This is usually good for a few funny responses. Did a search and couldn't find a thread, so here goes! If I missed a previous thread, my bad.
*Your gear is worth more then your car (Or in my case, more then 3 of mine)
*When someone mentions crack, you are thinking Indian Creek, not drugs
*You wonder what the rock facade of your office building goes at
*You can't understand why people don't know what cams or stoppers are
*You choose your honeymoon based on what climbing is available
*Your car is covered in dig-me stickers (I have been told this is a good way to alert LEOs to the presence of marijuana in your vehicle)
Don't take this one too seriously and have fun!

The fact that I even bother to read the junk on this site is evidence enough.

You plan climbing trips with more care & forethought than events with your family or significant other.
You lie or fib about if you went climbing. " ..but I have not climbed for weeks,you gotta let me go"
You avoid visits to places that offer no climbing. " I am not going to Kansas to visit your sister unless we stop in Boulder on the way."
You choose places to visit if they offer some climbing. "So your aunt lives in Bend, Oregon? Let's go visit her sometime."

You're getting a hip replacement, rather than tolerate the pain, so you can climb again.

You can't walk past a crack in a sidewalk or wall without wondering what size stopper or cam would fit it.

1. everything is your house is messy except your climbing gear
2. you use the word splitter in everyday conversation
3. The following sentence makes sense
I was totally runout over a number 4 rp and I was getting pumped so I gunned it for the chains but I didn't make it and took the whipper.
4. it seems like fun to poop in a plastic bag for several days

These aren't jokes people. They are facts of life.
lol!
You buy your vehicle type solely because you know you will need 4x4 to get to some of the best climbing you have done in your life!

pretty simple...
you're addicted if you constantly think about it even if you are trying to do something else.

No matter what you are explaining about to someone; business, your love life, your family, politics, thought processes, you Always use a climbing metaphor.
Edit: "It's like when your standing at the crux and you have to make the decision to take the time to put in a good piece or just move past it"

I resemble that remark!
You have a magazine with a fold-out picture of the Salathe Wall on the left, and a fold-out of an exceedingly sexually attractive person [is this inclusive enough for the politically correct?] on the right, and you can't take your eyes off the picture on the left.
Well, maybe that just means you've gotten old.

fornicating with your wife,
you match hands for the transition
into the rowdy-cowboy-lasso-the-orgasm-mode,
always maintaining
one point of paw contact.

Good stuff so far! A few more:
*You get a new ledge, and test it out by hanging it off your 3rd floor balcony and have lunch on it with your S.O. (My neighbors actually loved this)
*You are overdue for new glasses and buy a new set of offsets instead
*Your office decorations are all climbing related

Do you ever climb alone?
Do you ever climb before noon?
Do you ever climb during the week?
Has work ever interfered with your climbing?
Do you feel powerless to stop?
