When I talk to my dog, she usually just falls asleep or sends me looks saying either "Great... So: when do I get food?" or "Are you kiddin' me? What's wrong with you? Just lemme sleep..."

When you enter your bookstore with the Sherlock despising owner, and you giggle because they play Stayin' Alive anyway

^^
What kind of bookstore is owned by a Sherlock despiser? Can't be a good one... hmmpf!

It's a nice enough one - we can't all have the same taste. But they have to bear with me ordering all the Sherlock related stuff

You watch an advert on how to save someone's life with chest compressions (with Vinnie Jones) and can't help thinking of Moriarty's ringtone when they play Staying Alive.

Phone: iPhone default ringone
Boy: "Whose phone was that?"
All people in room with iPhones check their phone
Other phone: iPhone default ringtone
Girl: "Whose phone was that?"
All people in room with iPhones check their phone
My phone: Moan
Everyone in room: "Whose phone was THAT?"

When you're in PE and there is written "Holmen" (that's German and means bar... well it's just a horizontal stick, you do stuff on...) and you read "Holmes"
when you're in PE and there is written

on the mat and you read "Adler"
when you act a little bit dyslexic in PE and you can't stop laughing

And, what did he/she answer then?

Nothing... But as I stopped talking, she turned her head and look at me, perhaps she want to say "hey, at least she stopped!"

Aww, the phone-one is great! Thanks, made me laugh a lot!

...when you are presented with this calendar in your office:

... at once translate as follows:

...and come to the only possible solution:

My colleague was like: "Little bit obsessed, aren't you?" and I was a whole-hearted: "Yes; I am!"

Infinite improvement on a very dull calendar.

Aww, fantastic. Much better now. And the quote goes SO well. And so you can start your day very well. And what's the problem of be obsessed?
Whatever. I like your "new" calendar.

lol ^^ what did the rest of the office say?
Should do that with more things... the world would be a better place ^^

You know you're obsessed with sherlock, when you watch the TV preview and there is written "Shrek 3" and you read Sherlock :s

Oh thank god for that I thought it was just me! *breathes a huge sigh of relief.*

You know you're obsessed when you realise that the office has [foolishly] left you in charge of their entire stash of post-it notes... and you have to remind yourself that, as an adult, it is wholly irresponsible to start leaving comments to your colleagues on every available surface.

Childhood ends, immaturity lasts forever.

The phone bit is especially great when you're afraid it's urgent and have to admit that it was your phone by way of checking it.

… you translate the biography of a well-known baritone and at once hear a jaguar hiding in a cello.

SusiGo · December 14, 2012 10:17 pm

… you get nervous just because someone mentions the Pope on TV.

It looks like you need a reconvalescence treatment, my dear
