You Know You Watch Too Much Doctor Who When...

I got the ideal for this thread from this board's twin: Talk CSI. At Talk CSI they have threads like this in the CSI: Miami and CSI: NY sections. I feel we Doctor Who fans can come up with as many, if not more, than the CSI fans. Come on Whovians, prove me right.
I'll start.

You consider making the password for one of your wifi devices the code Matt Smith's doctor carved on the concrete column in the dungeon in the Tower Of London in Day Of The Doctor.

For those who didn't catch it or couldn't make it out, the code was: 1716231163
1716=5:16 pm in what I call military time.
231163=23rd of November 1963
The time and date the first episode of the original Doctor Who series aired.

You interrupt a literature class to mention that H.G. Wells actually took a trip on the TARDIS with the Doctor, and that was the inspiration for the Time Machine.

I did that back in '08.
 
Every time a Historical Name comes up, you instantly research if there's any stories of them traveling with The Doctor as a Companion or just basically interacting with him (If you don't already know, that is)

Shopping in Walmart you see a lady with long red hair who looks like a grown up Amy Pond from the back and that's the first thing that comes to your mind.

^^That^^ was my original ideal. Which brings me to my next one of these.

You start doing things out of linear/chronological order.
^^Reference^^ to an Amy/Doctor scene in the episode Dinosaurs On A Spaceship.

See what ^I'm talking about^? I started this thread with my 2nd ideal. Then in this post ideals 1 & 3, in that order.

You know you watch too much Doctor Who when someone asks you for a screwdriver and you say "10 or 11's?"

You don't even notice events are happening out of chronological order

You spend way too much time trying to figure out how to make the Doctor Who Theme your son's ringtone on your iPhone. (Seriously, Apple could not make the process more convoluted. . . )

You see a picture of the tenth doctor and instantly know which episode the picture is from.

Seriously, when I see a picture of the tenth doctor, I can easily identify what episode that picture is from. I even know what colour shirts he wore in each episode from memory.

You find a goof in Day Of The Doctor. Then you go to IMDB to see if it's listed there. When you see it isn't, you're like "Whew hoo, I found a goof IMDB hasn't noticed." You then start referring to the goof as "MY GOOF."

See the goof?

I just read a Guy Gardener post in the Batman Plugs US Government thread:

So Abin Sur had to decide if he was going to get involved in the American Civil War?

But that would be like the UN trying to mediate a power struggle inside the Triads.

I read Triads as TARDIS :alienblush:
