When you become endangered by the huge stacks of files and folders that have already taken over your desk and are now growing up to head height from the floor due to your complete and utter lack of productivity in the last while.

Honestly, if I don't start working I'm going to get fired.

A huge amount of people yelling 'LOL' every 2 seconds when I used to use Yahoo chat many years ago and Yahoo introduced voice chat for the first time.

I've actually done it myself, not with LOL but I said "tbh" once instead of "To be honest" and I've come close to saying "AFAIK" a few times

Another one now that I've noticed recently is I'll spell longer words in my head while I'm talking to someone

when you are sending work emails and you move your mouse to the right to put in an emoticon... and you realise you're not on boards!

The one time I knew I was on boards too much is when I was in work and looking through candidates on our database. I was also chatting to people in the BGRH bar and was clicking in and out of both. I clicked in to the dataabse to get the details of a candidate i needed to phone and entered "DesF" as the candidates name. Then I couldn't understand why no names were coming up!

Baudelaire

When you're telling your friends what a great night out you had last night and only realise when they ask you where you went that you actually spent the night in drinking cans and online chatting in a Virtual bar

RubyXI

When it really upsets you what other boardsies think of you and when they say cruel things

Xavi6

When the missus says "I'm in the mood" and you say "Ok I'll be in in two secs, just gotta reply to this post".

"Your Ma!"

Probably gets sympathy from the teacher for having such a critical parent:D


1 - When having a conversation with your boss etc, you quote them back word for word first then give your own reply.
2 - say "+1" to something you do agree on.
3 - You literally "LMFAO" at something really funny
4 - You quote war down the pub.
5 - You "meh" more than you should.
6 - You tell girls "you've had this conversation before"
7 - You check for ceiling cats before unzipping your trousers.:o
2008 - You make lists like this.:rolleyes:
