- That moment before you right before fall asleep you start dreaming in ASCII.
- You stop checking things because you already know them. By heart. Forever.
- You start developing challenge games. And you play them.
- You post things like this on this forum.

- when you open any doors, you always stand to the side, not in front
- when you pick something up at work or home, you immediately drop it just to see if you can, so that you know if it's cursed or not
- when you go through a long tunnel, you only make one step and wait to be magically moved to the end. Unless somebody steps too close, then you stop
- when you are surprised that you've been doing things for a few hours and yet you are not hungry
- you are surprised that newspapers and hardcover books don't disappear after you're done reading them

You think of ADOM messages like "You open the door", "You climb downwards" or "You hear the sound of rushing water" when those things happen in real life.
When you go out, you don't mind carrying tons of stuff in your backpack, because it will train your strength - but only to 180% of the average person.
You wonder what your stats, DV and PV would be in ADOM terms, and are surprised at the disparity between the purchasing power of gold pieces in Ancardia vs. reality (as well as how less dense gold is in-game).
When food tastes bad, you think it was cursed.
With proper preparation, drinking from pools until they're dry and indiscriminate gambling seem like a very good idea.

- You eat rations weighing 10 kilos. You're now satiated. 20 minutes later, you're hungry again.
- You spend time in the woods raising wild herbs, then eat them to make you healthier and your mind "clearer".

- When you have a deadline, you find yourself measuring the remaining time in turns rather than calendar time. (Happened to me a week ago, too much ADOMPossible)

- you ask your local library if they have "Spellbook of Wish"
- you suggest your carpenter you'll take him to the healer's
- around any sports arena, you try to find "ratling traders" so you can buy cooked lizards
- depending on your race, you try to buy loaves of elven or dwarvish bread in your local bakery

You are frightened by license plate beginning 'ACW' and decelerate to lure vehicle away.

When you use a flamethrower to cook meat instead of oven.

-when you watch a League of Legends championship and call Karthus "Keethrax"
-when you react on corpses lying everywhere by putting in earplugs

On your first visit to a new town, you immediately try to find a young child to talk to.

Then you go and visit the chief of police.

I live in Sierra Leone. Both of these are true. (To be fair the children come to me, unlike one super annoying red t...)

You keep 5 marbles with you at all time and when you see a fire you scream "ELEMENTAL ANOMALY" and throw the red marble in.

You spend most of the church service (or synagogue, or mosque, or whatever) eyeing the altar nervously, and trying to guess the alignment of the people around you.

When your response to any stranger you meet is to kill them, take their items and eat their corpse.

My most favorite quote from that old compilation it's:
"You start your own business, but whenever anybody comes in and picks something up, you physically block the door and make threatening comments."

You're surprised to learn that opening a store does not have a requirement that you can sprint like a cheetah and punch through a concrete wall.
