You know you're a TNG fan if...

[Kor]

Along the lines of the thread that's been going on for some time in the TOS forum, here's a lighthearted look at what characteristics could possibly identify someone as a TNG fan.

You might be a TNG fan if...

You tug the front of your shirt down when you stand up or when you sit down.

You say "engage" or "make it so" when somebody offers you something.

Your formal outfit for job interviews, weddings and funerals, and jury duty is a TNG-era Starfleet uniform.

What else can you come up with?

[Mutai Sho-Rin]

You're saying "Shaka when the walls fell" whenever something goes wrong.
Whenever you see a collection of four lights, you boldly state that fact.

 

[Kilana2]

When you think your microwave is a food replicator, you order your favorite meal but nothing shows up!

 

[Kor]

If things were ever going badly, you've tried saying "Computer, end program" to see if anything would happen.

[Mojochi]

You reprogram your Siri or Alexa to respond to the name "Computer"

When you hear the word scant, the 1st thing you think of is bare-legged dudes in mini tunics... whether you want to or not

 

[Mojochi]

You know your a TNG fan... if you have to make your smart device stop autocorrecting Troi & Worf to trio & word

also... if you know what the word arboretum means, because that's literally the only place I've ever heard it used

 

[JesterFace]

You know you're a TNG fan if you're reading this thread.
Even more if you write a message to this thread.

Also..
When you hear a doorbell you respond by saying "enter". Then you remember you must go and open the door yourself.
If you don't already own one, you want to buy a car that starts by pressing a button, not by turning the key.
When you go into a car wash with that car it's not called a car wash, it's a baryon sweep.
When you go into a music shop you ask if they have a Ressikan flute.
When you leave a romantic date that is succeful you'll say "save program". If the date is a disaster you'll say "delete program".
Every Christmas tree with a lot of blue lights makes you think you're in engineering.
On a windy or rainy day you try to order a computer to shield you with a forcefield.
If you have a diary, occasionally you start by writing "captain's log" and then erase it and write "dear diary".

My driving instructor called a gravel road an asteroid field, 3rd gear was warp 3, a tunnel was a wormhole, highway lessons meant we're entering the transwarp network, and to turn on the headlights he ordered me to arm phasers!

I’ve seen the word elsewhere many times.

When I was kid l lived about half a mile from the Curtis Arboretum in Wyncote, Pennsylvania, so I am familiar with the word.

 

[NCC-73515]

I've seen an arboretum in both my previous and my current city

If you get excited walking through motion-activated doors

I habitually wave my hands in a majestic manner when doing so. I’ve had kids stare, either thinking I’m magical or really weird.

Or they think that you're using the force, oh no, they think you're a Star Wars fanatic.
(I don't know if you are....)

I’m a low grade Star Wars fan but not near the level of Babylon 5 or Star Trek. One can only sustain so much fandom.

 

[Tenacity]

If you get excited walking through motion-activated doors

And you make a "swish" sound every time the doors open or close.

 

[ThankQ]

You know you're a TNG fan if you like chamber music where the musicians outnumber the audience.

 

[at Quark's]

When you leave a romantic date that is succeful you'll say "save program". If the date is a disaster you'll say "delete ".

"To whom are you talking and what do you mean by 'reset to time index 20.45 and increase susceptibility to suggestions by 10%'?"

 

[IMC Headquarters]

You're stuck in an Escape Room and out of frustration you shout, "Computer! Arch!"

 

[Spicy Thunder]

When someone asks you how you are and you say you are functioning adequately

Eurm .... when I greet my girl when I come home with: "I anticipated your sensory input patterns today, but they were absent" ?
