    You know you've been playing STO too long when -

    - You stop at traffic accidents to look for gear drops which are Purple Quality.
    - You queue up with five random strangers to enter Wal Mart.
    - You put your boss on your 'Ignore' List.
    - You email H.R. to ask them how much dilithium it will cost to train up your new assistant in Windows 8.
    - You ask I.T. if there is a Mirror Universe copier.
    - When the company dress code changes Casual Friday to include, 'Tie - Optional', you always try for it.
    - You never get any closer than 5km to your co workers.
    - You get upset because the vehicles around you driving to/from work are always closer together than 5km.
    - You attempt to trade your husband/wife/fiancee/girlfriend/boyfriend/significant other for three Doffs of lower quality.
    - You think Tony Stark is a really cool Human Tactical Vice Admiral.

    You been stalking me again, Thunderfoot???

    Ummm...no. Would you please sit up straighter and speak clearly and distinctly in the direction of the surge protector. Psst! Hurry up! Your boss is coming down the hall.

    For me, I know I've been playing too much when I get a phone call in the middle of a mission and I answer it and try to rush through it as quickly as possible so my 40-second "pause" timer doesn't run out....

    When you refer to the new nametag-less guys at work "Red Shirts".. even when the uniform is most definitely blue

    You routinely ask for "Damage Reports" "Tactical reports" and tell your crew to "Arm Photons" and they do so without question.

    You make a thread called "you know you have been playing STO to much when..." and allow someone like me to answer it.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    ...You practice speaking Klingon every day. To finally get rid your Terran accent.

    ...You try to to convince your mechanic to upgrade the computer modules on your car.
    So your DPS is higher.

    ...You refuse to let your daughter craft dinner. Because her Skill Point level is below 500.

    ...Instead of housebreaking the new puppy, you decide to respec him.

    ...All of your pets are named after your favorite ship classes. Except for the goldfish. Because she hasn't contributed a single piece of dilithium to the Fleet Starbase.

    ..."Redshirt!" has become your favorite way of referring to people at work who annoy you.

    ...You find yourself watching the Voyager episodes with Species 8472 in them. Again. Because there may be tactical tips you missed the first fifty times you watched them.

    ...You are disappointed because the new doctor your health plan allows you to use is not a hologram.

    Your boss asks you to do a project, and you tell him we have no Purple staff members.

    You wonder how long it will take your duty officers to replace a dead light bulb (at work, home, traffic light, etc.)

    You know you've been playing STO too long when you like grinding Dilithium more than playing good foundry missions :-P

    ...the phrase "maximum warp" comes to mind as you're turning up to thermostat / stove to full.

    When you catch yourself hollering, "More power to the structural integrity field!" when the driver side leaf spring on your box truck blows at sixty miles and hour.
    If you are a pickle in a pickle jar you know every pickle's different, sort of, but really they're all just pickles...
    They taste the same.

    You think "loading the dishwasher" means getting your wife drunk.

    You mow the front lawn to find your car.

    You've ever been kicked out of the zoo for heckling the monkeys.

    Jack Daniels makes your list of most admired people.


    ...........What were we talking about?:confused:
