Wife and I were going to lunch yesterday. I was driving and just as i was about to merge onto the freeway from the on ramp, I looked in my rearview mirror and side mirrors to check to see if my shammies were still following me. I couldn't believe that thought came cross my mind. Takes me back to a time when I used to dream about my counterstrike matches.

I feel like I should take a break...but I need to keep pushing to 70!

You know what happens when you look into the mirror and you actually DO see your shammies following you?

SHOCK THERAPY HURTS I TELL YOU.

It depends on the kind of Shock therapy...is it Frost, Flame, or Earth shock? ;)

Sometimes when I attempt (and sadly fail) to 5box and talk on the cell with a friend at the same time, I will instinctively hit ~ (my vent key) before talking. This makes it especially fun if my vent is on and people are on listening to my garbled voice because the mic is 3ft away.

Epic! I have yet to do that in RL but when I'm soloing in WoW, I look for my entourage. Then I realize I miss them and switch over. 5>1

I love these threads, never gets old!

Mine is walking through a store and still trying to take corners wide enough so that my 4 shaman don't get stuck on the corner.

Asking the wife if I can borrow some gold to go get some food.

Using terms like WTB, w00t, ZOMG, and lol (actually saying 'lawl') in work conversations - fortunately they all know and accept my disease.

Hahaha, i did that the other day. I put my iphone on the table on speaker mode to talk to someone and i would hit my vent button every time i spoke until my wife clued me into what i was doing by slapping my hand and telling me to stop it!

All this is too funny. Someone should do a medical study to find out what goes on in the brain when all this is happening.

A little off topic, but they should also study phantom vibrations. I've been chained to my blackberry for work for the past 5 years. And I swear I would feel the damn thing going off when it really isn't. Most of the time i reach down to check it and I find that I'm not even wearing the damn thing!

Same for me with my cellphone. Half the time I hear it go off, it isn't going off. D: Usually happens when I know I am not that close to my phone.
