I know these threads are always done, but I'm bored and this seemed like the best possible place for it

You know you've had too much CoH when:

-You keep expecting your Sat-Nav to tell you which villain you should be beating up.
-Whenever you go fishing and happen to see an octopus you immediately check your cell for a badgehunter channel contact.
-You run in front of traffic because you think cars can't hurt you.
-When something doesn't add up you assume that it's a Nemesis Plot.

Oh what the heck... I'm in...

* You sit at your computer to write a letter and your fingers go to their game home positions.

* Every time you see a car approach a hill you expect it to do a slow-motion Dukes of Hazzard jump over it.

* The sight of an actual bus at a bus stop amazes you.

* The sight of a child walking down the sidewalk amazes you.

* On Halloween you pass out candy to the kids in the original costumes and Generic the ones dressed up as existing characters.

* On Halloween you stand out in your front yard and hold a Costume Contest for your block. You can't understand why the kids egg your house when the first prize is 1,000,000 "influence."

* When sending your own kids out to trick or treat you tell them that if they knock on a door, hear a low DONK sound and see the word Trick float in front of their eyes... they should run like heck.

* You tell your kids they can keep all the candy... but the event salvage is YOURS.

* You know you've had too much CoH when you just did so many Positron Task Forces in a row the diminishing returns system is now taking Reward Merits away from you.

* Your boss offers you a raise and promotion and you indignantly insist you don't Power-level.

* You can't look at a mailbox without picturing it exploding.

* When you're running late for an appointment your eyes immediately start searching out parking meters, parked cars, mailboxes and other things that could give you more time.

* The police want to know why you were caught wearing spandex under your street clothes to the High School production of West Side Story.

* You see your son running around the house wearing a towel for a cape and you ground him for not being high enough level yet.

* Your teen ager returns home from back-to-school shopping to inform you Sears doesn't accept Tailor Discount Tickets as a method of payment.

* Your method for trying to pick up an attractive member of your preferred gender is to drop hints about your "secret identity."

* For some strange reason you see everyone at work as walking around with their name in blue hovering above their heads and the company name where the SG title would go.

* You refer to the IRS as the "most successful Nemesis Plot ever."

My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
