Signs you need to stop playing RPGs for awhile
1.) You're more troubled by intel reports suggesting the Imperials are in the Curati Sector than you are by intel reports suggesting that your girlfriend broke up with you a week ago.
2.) When you can't find something you're searching for on Yahoo, you think to yourself, "damn, I failed my 'computers' roll."
3.) When someone addresses you, you have to pause for a minute before you realize they are not addressing a stranger, but addressing you by your real name
I'm sure there are more. Feel free to add your own.

9. When playing a text-based RPG, you IM the other players to urge them to post so you can keep playing.
Nitram, slightly high on cough syrup: Do you know you're beautiful?
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

You shout "*insert color* *insert class* needs food badly!" and then yell "Sweet Nutrients!" as you eat.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know...tomorrow."

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

If you've ever looked up the phase of the moon on your birth date to see what Auspice you'd fall under (I'm a Galliard, BTW)
And on a similar note, if you have readily available character sheets of yourself in at least 5 different systems.
Oh, and also whenever you watch a movie or TV show, you catalog (mentally or otherwise) the level of feats performed by characters in the movie. For example, I have a roommate who watched "Underworld" and spent the entire time going "Let's see...2 Fortitude...2 Celerity...that'd be a dot of Presence...Wow, that werewolf totally has the 'True Fear' gift."

You can't walk by your ex without shouting, "/pet attack! /pet attack!!!!"
You try to bluff your way out of a speeding ticket by playing rock-paper-scissors with the cop (if you get this and you're not a LARPer, you're pathetic. If you are a LARPer, you already were pathetic.)
