What is this "real life" you speak of?

[Orphican]

When you knock over your drink of choice by accident and the first thing that runs through your sleep deprived brain as it starts to tip is " SAS ON!! - MECHJEB to -RAD - THROTTLE UP - Do I need to abor " oh hell.

When you begin to get an adrenaline spike whenever your plane (u r passenger) takes off from the airport IRL.

When you search on google for Russian Mün base instead of Russian Moon Base

I like to plan my upcoming flights when I'm bored in school.

When I see this and say

That ain't going to space! Too little Delta-V!

When i see this and say why does it need fins in space.

You know you play too much KSP when you Start creating rockets in your dreams that actually work in KSP.

I have done that.

[Julexus Quandem]

I have played KSP for more hours than almost any other game I own on Steam. Currently it is in second place on 198 hours, just behind Football Manager 2011 (207) and now ahead of Europa Universalis III (186).

....when, after refueling your car, you start wondering how much delta v that got you.

Actually happened to me a few days ago.

Your ringtone is from the theme of The Right Stuff.

Your screen saver is pointed to your KSP screenshot folder... at work.

You find a copy of JANE'S SPACECRAFT DIRECTORY 1987-1988 and you've read it cover to cover, twice.

You spend hours on GOOGLE figuring out what happened to all the programs in said book.

You watch The Right Stuff and almost die laughing when you see the bartender, then have to explain it to everybody else.

You recall memories of watching the first Space Shuttle launches and remember to thank your mother for letting you skip school to watch it, even after they kept scrubbing the missions.

You spend $60 on eBay to get a copy of LIFTOFF! because you are old enough to remember it was what you hope KSP will be someday.

You remember watching Andy Griffith build "Salvage 1" even if it did mean you missed Dukes of Hazzard and now think, 'not so far fetched'.

Happens to me every day.

When you right click someone's image posted on the forums and try to rotate the view

[SmallChange]

When you look for maneuver nodes on Google Maps (while right clicking all over the blasted thing)

When Kerbal specific terms make it into your daily vocabulary (LKO, Perikee, Asparagus Staging etc)

[TriggerAu]

When you keep hitting CAPs on the keboard for fine control, and start your emails "dEAR pERSON, jUST WANTED TO", damn

[Flyer10254]

When you go around a corner and burn retrograde in order to "fall" towards the gravity well.

[m1xte]

Whenever you see a H-beam outside at night shift and you look up to the stars and think we need to go there to survive.

[jamieadd]

When you spend 3 days making a presentation about a new part of a craft, that will help in a mission that had another presentation and you show it to your friends in about 30 seconds.

[John FX]

When you right click on screenshots to rotate the camera.

I`m glad it`s not just me.

[legodragonxp]

I`m glad it`s not just me.

Same here.

[NASAFanboy]

I alienated all my friends with my incessant talking about engineering and orbital mechanics.

My teacher told me to give a 5-minute Presentation, and I gave a 40-minute lecture on Orbital Mechanics and Space.

I'm writing this post.

When at your child's birthday party, you do this:

Ha, too much KSP. You're funny.

Also, I now say Mun instead of Moon.

When you look at a model of a WWI zeppelin and say "That uses too many struts. And it would lag really bad."
