You know you're addicted to pool when....

When you're just hanging out at a bar and some banger miscues in the background, and the sound sends a cold shiver down your spine.

When you lay your hand on any flat surface and it automatically forms a bridge.

When you're on the putting green, and you wish you could just get down and fire the ball in with the butt end of the putter.

When your wife checks the laundry to see if there are chalk marks on your clothes so you start wearing jeans all the time.
 
When you pull up at the barber shop and walk around and open the trunk to grab your cue on autopilot. (Just happened)

When the car's Navigator's favorite address's are:
Markly
Classic
The Spot
When the car gets there without a navi.

When we buy One More cue.
When we buy cases that will never leave the house.
When we buy cases cause they look good.
When we think about about buying another cue and case and just bought another cue and case.
When people are talking to you and you're not paying attention them...you're thinking about playing later.

Are addicted to pool when you posted repeatedly on this thread...have no idea when or what was said....and keep coming back.
 
When your old lady flips on you....

When your computer is stuck on AzB and 1P.org, Seyberts, Muellers, JB Cases.
When peanut butter crackers and water become lunch.
 
When getting directions from someone you don't understand and you ask "Is there a pool room or a bar near there?" in order to figure out which way to go!

I may have said this before but it's classic. True story. I have a pool playing buddy who was at a diner. After the meal, he walked up to the register with his money and said to the cashier ... "Time off". .
 
You know you're addicted when...

You're out playing pool and between matches you're glued to the live one pocket stream on your phone...
 
If your cues are worth more than your car.... You might be a pool addict

If having room for a pool table is a main priority when house shopping...you might be a pool addict.

If you "play shape" for exits while driving... You might be a pool addict.

If you can name off the top 10 pro pool players and their Fargo ratings...you might be a pool addict.

If you have a Mullers catalog next to your toilet...you might be a pool addict.

If you just bought a cue and are already looking at another one...you might be a pool addict...
 
When you hang plumb lines with thread and fishing weights from the ceiling of your living room, to see if a 4 1/2 by 9 will fit.

All the best,

When you smash your left hand with a hammer at work and immediately you make a closed bridge to see if you can still function.
 
When you stop paying for internet service at home because you spend most your time at the bar and you can just use their internet.

When you come up with a plan to date the bartender just so you can keep getting free pool. It worked. 7 years in and still going :).
 
When you get knocked out of a tournament and decide to shop for action, only to end up spotting a guy 10-5 for a little $50 one hole. He gets up 2 or 3 games on you and has to leave due to some "emergency". Then you get into a more evenly matched game but drop a few hundred bucks because it's just not your night. After going bust you find yourself still hanging around the place, watching everybody else play instead of going home to lick your wounds.
 
You know you're addicted to pool when....

- you have to toss a coin to decide whether to buy a bed or a brunswick to put in your studio apartment
- your wife whispers into your ear she wants some naughty business and you take her to the pool hall at 1am
- you use all your annual leave for pool tournaments
- when your wife forces you choose between her or pool and you tell her you'll get back to her
- all your white shirts, fade to blue
 
When watching the movie "Sweet Home Alabama" and the pool table scene comes on. You don't hear any of the words spoken, because all you see are more than 30 shot glasses lined up on the rails, some of which are still full.

You DON"T do that!
 
When you file for divorce and you request full custody of your cue....and visitation rights with your kids....LOL
 
When the sounds of commentary in a foreign language in your house is no longer foreign.
