...when you have an overwhelming urge to adopt a clumber spaniel puppy and name him Benedict Clumberbatch

Gah... is that a more common 'bad habit' than I thought? ;P I hear ya! Well, it's not always a bad thing, but certainly tediously tiring at times with taking forever to get through the episode (or movie) instead of simply 'watching' it. Sometimes I don't think I even do it for the purpose of 'catching' everything, but also because I get way too into enjoying a particular shot of a scene, or the actor in that moment, or an expression, or beautiful style they pulled off, etc, that it needs to be replayed (or paused on the actor) to appreciate it. I'm such an addict. Somebody stop me. ;P

Stop you? I can't even stop myself!

When you keep saying I'll just check the Favorite Benedict/Sherlock pic thread ONE MORE TIME before you finally turn off the computer and go to bed.

If Andy Murray wasn't already my favorite tennis player, he certainly would be now

I always think he looks like Benedict.

Maggi13 · June 19, 2013 6:15 pm

When you check this thread on your smartphone and the Martin and Ben pics threads on your notebook.

Elvina · June 19, 2013 8:31 pm

I officially love Andy Murray.

When you paint your door black and put 221B on it
When you step over your coffee table when you get off the couch
When you wear a sheet around the house
When you see things that don't actually relate to Sherlock, but it reminds you of that anyway

When you see the DVD boxset of Series 1 and 2 in a local store and get all excited, even though you've already got it

I do that last one all the time

Lol :D Yeah I saw a street sign that said Alder, but I thought it said Adler. And I always give a start when I see the street sign that says Van Buren.

Oh, I got a good one: When you examine the bottom third of chinese resteraunt's door handles to see if it's a good resteraunt. I wasn't excacly sure how to phrase that. Oh well.

I now agree.

Sherlock Holmes · June 26, 2013 9:26 pm

I came up with a new one today.

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

You look at tall buildings and compare them in height to St Barts, then imagine Sherlock standing on top of them.

Elvina · June 27, 2013 4:16 pm

you sit on a packed bus and when you repeatedly hear the text alert of someone else's Blackberry instead of getting really p*ssed off all you do is smirk.

SilverMoonDragonB · June 27, 2013 4:29 pm

When you're in a car and you pass a street called "John St." and smile , then pass a street called "Anderson St." and frown and growl a little....this happened to me recently

kittykat · June 27, 2013 4:44 pm

When you want to see STiD even though you're not interested in Star Trek

besleybean · June 27, 2013 4:50 pm

When you're at your son's graduation and smile when the photographer says: 'I need to tame your errant curl'!
