Do you ever click on Google Ads?

I've seen lots of discussions about people using AdSense in their blogs. This question is about the Google ads you see in other people's websites. Do you ever click on them?
I don't remember to ever have clicked on one, with the exception of those that appear on Google's results page, and even then not very often.
It's not that I have anything against the ads, it's just that I've developed a kind of sixth sense that makes me go right to the content and skip the rest, ads included.
Does this happen to anybody else, or am I weird??

yes .. now that i am more aware of them -
I have only clicked on a Google ad once. I clicked on it and bought a silver bracelet with my son's name on it. -
I think I've clicked on them only a few times. I look at them, but I skip over them most of the time. I really only click them when it's a store I know or a site I know or am interested in. -
@ontheroadto1m yep I think that is normal not to click on Google Ads. I think it is not because Google Ads but most of us dose not like the Ads in a web page. If you know its a ad by default you would skip it.
I have notice the Google AdSense earnings are quite law even you get lots of traffic that are more into computers and internet assuming they know how to differentiate ads and content.-
sjay you're correct, ads annoys everyone. But, sometimes some ads are like something you've been searching for.

not often, but there have been a few times. -
Most of the time no, but sometimes I see something interesting on them and click through. I can also browse sites without ever even noticing they're there, like on BC. -
No not ever. And I don't need a sixth sense nor will I allow my mind to be affected by subliminal advertising that I think I'm ignoring but is registering.
I use a Firefox browser like 47.4% of all those browsing the internet. It has AdBLock plus and a pop-up blocker. I do Not even see ads - Alleluia!-
Does the AdBlock block Google ads? I didn't know about that!

Most of the times Google Ads are invisible or so it appears to my brain. But if there is something interesting that catches my attention then I don't hesitate to click. -

-
nope.

Generally only if the advertiser is evil. -
Yes, I do, I find that if they're on a site I like and want to support, they are very relevant to my interests. -
Sometimes I see an ad that really pulls me in and I click on it. I would have to say though, usually I don't click on the ads on blogs. -
I have because i find it relevant to the content -
I almost instantly leave a page if I see more than a few ads. Its such a turn off for me. Your page becomes too cluttered and I hate clutter. -
Hell no! Google ads bother me in the extreme. Some sites have so much of the "Ads by Google" crap it is almost impossible to tell the real content. Not to mention the BS that google allows.

No wonder, those bloggers with google ads are earning less because nobody visit their ads. -
Perhaps adsense is becoming a bit of a victim of its own success in that its pervasiveness and on some sites overuse is turning many viewers off. -
i clicked google adsense at my friend internet connection. i click one until two. -
