Friday Fun: You Know You’re Addicted To The Internet When…
Everton | Apr 06, 2007 | Comments 6
I’m ashamed to say I’m guilty of 2,3,4 and 9. I’m almost guilty of 1 as we have a small fridge next to our desks at work we recently plugged in! Thanks to CyberNetNews for making me face up to my addiction.
- You place your refrigerator beside your computer.
- Tech support calls YOU for help.
- You start to experience “withdrawal” after not being online for a while.
- Being called a newbie is a major insult to you.
- Your teacher or boss recommends a drug test for the blood shot eyes.
- You get up at 2:00 AM to go to the bathroom and turn the computer on instead.
- You block out disturbing thoughts about your life with soothing thoughts of the Internet.
- It takes you 15 minutes to scroll through your bookmarks from top to bottom.
- When you check your mail and it says “no new messages”, you check again just to make sure.
- You refuse to go to a vacation spot with no electricity and no phone lines.
- You ask your doctor to implant 1 GB in your brain.
- Your wife says communication is important in a marriage so you buy another computer and install a home network so you can chat.

Heh nice list. Mine would be 3, 4, 9, 10, and 12.
12 is worrying. Are you sure it’s even your wife you’re talking to online? ;-)
still have one to go (#12) :P
Mine:2, 3(for sure!), 4, 10(somehow correct), 11(I prefer 2GB 1200Hz :D )
Funny, and true, but not all of these. :)
@Everton: Heh yeah I’m sure. She usually asks me for a glass of water every 15 minutes – through the computer.
It’s deeply disturbing how many of these I can honestly answer yes to. #9 especially.
