You know you're addicted to Orbiter when...

... When you you watching Prison Break and you want to know what is going to happen next and you look for the T Key.
 
When you get mad at the show The Big Bang Theory because at the end of one episode when Walowitz's toilet he designed for the ISS fails the astronauts call Houston asking for permission for all of them to 'step outside' for an EVA, then tell Houston it was informational and that they are all 'halfway out the door.' :facepalm:
 
When navigating your car through a highway junction ramp is considered 'shooting the HAC.'
 
...when you watch a youtube video of a rocket launch, and hit F1 to switch to cockpit view.
 
Pressing F1 for cockpit view and t for 10x time acceleration.
For me, learning calculus just to see what it can do when it comes to orbital mechanics (no luck there). :hailprobe: I need luck...
 
...when you mistake VC (voice chat) for virtual cockpit. (Guilty)
 
You know you're addicted when you can repeat the Apollo 11 decent radio transmissions verbatim
 
When you learn Russian specifically to research Soviet-era documents on their space program... I have done this, and I am very bad at Russian...
 
when you walk past a door at work (in a retail store, off the shop floor) that has a sign: "Work in Progress" (referring to the store's modernisation) and you wonder if Moach is in there coding away at the G42-200
GUILTY

when you press [ESC] three times quickly whilst using AutoCAD to do a university assignment, and panic, as part of your mind thinks you just ejected your work (about 30 hours worth) out of the hard drive
 
...When you fly a glider in the moonlite, and wonder about your TLI burn.
...When you mumble the STS landing chatter out of boredom... [See the nose comin' up?]
 
When you try to play any other game on your computer and you get frustrated when orbiter's controls don't work with it!:lol:
 
...when you're accused of playing orbiter at 3AM (guilty...)
 
Laying in bed at night thinking about the mission you just fudged up and what you did wrong and how to do it better next time.
 
When you're designing a panel, and when you're about done, you start clicking around on it to see if the thing works... in photoshop!
:facepalm:
 
When you see a plastic bag flying through the sky and your first thought is:
"Well, judging by its velocity and inclination it is probably going to land near that tree..." :)
