Here's a joke i got in email. Actually I think this one hit TOO close to home :)
You know you've been online too long when......
Tech Support calls "YOU" for help.
When you are reading something printed, you wish you could use a search function to get to the point.
Someone at work tells you a joke and you say "LOL."
When you reply to someone verbally, your fingers start typing your response.
You check your e-mail over and over, even when you know there's nothing there.
You watch TV with the closed captioning turned on.
You have called out someone's screen name while making love to your significant other.
You keep begging your friends to get an account so "we can hang out."
Three words: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
You've even gotten on an airplane just to meet "sweet_girl" face-to-face.
You have a vanity car tag with your screen name on it.
You have to get a 2nd phone line just so you can call Pizza Hut.
You no longer type with proper capitalization, punctuation, or complete sentences.
You have met over 100 onliners.
You begin to say "heh heh heh" instead of laughing.
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 again.
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 and 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 do a whois 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.
You bring a bag lunch and a cooler to the computer.
You type faster than you can think.
You can actually read and follow all the names of the cast that scrolls up your TV screen at the end of a movie.
You don't want to leave in case you miss something.
You set your kitchen on fire while cooking dinner because you wanted to check your mail and while there you "just wanted to see who was online"
Reading text written in ALL CAPS hurts your ears
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-
Ok, now count the number that were true, and if you have more than 10 of them, you know you're hooked.
LOL yep, i'm hooked! ;)
I'd say thanks to whoever sent me this email, but I can't remember anymore :(
Thanks to Synbad(GDC) for the "all caps" line :)
