    You know you're addicted to the Net when....

    1. You see something funny and scream, "LOL, LOL."

    2. You talk on the phone with the same person you are sending an instant
    message to.

    3. You meet the mailman at the curb and swear he said YOU'VE GOT MAIL.

    4. You sign off and your screen says you were on for 3 days and 45 minutes.

    5. You fall asleep, but instead of dreams you get IMs.

    6. You buy a laptop and a cell phone so you can have AOL in your car.

    7. Your cat has its own homepage.

    8. You beg your friends to get an AOL account so you can all "hang out."

    9. You have your screen name as your license plate.

    10. You actually invite large groups of people to your house and have
    internet parties.

    11. You sit on AOL for 6 hours waiting for that certain special person to
    sign on.

    12. You get up in the morning and check your email before going to the
    bathroom.

    13. The only Family you send Christmas and Birthday Cards to are the ones
    who have an email address.

    14. You're on the phone and say "BRB".

    15. Instead of forplay, you ask your spouse if she/he wants to skip the
    small talk and cyber.

    16. You have internet in your bathroom.

    17. You get depressed when you check your email and dont have any.

    18. You name your dog DotCom.

    Yeah a lot of those apply to me especially no. 13.

    Why all the mentions of AOL, though? Is this some new form of advertising?

    Twould have been funnier if you'd changed it to boards.ie or something.

    indeed, especially when its some American crap, why do people feel the need to pass this toss on?

    Yes same here, but not no. 1. I have never gone so far as to shout lol to a joke. I might think it, but i've never said, "hehe, good one, lol".

    20. Writing lol, Rofl, imo etc on a school exam paper.

    Most of the AIM stuff applys to nearly all americans, as soon as you got home from school everybodys on AIM, mostly girls tho and tend to stay on their 10 hours straight even when not at the PC.

    No. 20 is a great problem on our class, not bcoz of the internet but more bcoz of txting.

    Ms. Walsh alwayz finds someone who has written the most of their essay in short-hand txt style.
