You Know You're an Internet Addict When...

This was just way too funny not to post. I did a similar one while back called You Know You're a Graphic Designer When... and have always wanted to find more of these. Well here it is! I know I'm an Internet addict. I spend usually half my day on the computer because it's my job, but the Internets and Googles are always chillaxin' in the background.

Are you an internet addict? Count how many of these apply to you and post that number in the comment section. Highest number wins! Be honest.

29. You tell the kids they can't use the computer because "Daddy's got work to do" and you don't even have a job.

34. To find out what year it is, you search Google.
35. You start tilting your head sideways to smile.
36. You begin to wonder how on earth your service provider is allowed to call 200 hours per month "unlimited."
