2004) You get a 0 on your Sunday school test because all you can remember is Hammerite/Mechanist scripture
2005) You petition your favorite restaurant to start serving steaks made from dead spiders
2006) You hear a real thief prowling around your house, and you pray that he's playing on expert and not one of the levels where he's allowed to kill you

2007) You are convinced that the GAME Thief and Dayport are just a figment of your imagination. You know very well that in real life your name is Garrett and you wear black stylish clothes and walk around messing with the dead and robbing people blind
2008) You have completely forgotten what the Ctrl-Alt-Shift-End key combo does
2009) You no longer take pleasure when you hear a drunken guard sing and mumble (man, a bad one that! take a break from the game and then try to enjoy it again!)
2010) You actually care to even force a smile while reading these lines

2011) You no more wake up using an alarm clock, it gets you on the edge of a nervous breakdown
2012) You no longer allow your pet to enter your room while you're playing. Your cat once hopped on your back while you were playing the Bonehoard. The consequences were evenly bad for the both of you. You ended up with a twitch on one of your eyes and the cat got later on so badly beaten that it spewed its guts.
Goodness me, this list will only end when Armageddon comes!

Drags this list kicking and screaming out of retirement
2022) You become so immersed in Thief that when someone comes up behind you and calls out your name, you jump 3 feet out of your chair and nearly have a heart attack
2023) You cringe in disgust whenever you see one of those Brinks home security systems commercials on TV
2024) You read a sign that says "Beware of vicious dog", and you think to yourself "why don't those idiots get a burrick instead?"

Whilst taking a break from playing thief because your eyes have started bleeding again, you jump between the various thief forums waiting for people to post replies to topics that you actually have no interest in, just to get a vaguely thiefy 'fix'
Shard on 9/5/2002 at 18:35
2025: You've spent several weeks learning how to hack so you can get at Thief III
2026: You've built a teepee out of flares.
2027: You've built your own Children of Karras...
2028: and burned your house down. :)
