When someone says "What did you say?" you reply "Scroll up!"
You find yourself sneaking away to the puter in the night when your spouse is asleep.
You turn down the lights and close the blinds so people won't know you're online.
You know more about online friends' daily routines than you do your own spouse's.
You find yourself lying to others about your time online
When they complain that your phone was busy you claim it was "off the hook."
<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You have an identity crisis if someone is using a screen name close to your own.
You would rather tell people that your bloodshot eyes are from partying too much than the truth.
You change your screen name so much that you have to keep notes to know who you are.
You type messages to people while you are on the phone with them at the same time.
You won't work at a job that doesn't have a modem involved.
Your dog leaves you.
