When you call getting sucked into an office hallway conversation "getting bubbled."
Especially when that phrase starts becoming common usage amongst the non-EVE players in the office. (true )
And the coffe-pot becomes known as the "bubble camp." ( true )

When you think of your short boss moving about amongst the cubes at work as 'cloaked.'

When you see a speed trap and think "Gate Camp."

When you tink of the police as 'Concord.'

When you get cut-off in traffic and wonder why Concord didn't spawn.

When somone wipes out, you say "Ha! Podded!"

When your daughter ask you to stop playing 'Internet Space-y ships' so she can check her e-mail.
( Common event in my house )

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

You drive by a car wreck but instead of calling for help you jump out and start to loot the car of any worth while items.

When your coworker tells you they are quitting you ask if you can have there stuff.

When you start rating the appearance of the people on the floor above you.

Whenever something happens that you don't like you cry to god and tell him your about to quit life.

When your having a serious conversation with your coworker (who also plays EVE) about the situation in Egypt and your using The Mittani and Goons as a comparison.

When you refer to "the news" your referring to Eve news 24.

When you grow a beard, because your avatar as one.

When you drive around on garbage day looting other peoples cans.

When you boss asks you if you saw what the president said you go to Seleen's blog to check it out.

Also when you try and set up an intel channel with your coworkers so you can alert each other when the boss is prowling the office.

you immediately think "Pend Insurance" when shopping for new auto insurance.

you're convinced you actually cloned jumped after a hard night of drinking.

you're significant other tells you to stop playing with your "imaginary friends."

you don't consider your computer ready until at least one Eve client is up and running.

someone asks you about Eve Online and you're response is "How much time do I have to explain it?"

you've seriously considered putting your corp history in your RL resume.

you've watched the CNN financial feeds at the bottom of the screen and wondered where Noxium, Isogen, Megacyte etc. etc. are

Spend nine minutes explaining what you meant when you wrote "shiptoasting" in an e-mail reply.

"When you get into a car wreak and you jump out and sprint away in fear of getting podded."

Saw that one on countless bios >.<

You post in the yearly "You know you play eve too much when" thread on the eve forum, inferring that a thread of this type has consistently appear each year since 2004.

When you see a group of gangsters, staring at you. You think: 'Aw **** they're going to gank me'
When you go to your insurance company and ask if they payout for mining barges.
When you go into the ghetto part of town and think: Not to worry, I have stealth bombers.
When you see a big corporate building, you mutter under your breath 'Goons'
