When you refer to cities by their airport codes instead of their proper names, and wonder why normal people don't understand you.

When coworker are maxing out their vacation time and I'm always struggling to maintain enough hours for the next trip. I get back from my next one with 11hrs left, and have a coworker approaching 320hrs.

My "too much Flyertalk" answer is "When a coworker types SW meaning Southwest and I have to stop myself from correcting to WN."

You change your flights because a good bartender is on? Seems strange.

The other day, I went to someone's home and encountered something I haven't seen in years: two-ply toilet paper.

When the FA swears she has flown with you before after you describe a very customized drink order. Happened to me but I am not all that frequent a flier.

When I realized I hadn't bought coffee or a meal in 5 days. Lounges and first class meals for days! Haha

Not really one for the books, but today I woke up convinced that I was on a tropical island and about to miss the last boat off for the day, when I actually woke up in a Doubletree inside a football stadium in Milton Keynes (England's answer to DFW in terms of glamour).

When you are in Montevideo and Santiago de Chile airports, look at the FIDS and realise that you've flown to every single international destination on the screens… and you don't even live in South America, but in Europe.

When you're half awake and try to make your way to the hotel room bathroom, and run into the wall, then realizing that you were remembering the layout of the hotel room you were in a few days ago.

When I look for the Pre√ sign when I get to the checkout line at Costco.

When one of your friends posts a picture of a drink sitting on a bar rail with nothing but water in the background (no boats, islands, etc.) and you not only know where he is, but what bar and what the name of the drink is.
