Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
..when you meet your only British colleague who first hits, then hugs you and declares: "She likes to be hugged by a British man." And you answer: "Well, true. But not by any...." 
(He has no idea that I'm obsessed, btw.....)

Agree. Saw a London cab this morning (in Adelaide, Australia) and the first thing I did was look to see if it had any passangers and the second was look at the driver.

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
Whenever you see a man wearing a shirt exactly like the purple shirt Sherlock wears and can't help but ogle for a few seconds....
This happened to me twice when I was at the movie theatre a couple nights ago

We have exactly the same ones up here in Manchester...

You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when you order Egg Benedict for brunch everyday.
(And I just found out that National Eggs Benedict Day is on April 16.
)

When you actively think about the next time you're going to watch the DVDs, planning which day you can watch them and how much fun it's going to be

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
Without trying I had a lot of Sherlock moments of my weekend.
Went to the hardware shop and saw they were selling wheelbarrows with 'Sherlock' written down the side. Fought the urge to buy one.
Drove past a new apartment building called 'The Watson'. Think they have a 221B?
Drove through a suburb called WESTWOOD with a huge sign. Similataniously my husband and I went...
And finally, I can't find a picture of it but I was given a brochure with a heap of open umbrellas on it to obviously I instantly thought Mycroft! But then I noticed a pair of very familiar converse poking out the bottom behind the umbrella. Guess that explains why Mycroft knows about everything that's going on!

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
Your boss calls in sick for the day and you take adavantage of the time to use company ink and paper to print out a long fan fic.
*hangs head in shame*
My boss is going to be on vacation ALL THIS WEEK.
God help me.

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
.... when your colleague, who stopped smoking recently, still lurks around in the smokers corner - and all you can think of is the scene with Sherlock and Henry in Hounds.

When you read the review on Storm of Swords stating 'Martin has captured the imagination millions' and you instantly think of Martin Freeman. But I guess that statement applies either way!

you go to work and find two fax copies send to you during the night (this is the truth, I swear)
1. an invitation to buy pepper spray to protect yourself
2. another advertisement to buy mini spy cameras
and you think this is not real; he invaded my life.

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
when jumpers that you should think are ugly start looking awesome.
I was looking at a jumper with elbow pads the other day thinking it looked awesome but only didn't buy it because they didn't have my size... so I bought one that is in a similar vein to John's Christmas jumper.

Yesterday at a store I saw a woman wearing a dress with a small cherries pattern all over it and I almost followed her to take a picture.
