...when you are just settling into your seat, enjoying a sip of champagne while perusing the menu, and looking forward to 14.5 hours of blissful peace and quiet, then you hear the commotion before you look back and see the little darling who will spread noise and germs through the cabin for the duration, and your mood goes from bliss to grumpy in 5.55 seconds.
And you know you're out of First Class when you step into a cab on the other side of the world and you're already coughing and your nose is running faster than the meter thanks to....

When you sip pre-departure OJ and read, but can't really focus because every other Y pax walking past, remarks sarcastically how these big seats are a waste of money.
When you want to stay awake and check out the AVOD, as well as get some work done on empower'd laptop, but falls asleep anyways.
When you do not bother watching the boarding pax to see if the seat next to you will stay empty.
Upon reaching your seat on a redeye flight, when you can slowly put things away, instead of immediately look for spare pillows and blankets.
When you take water bottle and snacks out of your bag, then put them back because you realized it won't be needed here.
When you zombie shuffle forward to disembark, walk into a new section, look around, and think to yourself 'these seats sure look nice, but I'd rather fly more trips with 25K saver awards".
(how do you know you're NOT in F?)
On UA, when you hold a light yellow BP with "First" printed, then you see the dreaded sight .. O M G ... NO WAY ... a TED Airbus 320 rolls up to your gate.

On Continental, you hear FT's complaining about ruining the integrity of the F cabin... Get over yourselves...
When everyone in the cabin has a god complex.
When you are the only one in the cabin who remembers to say please and thank you to the FA's.
When you feel like you are back in the golden age of flying... in coach.
When there is a football sized little yipping dog under the seat and the Paris Hiltonesque owner can't be bothered to try to shut it up.

As for when I know I'm in First Class... when I am the youngest in the cabin.
And sadly, even at 36 I'm still usually the youngest in the cabin.

when...
there's too much of stuff too good to eat and drink, and you start to feel sleepy and lament you can't stay awake for more of the "fun," so you just decide, "What the ...." and push the button 'til you're lying flat and staring at the ceiling which gets... dimmer... and ..blurrier... until....z z.zzz^

When the food is actually worth eating.
When the person seated next to you doesn't have their arm pressed to your stomach.
When everyone walking passing you takes a jealous look at you as you spread out.
When you've been in the air more than on the ground or spent more on your ticket than your car.
