I know this has already been used but I am being driven crazy about pushing T to speed up your computer to speed it up (I accidently do it about every time I turn my computer on!)

When, as you are driving, you make thruster noises in your head (or even out loud, if nobody else is in the car) whenever you brake.

... when you take your breakfast out of the toaster oven, notice that it's still ticking, and think "Warning: APU running with no load."

When you become the first person to play Orbiter for 200 hours in one week.

Not guilty...yet.

Given that you don't sleep for the week, you still have to play two sessions for 32 hours...
Absolutely doable!

Honey, don't wait up for me!

Here's one I caught myself doing when driving the wifes car

Pushing the button to extend the fold away lights before braking, and remembering to close them before accelerating. Spending too much time in the DGIV

Then you label the switch "NOT RETRO DOORS" :rofl:

When you're driving toward a hill and think to yourself that the most efficient point to accelerate to go up the hill would be at Periapsis! *very guilty!*

That's almost true. Its best to accelerate on flat sections of the hill as your engine isn't working against gravity, then bleed off some speed as you climb the hill.

You can't really accelerate too much down the hill (just up to cruising at the top, and acceleration for the next hill at the bottom), especially when there are cops around. ;)

My car is certainly going fastest at Periapsis. :lol:

After a long orbiter flight you get up to stretch your legs, you have trouble readjusting to earths gravity and fall over.

You know you're addicted to Orbiter when you spend more time on astronautix.com than Wikipedia (not quite guilty yet, but getting close).

...when you move like some sort of jet fighter or something and when you run, what goes through your head 3 seconds before you run is: 3..2..1..0.. Initiate booster ignition! (Guilty!!:whistle: But in my case I kind of move more like a mobile suit [people who watch gundam seed knows what a mobile suit is]. And yes, I know, it's very weird!)

...when you post on Orbiter Forum every 60 seconds

When you're bored and look up every possible Wikipedia topic on everything even remotely related to spaceflight! (very VERY guilty)

When you're up till 2AM working on your next Orbiter addon! (That's the only reason I'm here right now, otehrwise, I'd be fast asleep!)
