3476: You install pressure plate traps in the shady sideways of a long corridor leading to your treasury because you think no thief would walk along the well-lit middle.
3475 - You wonder what would be better: Install carpet in all your house, so you can sneak quietly out of your house if the bulldogs show up, or if you should make it full of tile floors, so other taffers can't get in your place without wasting a endless supply of moss arrows.

3477 - When you're trying to design a great stealth game, and you're trying to get the sneakiness just perfect you always feel like you're stealing everything from Thief.
3478 - You can finish all missions in all Thief series blindfolded using only your hearing with 100% loot. Has anyone done it?
3479 - You can guide a friend of yours step-by-step through all OMs with closed eyes and ears. Although your friend did never play any Thief before, he finishs with all loot, all secrets, all pickpockets and no KO's or kills.
3480: You go on holiday somewhere foreign and thiefy, and you begin to pretend you're Garrett. Then you turn to your sibling and they're doing the exact same thing.
3481: On a date, you keep telling your girlfriend to "follow me" or "wait there" while you scout ahead.
3482: Every time you're about to use one, you can here Tom Jones singing "Flashbomb, flashbomb, you're my flashbomb" in your head.
3483 - A very simple one. When you've played Thief 2 too much, you have gotten a special CD case for it and it takes 5 minutes of careful movement without breathing to get the scratched CD from the CD case to the CDrom-drive and vice versa, because you don't want to take the chance of scratching it more. You handle the CD like it's anti matter. If it touches anything, they will annihilate eachother with the energy of m x c ^2.
3483.5 - Thief is now so cheap that even your backup copies have backup copies.
3484) You'll take afternoons off work just to dedicate time into beta testing missions (true story)
3485) You revist the OMs after 3 years and still able to find all the loot, get all the bonus objectives and remember the patrols
3486) You'll spend a whole evening reading this thread from page 1...
3487) You'd play other games and often think 'How can I incorporate this into a thief FM...?'
3488) You get really excited and giddy when you find someone in the real world who's played Thief (in my case my housemate)

RE: 3488 That is so true with me!!!
3489: You insist on installing the thief games on your shiny new windows 7 operating system.
3490: You can't ever get away from thief.. even when you don't play it for a long time, you always come back to it at some point. (probably goes without saying, and may have been posted before... Sorry if it has.)
3491: You can't see a Staff Only sign without wanting to remove the S.
3492 - While trying to look more like Garrett, you accidently cut off your wrong eye.
OMG...I pick locks, have a blackjack, made my own bow, quiver and arrows, and act like the drunk guards...and I try to zoom in on things.Genius
3494 - you take note of the camera positions and their blind spots.
3495 - and when you accidentally walk into their line of sight, you expect them not to record stuff, but to turn yellow and stop for a while.
3496 - You find extremely odd that the policemen don't attack you as soon as you are spotted. You are also baffled by the cameras on the banks that does not sound alarms as soon as they catch you.

3497. You wonder why the modern club doesn't help you knock out the police, so you have to slaughter them all as a rebelling gesture towards the buggy world engine. Of course you can't do that, so after a knock out gas treatment (because of a bomb not used correctly by you "it can't knock me out. it will only take a few health shields") the jail cell walls surround you. Prepared like a good keeper you keep the lock picks where the sun doesn't shine (guess the fm), but the door has a magnetic card lock. You start prison riots often so you can at least be like the prisoner in Shoalsgate police station and even chase mice and rats with a hammer so that your ramblings will keep truth to them. You successfully wind up as the lunatic in Shoalsgate and you are happy as a clam harassing every person you hear nearing to the cell.

#3498: you don't know any proper english so you have your friend type in for you through his account. The only english he knows are the basic words for playing thief. Also it would be much more stealthy to not leave any trace of your presence, so you use another person's account.
#3499: you wanted to build your house exactly like Constantine's but after playing Thief 3 you changed your mind and decided to build it resembling Garret's apartment.
AND NOW FOR #3500
If you are a metalhead, you are stuck with the tune from the song "The Quiet Place" by In Flames, which you've been listening repeatedly while playing Thief
#3501: You meet someone while crushing a party, who has played Thief and you both keep talking about it until 2-3 AM.
#3502: You are sneaking all the way to your friend's house when suddenly some dogs started barking and then you wonder why there are fucking dogs in "real life", instead of thinking why there are no dogs in Thief.
#3503: When you go to a bar or similar places you always go and sit at the darkest spot of the place, where there won't be anything on the wall behind you (e.g. posters) that could shine and give away your shape. You also order beer in a bottle to take it with you just in case you need a blackjack in the parking lot.
#3504: You no longer have fear of heights or darkness
#3505: You are always comparing every horror movie with the Cradle mission and always conclude that the movie is PUNY!!!!!

No doubt that would be AWESOME. haha
#3506: When you can't see something far away, you wish you can press the "[" key to zoom in.
#3507: While playing another game, you wish you can lean around corners. (happens to me all the time heehee )
You know that you've been playing Deadly Shadows way too much when you stop washing to avoid waking up in prison.
