You know you've been SDMBing too much when...

You find yourself running out of cigarettes all the time now because you smoke them all while reading post after post after post after post of five-page threads that you need to catch up on because you’re new or someone expected you to actually be at work or clean something and you’re too damn lazy to go get cigarettes so you end up smoking butts even though they’re gross and then you suddenly notice that you have just written the longest damn sentence in your life, of course, making you smile so coolly. :cool:

you have screenshots of the ‘neat’ post counts. you know, the nice round ones :slight_smile: I have them pretty evenly divided between home and school, depending where I was at the time.

Well, SDMB isn’t the only board I hang out on :eek:, and I use VunderBob just about everywhere I go, so this one isn’t a stretch.

Even worse, I had an erotic dream starring FairyChatMom

I had a dream in which I was at a library and found (and read) the book version of a movie which had just been discussed in Cafe Society. Part of what made it funny was that I wasn’t sure that the movie in question had a book version and even if it did, it would not appeal to me. Nor had I ever seen (or will I ever see) the movie.

You open your e-mail every few hours to find 34 new messages - and they’re ALL from your subscribed threads.

You use things like IANAD and IMHO in e-mails to friends, who write back to you with a “huh?”

You now realize that the rest of the Internet exists for the sole purpose of backing up SDMB posters with links and cites.

Oh my, that’s disturbing! :eek: :eek: :eek: You’ll understand if I don’t make eye contact if we ever meet…

:smiley:

I thought I was the only one who did this.

On two occasions I have had a dream where something pissed me off and the first thing I thought in the dream was, “boy, am I ever going to write a hell of a Pit thread about this as soon as I get home!”

When I put bolding tags around people’s names when emailing them.

You have a list of Dopers you wanna meet and periodically review it to see if names need to be added or deleted.

The first and last thing you do each day is check the boards.

You are impatient every Monday morning waiting for Rue’s MMP thread to be posted.

I don’t think that will be a problem,FCM. When we meet, you’ll see that my most commonly used contraceptive is my personality.
:smiley: :wink:

When you go outside and are hit by blinding sunlight, you shreik like a coal mining pony being led into the brightness for the first time.
Everytime you let a SBDfart rip in a public place, you think of Lieu.

Everytime you use a public restroom to do some serious pooping business, you cannot help but think of all the rules about ‘courtesy flushing’ and whether or not it is in bad form to play video games or talk on the phone while pooing.

Oh good god yes. Damn that bright light, I’m sure it must be wasting someone’s electricity.

I’ve only had one SDMB related dream, and it was pretty tame. Clearly I don’t spend enough time here :slight_smile:

Argh, case in point. :o

… when you learn to use Preview Post

You had the tame dream?

Out tanding!

Do I tound funny?

…When your employees start asking you about the web page that seems to be up on your screen all day.

“It’s…uh…a research tool.”
It was all I could think of.

God, that’s good.

So, like maybe you need a break from Great Debates?

Yes.

Yes, but driving home in the car.

I was thinking of a thread just today. A kid in my english class asked what I was laughing at. I could not say because it was this: Melons: A Master Wang-Ka classic.

I swear I did this for the first time this morning and gave myself a welt on my forehead for good measure. :o

When someone at work irritates you, and you growl, “I burning your dog,” and he looks at you like you’ve lost your mind… :confused:
