How about this?

1.) Dreaming about fighting Charybdis and then waking and telling your wife I'll hit you Wheeling Thrust. She gives a /slap for a reply.

2.) Gas prices drop .10 cents and you say WOOT.

3.) Go to Sushi restaurunt and order Sole Sushi+1

4.) When you at work and you do a "Call For Help" cause you argo your wife.

Addicted to ffxi when...

when you offer a taxi driver a free chocobo pass.

When you go to court and your testimony is, I only mugged 4 gil.

When you wake up with a numb arm and you ask, can I get a paralyna please?

When a cousin dies you shout in the hospital, can I get a raise 3 position I-8.

when you tell your fishing buddy you havent caught a single monster today luck is on our side.

I can't even count the number of times I've hit ctrl+r to type to someone. And I'm also guilty of hitting L1 (or LB on my 360) to keep my character moving in other video games.

You know you're addicted to FFXI when you start saying auto translate phrases IRL. I'm not kidding. I've been known to say 'do you need it?' and 'can I have it?' IRL. (And nothing beats saying el-oh-el out loud.)

Also, I work at a video store. Every weekend, the new releases for that week just completely fly off the shelves, and 9/10 customers are looking for the same movie. When one comes back and we check it in, we pretty much put it back out immediately. When you're out there putting one back, you can already feel everyone's eyes watching you as they hope to see the movie they want go back on the shelf. No lie, I've tried explaining to a coworker that this must be what an NM feels like...

The other day, I was playing Robotron with some friends, and I told my friend to watch out for the mobs on the bottom of the screen. They all just looked at me funny. <.<

You know your addicted when:

1. someone says meet my pet and you ask automotion, wyvern, or summon.
2. When you name files on other video games after your character names from FFXI.
3. You are at work and you start humming some songs from FFXI.
4. When someone asks what kind of job you have and you respond 75 red mage.
5. when you get mad at a friend instead of hitting him, you put your hand in his face and shout firaga III and seem to feel very stupid.

These sort of things have indeed happened to me but i never thought they were funny but i figured worth sharing.

posting from kujata because this topic is relevent to my interests.

You know you're hooked when you cast aga spells on people who annoy you.

You threaten to mpk your boss.

You refer to all children as tarutaru.

You walk into your home and wonder where that damned moogle went to.

While cooking you subconsciously make crafting motions with your hands.

Thas all I gots for now.

if you refuse to eat chicken cause you dont want bad karma with your chocobo.

When you quit three times, and end up coming back after Six Months, a Year, and Two years.


True story. Happened to me.

You know you're addicted to FFXI when ...

You're woken up by your son rattling around in the kitchen and you think to yourself ... "If I cast haste on him, he'll get done quicker and I can go back to sleep.".

True story! But admittedly, I don't know if it was due to my FFXI addiction or just being halfway in La-la Land and half out!

Both?

You know you're addicted to FFXI when...

You start introducing yourself to other RL friends(who also play ffxi) as,
Thyna, Beastmaster only.

Your last four dates have been with someone who also play.

Try to explain to your RL friends who don't play how you are fine with the game and you have control over it, and right away asking for your lipstick since you are sure you left it in your inventory(referring to your purse ;.;).

You know where Pugils have their eyes.

You look at another girl with a chihuahua and you realize how is a horrible choice as pet, low hp, low vit...

That's all I could remember by now ><;

when your friend asks you to try a different game and you do briefly and it says ep next to your name and your insulted because its listing you as easy prey and wondering when its going to stop... only to realize thats the abreviation for your class...

when in said game you start keeping track of everyones status while traveling around so you can heal them when injured because your a whitemage and its your pride on your line to have someone injured...

-edits-
and no.. i didnt like the game.. movement was too annoying..

Sorry for crossing servers. Hope you'll like mine.

You know you're addicted to FFXI when ...

On the computer, you try to scroll up and down on the webpage with your left & right arrow keys.
(Still happens to me 1-5 times everyday since it was implemented.)

You know your a FFXI junky when your g/f has to throw your PS2 across the room an begin to smash her way threw the plastic(with a HAMMER) to the HDD. Just to get you to spend more quality time together.
You know your an addict when 5months later you find yourself still dreaming, wanting, needing, that one last hit/ding... Aaaaa I miss that sicklesweet satisfaction I get from wasting hours of my life doing nothing(a.k.a. LFP), cause we are all LFP in real life.
