    The crushing disappointment when you see the postman with loads of parcels in his bag, and all he delivers to you is junk mail.


    Checking your 'other' messages on F/B at least once every 30 mins.

    When you talk about wems and non-compers ask 'what are you going on about pet?' (well they say that in Geordieland!)
