When you get to work and your boss comes up to you with a critical item to get taken care of. You tell him to hold off for 10 mins so you can see how the PzB vs Andy Mac AAR is going.

... or when you the wife knows the back of your head far better than the front!

... or when the only reason you check your email is to see if the turn has arrived.

Fortunetly my wife's name, Pam, does not appear as a plane in the game.

When I was single I dated a girl named Val and her best friend was named Kate(Katherine). And people wonder why I am Jap fan boy?

These names were ruined for me ever since PacWar.

Status: offline 		You create threads in this forum titled "You know that you're obsessed with WITP when..."

When  your wife announces she's going to bed and you think, "Great!  A couple of uninterrupted hours to get a few turns in!"

When you have a standing order at a florist to deliver a dozen roses to your wife every few weeks to get you out of trouble.

Or when that has failed, you have a standing order for a pizza delivery every night so you don't go hungry.

Carpal tunnel.

Bald patches where you pulled your hair out because you forgot to change the Dutch task force's destination after {enter original destination here} has fallen to the Japanese.

Mini fridge next to your computer so you don't have to go so far for a Pepsi.

Memory loss...specifically names of wife and kids.

Reading threads with the heading "You know that you're obsessed with WITP when..."
