You know you're addicted to UO when....
Posted: Sun Dec 07, 2008 5:41 pmI found this a while back and decided to share. 
------------------------------------
.. you see a tree outside and wonder is there is still wood on it.
*
.. you see a tree with leaves on and some flowers and think: hey, I must be in Trammel.
*
.. you see a pair of black sandals on the bedroom floor and wonder if the owner knows how rare they are.
*
.. a bird lands near you and all you can think about is the 25 feathers.
*
.. you go for a walk in the woods and want to equip your kryss.
*
.. you hang around outside banks talking to people.
*
.. you go into a bar and are surprised to see people in there.
*
.. you see a small horse and wonder how the hell they got the saddlebags off.
*
.. you go for a walk in the mountains and think "if I'd only brought along my pickaxe I could check them for colored ore".
*
.. you expect to see peoples names above their heads when they come into your line of sight.
*
.. you don't get provided with a list of wares in a shop when you said "vendor buy".
*
.. you pass a field of sheep, and all you can think of is shearing them and making bandages.
*
.. you see a hospital and wander why the healer doesnt apply a bandage and make them all better.
*
.. in RL you say LOL instead of laughing.
*
.. you tell your friends, that you just bought a new computer for 2.3 K.
*
.. you wonder why buying a house in real life is much easier than getting one in UO. A friend of mine just bought a house in RL and is still waiting to place one on Drach....
*
.. you feel an urge to flame strike your boss (or gate him to the exploding mushrooms).
*
.. make a quick sidestep as a rather large man walks towards you and thank god you didn't hit a lag pocket.
*
.. listening to someone who bought a diamond ring and when they said they payed 6,000 dollars you laugh at them and tell them they were scammed.
*
.. watching the news and wondering why RL murderers dont get killed when they come into towns.
*
.. you go to a drug store and immediatly buy out all the garlic and ginseng.
*
.. you think it's weird why you can't make a plate mail in 5 seconds.
*
.. you're getting hit in city limits and yell "GUARDS MURDERER HELP BANK".
*
.. you wonder why your cat can't fetch your backpack.
*
.. you kill 4 people and think "it's all right as long as my murder count stays below 5".
*
.. you don't know where to place a bandage on somebody who's poisoned.
*
.. you see a flock of birds overhead and brace yourself for the lagstorm all the "a bird" words will create.
*
.. you start yelling "I BAN THEE" at your mother in law when she comes for a visit.
*
.. you kill everybody that comes into your house.
*
.. you order your new car in metallic blue, to make it look like Valorite.
*
.. you live on a strict diet of cooked fish and never crave anything else.
*
.. you meet a bear walking through the woods and are not afraid of it.
*
.. you leave school after the first lesson, because your power hour is over...
*
.. you refuse to go to school because you have bad lag today...
*
.. you break into your neighbors house looking for things that arn't locked down.
*
.. a guy in a powerful car passes you on a highway and you think "wish my conn was faster".
*
.. you fetch all the spider webs aroud the house and store them together with hundreds of garlic and ginseng capsules you just bought at the pharmacy.
*
.. you consider flying to the Carribean for holidays with a ship in your backpack to place it on arrival.
*
.. you do not find what you were looking for at the store you switch to another vendor at the same counter hoping he would have different goods to sell.
*
.. you try to sell what you don't need to vendor at shops.
*
.. you tap people with your mouse finger to know their name and title.
*
.. you insist that any black rag is more valuable than a pink Versace (after all it's only GM stuff).
*
.. you get into the house on horseback and try to feed your mount with grapes.
*
.. you think it is only natural to have a bunch of guys on horseback on the roof of the bank )).
*
.. when you try to remember which key is the macro for ironing.
*
.. drove past a field full of goats and thought: ooh all those hides must get my tailor down here.
*
.. went for a walk in the woods and wondered why there were no regs spawning on the ground.
*
.. was in a really boring meeting at work and thought: wish I'd built up my stealth skill enough to get out of here.
*
.. you greet people with "Hail" as your left hand does the motion of ctrl-b..
*
.. as you finish a meal you say "After eating the food you feel much less hungry."
*
.. you keep your wallet or purse in your backpack, hidden under your robe.
*
.. while running errands in your car you pass an empty lot with a large rock in it and say "This house cannot be placed here due to an obstacle of some sort.".
*
.. you get drunk at a party and instead of saying "wow I'm pretty buzzed" you say "asterisk hic asterisk.".
*
.. you go on vacation to a town you've never been to and can't fight the urge to ask people "Your Pardons, which way to the bank?"
*
.. when you get there, you stand near the ATM with an open wallet or purse and say "Gaurds help move the vendor to the bank and all follow me to raise anchor."
*
.. you're walking toward a group of young males with a bad attitude and you think "You can't seem to hide here."
*
.. when your UO house is better decorated than your RL one.
*
.. saying I wish to secure this in your home, you think that noone can steal it any more.
*
.. leaving your house unlocked cos you think all the things inside are locked down or in a secure container.
*
.. when you go to buy some furniture, you stop to think if you have the required lock down space for it.
