You consider Iceland to be a viable vacation destination

You make a mental note of who you consider to be reds, neuts and blues in your workplace

You refer to coffee and other stimulating drinks as cap boosters

You get in a traffic jam and start swearing about how time dilation is about to kick in

You hate the rapper Drake for a reason other than his music, his appearance or who he is as a person

You have a seperate clock on your phone that is set to EVE time

Mall parking lots remind you of Jita

You spent $250 on a Playstation 3 just so you can play DUST

You're always half tempted to tell a stranger that if he gives you 5 bucks you will triple it

You own a lego rifter

You wonder how many high slots are on the ship in the movie Wall-E

You accidentally say 23/7 instead of 24/7

You yell at your children "Fail fit" when they put their shoes on wrong

You align to fire exits in case of emergency

Come home from a night at the bar and see a police checkpoint and think ah crap gate camp.

While looking at the price of something in a grocery store and think I wonder what the price in another region is.

While on the interstate a car speed by you and you think ah a scout.

I always call my email, evemail even in client meetings.

You sign your work email with your EVE name

You go o/ in the chat window to the guy who posses your computer from IT

When you say "Roger" to your boss instead of "ok" (Guilty)

When you tell your kids who are making too much noise that its closed coms

When you explain to your girlfriend that the quickest way to the recently booked holiday destination is to take the jump bridge

You tell your other half you can have sex ALL night because you are cap stable.

You tell your mates in a busy pub to find somewhere to stand and "anchor on Dave"

You tell your colleague that his recent securing of an important contract was full of win.

You are watching a TV programme about the years most prolific celebrities and wonder why The Mittani didnt get a mention.

When your wife refers to EVE as "that stupid game".

When setting up international meetings, you are the one everyone counts on to figure out scheduling because you know what the relative time differences between AU/NZ, west coast, east coast, UK, Germany and (western) Russia without looking it up.

When your alarm clock is set to make the "target locking" sound to wake you up fast.

When your wife starts knowing the names of the pilots in your Alliance and asks how they are doing.

You call your female partner Aura in bed and ask her to say dirty things to you like, "Warp drive, active."

And if she's not in the mood, all she has to say is, "You are unable to jump because you are warp scrambled."



*kodos to the lawn alliance for these, thought id spread the fun a bit further

Your turn...

When you have a car crash, jump out and run off to avoid being podded.

When your boss calls you in for an explanation and the first thing that comes to mind is "Because of Falcon."

When you run out of money and ask your mum if you can borrow some isk.

When someone asks you where you were and you say "Sorry I was afk."

Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.

You sit down, turn on your computer, and you've logged in and not realised

You start to look like your toon

You call primaries instead of priorities at work

You realize you cant use repair paste on your car (they overheat worse than spaceships!!)

When you wake up thinking oh holy **** I am in the middle of the woods? Wait no, no, get meat. No god dammit, that's your alarm clock, you are in real life. Don't worry about zombies or bandits.

Edit: Man, I was hoping at least a few DayZ players would see this =\

Dude, there's absolytely nothing wrong with being a tarblack-tanned blonde midget. But being petty about it by trying to make others feel bad about themselves is a totally different story. You should feel bad and awkward! Twisted

They ransomed me for € 300, and respected the ransom.

You look for Quafe in vending machines

You look for the cloak when going past police

You click to talk on the phone

You relate your car to an Eve ship

You ask your friends if they want to go hotdrop the local takeaway

If you go to a take away ever again it is known as hotdrop o’clock

When giving directions you say “align to” “take the next jump” “warp to” and refer to distances in AU

You sign a cast “should of fitted a DCU”
