Well, It's been a few months while since I posted in the TTLG forums (or any forums, for that matter), but after gazing upon this enormous topic, I simply had to send one. :)
332) You have to sleep on the floor next to the computer at night, because your bed isn't frobable.
333) Nor can you change into your pyjamas, because you're imprisoned in a 6 foot milk carton which can't be removed from you.
334) Whenever someone passes you by down the street, you watch suspiciously for a pair of keys or a purse round their belt.
Let me know if any of these have already been mentioned. :)

Kongo2 (dromedus maniacus) - Common dark brown haired homosapian, generally has no life outside of playing Thief and Dromeding. Only leaves computer territory when in need of food and drink.

335) You are looking for something in a shopping mall, and when it becomes apperent that you will not be able to find it, you try to press Ctrl+e and then press TAB until it's name pops up.
336) You have a long uphill walk to make, and you don't have much time, so you try to type "scale_player_speed 2.5"

C'mon people, we'll never reach 1000 at this rate!
337) you recreate your nieghborhood in Dromed, and rob your nieghbors...
338) ...You actually try this in real life.
339) You dream up levels while you sleep, draw them up in the shower, and dromed while eating breakfast. And that's just the first hour of your day.
340) You don't have time to post on the "1000 clues you've been dromeding too much" thread...
341)... or any other threads for that matter...
342) or any forums, as you dromed so much, you're complelty self-taught, but once you finish a mission, you don't know what to do with it...
343) You make brushes for EACH INDIVIDUAL plank of wood, stone, brick, etc. It kills polycount, but it looks alot more 3d!
344) You've actually tired of the limits od Dromed and begun tinkering with the Dark Engine...
345) ...and it is now better than anything else out there, including the Unreal!

346: You Become Weak If You Can't DromEd.
347: You've Used DromEd So Much That You Don't Have To Download FM's Anymore, You Can Visualize Everything That Will Happen Just By Looking At The File Sizes.
348: Your Monitor Has A Burned Image Of DromEd In It.

113. You use dromed to demonstrate to your wife the plans for the new addition to the house. Everything is there...almost precise measurements. She is excited to see this in 3D! (Although she is confused about the unusual decor.) You teach her how to move about with the controles in game mode.
"All the time you spend up here...You taught yourself to do this?" She looks perplexed.
"No. I had help. Lots of help," I reply thinking of the hours of sifting Ive done. Not for this project, but for projects that involve tower gaurds and floodlights, holy swords, receptrons, etc..
She makes her way to the basement. A man is heard complaining about mould. "What timing..." I thought.
"Its not THAT bad down there," She says. I had to laugh at that.
....This is a true story

113?! WTF? You're screwing up the numbering, that should be 349!!!
actually...
350: You're so absorbed by dromeding that you've no time for mundane numbering for the 1000 clues list...
351: You're thrilled that Dromed came with that free "thief" game.
352: Either that, or you forget that you have THIEF all together...
353: Instead of Dromeding in your free time, you work, eat, and sleep in your "free time"
354: Your friends and family have actually started to understand what the hell it is you're doing on your computer half the day...
355: ... and can now make thier own levels.
ok, i know it should go under 1000, but i can't wait that long (or has this already been said?)
YOU FINISH A MISSION!!!!

356) Whenever something goes wrong in real life, you say " Oh well, we can always load the backup file "
357) You have customised the menus, text, window size and colour schemes of Dromed so much that it is no longer recognizable as Dromed.
358) You use Dromed as a word processor, timer, file sorter and general operating system.
359) You bought a monochrome monitor just for use with Dromed.
360) You have significantly modified and improved the OM's.

I wonder why nobody's mentioned that yet:
361) You get employed as a Thief 3 designer :)
And three others:
362) You decide your masterpiece requires something much better than "just optimizing", so you start building the BSP tree by hand with a hex editor.
363) You start hex-coding your whole levels, not using DromEd at all!
364) You did something wrong while designing the level, which would normally cause DromEd to crash during optimizing - but, since you do this stuff manually now, you come across the offending bytes and spontaneously combust.

(365) You walk outside, look across a beautiful field and wonder how high the polygon count is.
(366) You think about making everything you see a level in DromEd
(367) You start to wonder what DromEd stands for
(368) You wonder if you'll go to the Builder's Paradise and meet The Master Builder, or if you'll go to the Maw and meet the Trickster (again)
(369) You talk like Garrett and become a cynic.
(370) You become an addict, and your parent's constantly ask you whether you "need your fix"
(371) You realize that everything that Tyrilix has written has happened to both him and you.
Tyrilix on 14/10/2001 at 00:30
Oh and...
(372) You buy a blackjack (true and sad, I did)
