In our house it's called YNTGOM (You Need To Get Out More) syndrome. It's closely related to TSWNFIIYTOYMPS (The Sky Will Not Fall In If You Turn Off Your Mobile Phone Sometimes)

Well, if you notice yourself doing it, you might need to go back to RL for awhile. The men in the white coats may be lurking outside your door... Very Happy

Dilbert: I've got my 3-D stereo for life-like sound, I've got High Definition television for like-like video.
Dogbert: Do you have a life?
Dilbert: No, but I'm darn close.

GF: What did you bring to read?
Dilbert: It's a book of tips for my new computer golf game.
GF: So you've reading a book... about a computer simulation... of an activity that's almost a sport.
... That's about as close as you can get to being a non-organic lifeform.
Dilbert: This chapter is about driving the little cart.

Dogbert: Please read these brochures. It could save your life.
Dilbert: "Electronics Anonymous"?
Dogbert: Let's take the enclosed quiz. Number one: How many options does your toaster have?
Dilbert: Does that include the toaster disk-drive and printer?
Dogbert: I think we can skip directly to the emergency application form.

Just checked to see if there were any new posts on Eater since I looked a few minutes ago, the suspense has been killing me.

Glad I'm not a weirdo and have a life.

Must go, other forums to check.....

I think it means you're overcompensating for something you feel is missing in your life. I wonder if anyone has posted in this thread since I started typing. Better back space and check... Nope. Wait, it's been a few seconds since I hit forward, I'll bet someone posted while I was hitting forward. Maybe they posted something very similar to this, and I'll look like a copy-cat. Better hit back again... Nope, still good. Wait, did I remember to turn the stove off before I left the house? I remember checking it, but I wonder if while checking it, I turned it on? Damn, gotta go.
