I've come to the conclusion that it's impossible for us Non Functioning Sociopaths to make impressive deductions about fellow human beings. We're just not Sherlock and our brain does not work like his. :/

...While learning how to throw a javelin in PE, you lean on the thing and say 'That was tedious.'
...You constantly wonder what it's like in everyone's 'funny little brains' while wondering if yours is just as weird
...You constantly are on the lookout for characters that are antisocial genii so they can join the club with Arty and Sherlock
...You consistently read any long word starting with 'R' as 'Reichenbach'

When you see someone with a Burton Sherlock snowboard and you think 'Oh yeah!'

You're having dinner with some friends and you know one of them is a Sherlockian and you just can't wait for a chance to steer the conversation that that direction. (Mission accomplished, by the way.)

...when you come across the name "Kamberovic" and instantly think that this might be the South Eastern European form of "Cumberbatch".

i have something to add
You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when... you try to make a Sherlockian out of normal people.
You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when... you fangirl over a scarf
You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when... you fangirl over a riding crop (i don't even know if that's appropriate)
You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when... you fangirl over a gray jumper
You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when... you started to play with your father's cane pretending to have a limp

Lol

Even worse: you have a limping which wondrously vanishes as soon as S3 starts.

When you save that annoying telemarketing call in Sherlock Holmes' name and be happy in getting his calls everyday and seeing his name appear on your handset screen

SusiGo · April 19, 2013 2:50 pm

When you want to make your daughter take a pic of a man wearing a purple shirt. But it was a nice shirt. Just saying.

Oh what fun! How do you do that? I get so many calls from someone named "Unavailable". Ha, ha! I'd love to hear from "Sherlock Holmes" instead.

holmes23 · April 20, 2013 5:05 pm

Yes. It's like turning something really bad into something really desirable. There is an option to save numbers in whatever names you like either in real names or in some fancy names.Then you would know who's calling Isn't it always so? I saved the number in Sherlock Holmes' name and when the firm calls it's his name displayed on the screen. I never attend the phone call, they are trash, I just enjoy his name flashing on the screen

When you get excited that Winter is coming because you can wear your scarf and long coat.

Watching Game of Thrones always makes me get excited that Winter Is Coming, btw - yet, after this particular winter... I'm not too sad it's over.

Michele · April 22, 2013 6:25 am

I haven't watched Game of Thrones but as I was writing it I was reminded of the meme of 'Boromir' saying that. Unfortunately Australian winters aren't as cold as European winters. But nothings stopping me wearing my scarf and imagining I'm Sherlock!
Or wearing a scarf and a striped jumper and imagining I'm John and Sherlock's love child... for all the Johnlock fans!

When you try to get with someone from the royal family and use "honey, you should see me in a crown" as a pick-up line.

QuiteExtraordinary · April 24, 2013 8:39 pm

... when you see Real Madrid and think "I'm the real".

SusiGo · April 24, 2013 8:45 pm

LOL

… when you visit Poland and try to convert people to Sherlock and Parade's End.
