When I'm watching one of @ShadowZone's videos, and I hit the arrow keys to rotate the view.

It happened to me LOL

I didn’t want to necropost so here is the mark 2 thread.

Original thread here:

You know when you’re playing too much KSP when you think Moho is the closest planet to the sun.

You know you're playing a lot of KSP when you see real NASA photos and think it would look better with Planetshine and Scatterer

 

[Stormpilot]

You know you play a lot of KSP when you see a rocket explode and say “they shoulda quick saved.”

[Souptime]

you know you play a lot of KSP when you keep mistaking LEO for LKO

[The Dressian Exploder]

You know you play a lot of KSP when you see delta V in a physics question and think: That's probably enough to get to Eve

[GuessingEveryDay]

Huh. After playing a bit of RSS/RO. I now have to remember if I should use the diameter or the radius.

You know you are playing a lot of KSP when you look at real rockets and see that the engines were made by Kerbodyne.

You know you're playing a lot of KSP Forum Games when overlapping threads have been merged.

You know you’re on the KSP fourms too much when you try to follow all the mods 

[DialoMalison]

You know you are playing a lot of KSP when you are watching a KSP video and you right click and drag to rotate the view for the third time in as many minutes.

[Dientus]

Especially when its the new content videos and I find myself trying to rotate the scenes for better or closer views

 

Or if you are watching NASA footage and hit the F2 trying to bring up the HUD

[king of nowhere]

I was at a restaurant and someone hit a wine bottle, spilling it.

I hence looked at the bottle, which was tall and narrow, and concluded it was a really bad lander, and should have used some lateral tanks, or at least some properly placed landing legs. Those people making bottles have no idea what they are doing.

I have done that so many times. I must be playing too much.

When you look up "Laythe" When you meant to look up "Lathe". True story.

[Kerb Your Enthusiasm]

When you're obsessing and designing concepts in  your head while you're away from your computer, be it at work or commuting or doing whatever else that you'd want to recreate in KSP when you're back on it. 

This game is something else. 

[Wizard Kerbal]

I’m just going to list the things I do:

- Confuse LEO with LKO

-Try to measure the width of rockets to see if I can recreate them

-Am un-amused by air-launch systems

-When I see an illustration of a rocket in space with “pointy” exhaust, for forgetfulness of the term, I say they should get a better graphics mod instead of saying it’s unrealistic.

-Attempted to Phys-warp past a history lesson

You try to right-click-and-drag to rotate the view - no matter what app you're using or video you're watching..

[king of nowhere]

Upon reading that spaceX managed 380 s Isp on their vacuum engine, I thought "they made the wolfhound"

[Wizard Kerbal]

Forget what resonance orbits are

[s_gamer101]

When the physics teacher teaches orbital basics (what an orbit is, elliptical shapes, hyperbolic escape trajectories...) and you already know everything before he explains it and he then asks you "But you haven't learned that in school, right?"

hyperbolic escape trajectories

What are those?

Once, I caught myself looking at some real objects around me and trying to identify which KSP parts they are made of.

Today I read "submarine to Enceladus" as "submarine to Eeloo"
Two days ago I right-clicked a KSP video to move it around...

If you almost forget about the existence of Astronomical Units
