When you start wearing a dressing gown round the house...

**Posted by Crescent** March 2, 2012 3:34 am

When your text ring tone is the theme
When Ben saying OMG is your email ring tone
When your non Sherlock friends tells you to stop watching Sherlock and watch the Blu-ray's or Dvd's they gave you to watch
When you are searching for a dressing gown like Sherlock's
When you get frustrated at work and want to tell everyone to shut up because you can't think
When you look down at your cell phone's wallpaper hasn't seen anyone but Sherlock and John on it for ages

I asked my mom when I get a new door could I paint it black she said yes. But she want's nothing on it I asked could I put #'s on it?
Why?
Cause....
I will put 221B on my door weather she says yes or no XD

Pffttt that is SO funny! When my daughters were growing up (late 80's - 90's) I used to have a saying that all their friends would repeat when I started.

"Hey, I'm your mother not your housekeeper!" That's really freaky. I must remind my kids (grown mothers themselves now) and they are Sherlock fans, so they'll laugh like anything!

....When you get Sherlock Dyslexia.

I made up the name of this condition but it's basically when you look at words and think they say something Sherlock related when actually they don't. Example: I was watching the news today and there was this guy on called Jim Murphy, and when his name came up on the bottom of the screen I double taked thinking it said Jim Moriarty.

Lol I started to say that to people when I pick up things for them I'm not your housekeeper dear.

I was so tired one night while at work that I looked at a shoe box (Works at shoe store) and I thought it said Moran but it said Maron. OK I knew I was tired that reading boxes wrong thinking sherlock character names.

In normal life you see or hear a phrase and immediately an image from Sherlock springs to mind. Example: a friend has been doing some building work here lately, no gun with silencer in toolbox, and when I texted to ask how much I owed him he texted back with the amount and added 'no rush' as a postscript. Now I bet you can't guess which image flew into my funny little brain!

OK, so today I asked my Mum if she would mind if I started signing my text messages with "SH". She has reluctantly accepted.

........
...Whenever someone tells you they're bored you can't help shouting out "BORED!"
When you don't want to answer your phone because it has a Sherlock ringtone and you'd prefer to listen to it than answer the call
When you hope a situation will one day arise where you will need to duck, and will be able to shout "Vatican Cameos!"

When you hope someone in public will have "staying alive" as their ringtone as well because then you can jump on them and sit on their lap immediately...

That's absolutely amazing! Those people are legends! I would love to do that, but I have no Sherlockian friends except on the internet, awww.

**Posted by Sherlock Holmes** March 8, 2012 12:46 am

Also, if you were just out somewhere and you heard someone randomly do it, would you dive to the floor?! I so would!

**Posted by Ceto** March 8, 2012 6:21 am

Nah. I'd laugh hysterically and start throwing other one liners back at them!

There is another posting on you tube which has some American lass going into a shopping mall and doing the Vatican Cameos thing. This is funny to watch because she's actually petrified about doing it throughout and also considerate about where she will shout it out because she doesn't want to scare any little old ladies.
