Hehe, thanks for bringing this back Shinigami.
I'd say something about dressing up for Halloween as an Enforcer, but I'm 98% sure it's already been said...
2568: Whenever you walk into a room, your friends shuffle near a wall facing outwards, in the light, while simultaneously checking thier pockets for their wallets and mobile phones...
Hopefully somewhat entertaining to those that have the list memorized...![]()

you start writing dodgy fanfic 'cos you can't manage dromed ....![]()
When you go to a restaurant and look at the menu, you mumble to yourself "Now where is those damned texture..."
Because of a bug, you finally managed to blackjack a haunt...
2572: You get twitchy when people stop numbering their posts in this thread.
2573: You actually try to drop silently by crouching before you go.
2574: Touching a rope sends you flying and you land in a bloody heap about a mile away.
2575: You've decided that one of the most important criteria for a prospective mate is whether or not they've played any of the Thief games.
Bonus points if they've played any of the FMs.
2576: you name your dog "Burrick", much to the confusion of your friends and family.

#2577: You try to tap "Escape" or "M" somewhere in Mid-Air, to see what mission you're in, and what your objectives are.
#2578: Before you enter a place you've never been before, you start a speech about the place and it's history.
#2579: You steal the keys from your place of employment, because, hey, the real job YOU were doing was "Casing the Joint".
I actually did this, without really thinking. I still have them, in fact, in case I ever need to make a midnight trip to the grocery store...
I've read all of the posts in this thread but that was a while ago, so some of these could have been said earlier. Sorry if they have.
#2580: Your friends have started to subconsciously look over their shoulders every few seconds in case you're sneaking up on them.
#2581: You haven't got any keyes; you just pick the lock every time you want to enter your apartment.
#2582: The one above this one is true for your friends' places too, and has nearly resulted in some pretty ankward situations before. Luckily it is not an easy thing to see you... Especially when you do not wish to be seen.
#2584: You don't even need lockpicks to open locks anymore, you can use a peice of paper or a hair, or even your breath.
#2585: You start praying to the Builder whenever you enter PvP in an MMO. God damned Luxons....

#2586 You try to flee the Theif GenDiscussion and wind up being sucked back in like a dustball in a vacuum cleaner. Thanks LadyTaffer. Thanks sooooo much!
#2587 You create a hotmail account under the name Garrett so you can send emails to your thiefsie friends and make them think it's from THE Garrett!!!![]()
#2588 You hope that somewhere out there in the big wide world there really is a Benny.
#2589 Despite your families discouragement you still think that opening a Burrick Inn would be a great business venture.
I'm sure this has already been mentioned somewhere deep in this thread, but I've taken up whistling and humming like the guards from The Dark Project when I'm waiting for the bus (I hadn't even started playing the full game yet; this was from playing the Bafford demo). This was quite effective when I was working an evening shift, and it'd be one in the morning, in January, and the temperature was -30 celcius or worse with the windchill, and the second bus would be a half-hour wait. I think the whistling came from a combination of anticipation for playing the full game and lunacy (also quite effective for keeping your mind off of your limbs slowly turning into frozen meat sticks).
2591:
You start to use Hammerite and Mechanist texts in arguments (Guilty of this one)
#2592 You locate some appropriate quotes from Garret or the Guards, record them, and use them as your outgoing message on your answering machine.
(Riiing; Riiiing: Guard: "Now where'd he go?!" 'I can't come to the phone right now' (cue Zombie moan)....
#2593. When you are watching television and an advertisment for "Lazy Boy Reclining Chairs" comes on the tv and the part where the female voice says lifetime warranty on the MECHANIST parts is actually MECHANICAL parts.

#2594:
When you are stuck on a roof, you don't call for help.
No, you look for someone to jump on.
#2595:
You always carry a frog in your pocket. See above.
#2596:
You throw heavy fireworks against a locked door, because you believe that it will open without showing any signs of damage.
#2597:
-For Dromeders
You hear "m00start" when you go to bed, because someone forgot to deactivate the trigger.
#2598:
You believe that some lava in volcanoes could be water.
reference to the crap contest there ...
