Your addictied if you do more than 6 of these
People find it difficult to carry on a conversation with you since you keep shifting between stances and practicing kicks while talking to them.
When tripping over your shoelaces you bounce up into fighting stance with a Kiup.
You answer your boss Ussss
You go to sleep each night cuddling at least one martial arts weapon
You insist on showing your work colleagues your interesting set of bruises on your forearms and shins ever week.
Tell your Rugby playing mate he is a pansy because he wont train due to dislocated shoulder.
You enjoy limping into work and explaining what injury you got this week.
You shut the refrigerator door with a side thrust kick.
You open doors with front kicks.
Work chairs with high back are really good for practicing turning kicks.
You open a door with a front kick and the door bashes the boss as he is walking in.
The boss wants to know why the department has so many broken chairs.
Switching a light on or off requires a knife hand strike.
You shop for clothes based on whether you can kick in them.
The only clothes you'll wear are tight enough to reveal your fit physique but loose enough to spar in (when you get a spare minute).
In a boring meeting you start practicing staff techniques with a pencil.
You refuse to wear shoes, and look scornfully aloof on those that need to during class.
As your classmate withers in pain on the floor, you fantasize about the quickest way to put him out of his misery.
You view new students as fresh meat.
You look forward to working another technique line.
You eagerly volunteer to be the instructors demonstration assistant.
You believe that one and half hours is far too short for a training session
You say to the shop assistant in the men's store, "Nice pants, but I don't think I can kick in them."
You have reached the phase of seeing everybody walking around with blinking little red cross-hairs on all their vital spots
The only way to operate a lift is to backfist the correct floor button on the inside of the elevator, based on your memory of the button's location, before you get in far enough to see it.

LOL! I was just about to comment on that. That's so cute. Kind of dangerous if it's sai, though.
