...when you join a gym not just to get in shape, but as an attempt to effciently level up your Acrobatics, Atheletics, and Hand to Hand abilities... :toughninja:

...you think white and black cars are going to be faster than brown, chestnut, or "paint" colored ones. :confused:

...you're afraid to drive cars that aren't brown because you think they'll drive themselves back to their homes after you've "dismounted" them :whistling:

...you try to maneuver left and right after you've jumped :mellow:

...you're navigating a brochure on colleges, trying to find the student loans section so you can get into the Arcane University without doing a bunch of quests :touched:

Another real one here: When you start recognizing actual plants in people's gardens by having seen them so many times in the game.

Especially if it's Letifer Orca or Screaming Maw.

Guilty. We had the most lovely Summer Boletes growing across the street from us last time it rained heavily. Well, I don't know if that's what they were but that's what they looked like. They literally grew overnite and they were HUGE! I wish I had tooken a picture because they either got eaten or picked by the time I got home.

...when you hear a hybrid car go by (eeeeeeeeeeeee) and look around in fear thinking there must be an Oblivion gate nearby.

...when you think alcohol doesn't actually make you drunk, it just makes you a little dumb and easier to knock over.

No lol, I just thought it was clever.

Good one! :laugh:

... when you try to find some Nirnroot in your neighbour′s garden and get confused when they don′t understand what you mean by "completing a quest for Sinderion"

I've done that. Out in the wild, too--not just in gardens. and then I think, so if I mix those with that, will I get a potion that does this?



Oh, I've done that, too.



Phew! Okay, good! I was gonna say, man, I feel so bad for you! lol Then, yes, it was very clever!

I lol'd

Now I've got to try this, if I ever have the chance!

... when you wake up late at night, alerted by an intruder, and try to reach for that poison you mixed up earlier to use on your elven dagger you know you have on your nightstand

... when that fails try to raise his disposition by making jokes, coercing, admiring his clothes and boasting about how many sit ups you did yesterday and hope he thereafter will peacefully leave your home as your new best friend
