I know, we've had this thread before, but I thought of some new ones!  You know youre addicted to SL when... Someone tells you a joke and you launch into a full-blown belly laugh instead of your usual chuckle... You worry about falling out of the plane when flying across neighbouring counties... You think old people walking about in town have bad lag...and then they look at you like youre a nutter when you ask "whats your ping?"... You have trouble sitting exactly where you want to... You stand there pointing at your coffee-mug instead of simply picking it up... You try to tear down your house in protest over your income tax... You half expect your feet to rotate 180 degrees when standing on uneven ground... You keep making typing gestures while talking to your boss... You keep trying to MUTE your boss... You keep trying to neg-rate your boss... You have several large spheres and a cube messing up your back yard... You spend part of your workday thinking of interesting/funny things to post on the SL forums...

You're friend wants to tell you a joke but your other friend doesn't want to hear it, so you right click him to IM him for the joke...

Eddie, you're too funny! I was sitting at my desk bored outta my skull and just about fell over when I read your post. Thanks for the laugh that had me grabbing my stomach rocking back and forth. Um, no wait, my av does that. I did laugh though!

...you start to trade calling cards with new people you meet then you realize you don't have any.
...you start changing clothes in public like it's no big deal.
...you're shopping and see an outfit you like then think "nah..i'll just make my own" when you see the price.

When you see something really cool and then realize they dont take SL money IRL.

...you start referring to your weekly paycheck as a stipend, and wonder where the bonus is.
...you wish you could upload textures to your ol' couch, maybe spruce it up a bit.
...you slump your head over while standing, in an effort to go "AFK" from your body.

You wander past a house that looks like a yellow prefab and out of the corner of your eye, see something poking out of the bushes. "Hey, a voting station!" That was when I started getting worried.

--when you always accidently hit esc when chatting on an instant messenger
--when you point your hand at the table and try to rez your breakfast
--when you try to figure out how your pet was scripted
--when you see an ugly person you and you wonder why they picked that av
--when you think you are as rich as you are in SL
--when you can't ever play another game normally because you keep hitting all the keys used in SL
--when you keep turning out all your lights to avoid the light tax

- When you try to use alt-zoom to look around / behind walls instead of walking into the other rooms of your house... (In my groggy state waking up this morning I actually tried to do this... hehe) Funny thread... |

...When you grow evil devil horns and flames of hell-fire sprout up behind you as you start to go into an evil rant whenever someone near you says the word "there".

When you get frustrated with your contacts/glasses because the alt-zoom feature is broken and you can't zoom in on traffic signs half a mile ahead.
