When you attempt to get on here on the tablet computers they have on display at Staples

When you start writing the word "down" with a capital D, because it's too similar to Downs, Downer(s), and the like. I'm just too used to writing words that start with "down-" with a capital D.

it's only the second day of school and you're on here in class instead of doing your (limited) work

When you're on while you're supposed to be Student Assisting in the school library.

When you PM Downers more often than you email friends, even those you haven't seen in over a year.

I might have said this before, but it's worth saying again: when subscribing to threads is pointless since you check the Downs more often than the email.

When you come on here to tell people you just got the Return of the King soundtrack from the library before bothering to tell people on Facebook. (I also got Artemis Fowl and the Last Guardian. Yes, it's a kids' book, but give me a break. I've been waiting for it for AGES, and I've been reading the series since the fourth one came out!)

When you crack up at a Hobbit meme that has Thorin (totally just typed that as Thranduil though) hugging Bilbo because you've come up with about fifty related jokes about them during a short Barrow-Downs moot you've been having.

My heart will go on.

Overheard someone talking about "the Hobbit" and first thought was to post it here.

When you realize that the author of a book you read has the same first name as a Downer, and lives more or less in the same area, and even looks somewhat alike - and you get all excited and are about to send the said Downer a PM full of (truthful) praises of that book. Unfortunately, I just checked and the dates of birth don't match. Well bother.
