... you have 'Stayin' Alive' as your ringtone and when it goes off you ask the people who are with you "d'you mind if I get that?" and then answer it: "Hello? Yes of course it is, what do you want?" - and all of it in a german speaking environment. (fortunately, it was my best friend on the phone who got it - but the others who were with me didn't and it was really funny).

When you leave the house without your skirt (I had thick leggings on, thank goodness)... and when you realize you hear John's voice in your head: "We solve crimes, I blog about it and he forgets his pants"

This.

When you try to deduce people you see on the bus. Even if you did it a hundred times before and never got anything.

Since when??

Sorry what?

Mattlocked · May 8, 2014 5:33 pm

When did you start deducing people? Or do you do it just on the bus?

gently69 · May 8, 2014 5:47 pm

Are you afraid that I did it when we ... No, there wasn't any need to deduce. That was obvious. LOL

Good to now that I'm not the only one who never gets anything even after staring for 2 hours while sitting in the train

You look to the rooftops of all St.Barth's-height buildings and expect to see a man with floppy-curly hair, a great-looking coat and a cell-phone.

You cannot put a scarf on without tying it the same way as Sherlock

A friend recently called me on wearing my scarf like Sherlock does, teasing me about my obsession with the show. I pulled out photographic proof that I have been wearing my scarves that way for going on 10 years. She was surprised. So you know you're obsessed with Sherlock when it takes the show for you notice for the first time in almost 10 years that your friend wears a scarf tied that way in all but the hottest weather! (I feel naked with my scarf. )

You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when....

Every time your friends invite you over to their place for tea... you thank them by carving "I.O.U." into a piece of fruit and leave it laying around for them to find.

When your DVD player throws a bit of a fit and you panic because if it breaks then you can't watch Sherlock. And when you realize you left one of the S3 DVD's in it you nearly have a heart attack.

It's all good now. thank goodness.

You think one of the most exciting things about the new series of "24" is that it's set in London.

You get a shiny new Kindle Fire for Mother's Day and the first thing you do is start downloading fics.

You're at the Georgia Aquarium watching the otter's play and you can't help but imagine them all wearing little blue scarves.

iTunes informs you that you have played "December 1963 (Oh, what a night)" (the song from the end of TSOT) 217 times... OMG, I need a new dance tune. Then again, it's 4-minute song, so that means I've gotten 14.5 hours of exercise out of it!

You hear Radio 2 (which you don't normally listen) at work and catch a song by Nat King Cole(who you're not a particulat fan of) , which you instantly love- because it mentions Sherlock Holmes!

You see a poster with a curly haired violinist on it, with his fingers steepled under his chin - and you are overjoyed that Sherlock is going to have a concert in your town!

My husband does a lot of work with the BSI(Britisih Standards Institute).But of course I always think of the Baker Street Irregulars!
