??' instead of what you were expecting, Ctrl +Z would be really nice to have, unfortunately we need to learn that it only applies to the world of silicon chips and pixels.
