You are innocently traveling in a tram when that young man enters. He has dark curly hair, long pale neck and the shape of nose and jaw that makes him look like a young Sherlock. He wears sunglasses so he has that cold, unapproachable aura around him. What´s more, he has another boy for a companion, shorter, blonde, with John Watson´s hairdo and a wide, guileless smile.

OMG! They look like a live Johnlock!!! 

And the wretched pair comes down from the tram at the same stop as you and enters the same restaurant.

And you just try hard not to stare, you really try, but... it´s impossible! You still come around as a hungry, bug-eyed stalker!
(facepalm)

When you are going through all the used DVD's in your favourite store and come across one called "The adventures of Sherlock Holmes smarter brother"

You don't buy it, but you find yourself giggling as you see the "I am the smart one!!" scene in your head

I normally eat sparingly and healthily, but today I had the worst craving for chips so I headed to the pub for lunch. It has a big screen TV and TV is a novelty for me since I don't own one. So I found myself totally engrossed in a documentary on how to give various animals CPR and was carefully filing away the information when I heard Sherlock's voice in my head telling me to stop filling my head with rubbish and when the hell was I going to need to give a squirrel CPR and that this is why I sometimes have a hard time remembering the stuff that matters. Yup, watched TGG one time too many, methinks...

LOL! By miles the funniest degree of obsession I've read about here!

Of course, this means that I will never forget that you must give a squirrel CPR while it's lying on its side.

Well, you never know, it might come in handy to know stuff like that!

Where I live, a squirrel in cardiac distress is more likely to end up being someone's dinner than being rescued...

What are you planning to do with your 'accidentally' packed pipettes?

You have watched it with closed captioned and can note the 1 error in seasons 1 and 2.  When you have started to understand how early in each episode Sherlock solves at least a portion of things and begins to set contigencies in place.  When you have started a fan episode that includes Sherlock trying an e-cig and the dialogue is something like this:
What is that?  That's ridiculous.  

Don't be absurd I don't want it.  

Does it work?  Give it here.

That's awful.  Throw it in the bin. 

Give it back.  

And then there's lots of fun as John complains about playing fetch with Sherlocks chewie toy as they solve....not telling that part!!!

Next week we're having a Superheroes dress up day at work.
My boss said to me: you could come as Sherlock and wear your hat.
I replied: it's not my hat.
She said: but I've seen a picture of you in that hat.
Me: it's not MY hat..

Those last few are awesome!
besley - did you also get in something along the lines of 'not being a hero'? 
phantom - I don't think I would have been able to suppress a giggle, either!  Or just faltered a second and blurted a surprised 'Oh… Jim from IT?' then grin and add a sing-song 'Hi-ii!'   

Semi-sorta related… reading the comics, the 'joke' of one is a line-up of characters with umbrellas - The Penguin, Mary Poppins, and the Morton's Salt girl (the mascot girl image in the rain holding salt that's trailing behind her), and you think to yourself 'What about Mycroft?'   

When you have an innocent little stroll around the pretty graveyard nearby, listening to some music on your iPod and then suddenly there's this elderly man with white hair, quite tall and broad shoulders, wearing a beige jacket und you seriously consider for a moment if it could be Timothy Carlton visiting a grave there.

... when you're watching people more intensive. When you realize that you have never really looked your fellow men.
