You might be a programmer - Whitespace

If you call the empty road between cars "whitespace"...you might be a programmer.

I found myself doing this not too long ago. Driving on the freeway, stuck behind a set of nimrods driving 45 MPH when there's a half mile of empty road in front of them, without thinking, I yelled in frustration "Why are you driving so slow when there's all that whitespace in front of you!?"

For you non-programmers, whitespace is any space, tab, or line break in code. Some programming languages, like my specialty, C#, ignore whitespace completely, while some languages like Python use indentation and whitespace to define code behavior.
