You know you've played AO too long when:

[__________FinalChram]

...When you end up in the hospital because u lost movement in your hand. You leave your house and ask a jogger for a run buff so you can get there quicker. when you are in the emergancy room you ask the doctor for an +80 treatment.

[Ravicor]

When you see a fine looking member of the opposite sex.....walk up to them and start doing /pulp.

When you decide its better to take a blade to a gunfight.

When someone uses the word slag in context and you find yourself covering your ears and screaming no! no! no! no! don't say that!

When you ask the guy at the gunstore where they keep the basic implants.

When the name funcom is spoken you cringe.

When you start asking around why ya can't see peoples names above their heads.

When posting on the forum is more fun than doing a mission.

..when this forum acts as a "quick fix" to your addiction when you are unable to play AO (yup. that's me. RIGHT now)

...when friends have to log on to AO and give you a /tell, since it's the only way to reach you. (LOL! this actually happened: He doesn't play AO anymore, but created a 7-day trial, to log on and give me a tell, where he told me to hook up my phoneline again so he could call me about some important stuff. )

- You call AAA and ask if your membership includes map upgrades

- You come across an accident where a pedestrian was hit by a car and you try to loot the corpse

- You consider whether you'd be able to attack a police officer with a banjo and prevail (watched this in-game once; it was hysterical)

- You're at an Italian restaurant, order spaghetti and meatballs, try to get one meatball to attack a waiter, and try to get another meatball to heal the first one

- You go car shopping and ask to see the lowest quality models available

- Whenever you see someone get out of a car, you point and say, "Look how tiny that makes him."

rofl!

1) When you walk into a new nightclub, and want to shout "LFT!"

2) When you see three women near the bar, and wonder how you can "pull" one without aggroing the other two.

3) When you poke your head into a nice restaurant, and tell your date "First room's clear".

4) When you get the big bill for dinner, and you wish you could "calm" your waiter and dash for the door...

[_____________Hithorn]

....when you bend your knees and walk in an akward motion right in front of people, hoping that you are invisable

This actually works if you work in a cubicle environment, you can sneak right past your boss' office on your way back from Hooters 2 hours late from lunch

[Demenzia]

... When you're at work, posting on the boards or whatever else when supposed to work, and you keep on checking if your boss is sitting at his desk because from there, he has no LoS to spot what you're doing
