You Just Know Your A Flashaholic When......

[bykfixer]

When your coworker says "what kinda flashlight you got in your left jacket pocket 'cause I know you have one in each pocket" and you pull out a flashlight from that pocket....

Ha! Good one.

When you get REALLY annoyed that a company doesn't program a consistent user interface between two very similar lights because it is confusing switching back and forth between them....
and then you realize that non-flashaholics probably don't order two $100 lights just to have one model in "Flood" and one model as a "Thrower".

- you've memorized serial numbers on those lights that the manufacturer assigns...

When you visit the bathroom at night, with a flashlight in hand, and when you leave the room you try to turn off the light with the light switch.

That's basically what happened in my house. Yep.

You can't wait that extra 3 or 4 hours for the mailman to deliver your packages[Lights!] so I have them HOLD the packages at the P.O. and p/u my stuff @ 10 am!!! :laughing:

More time for testing and enjoyment b/4 I hit the trail!

When you plan to email blast your friends on 12/21 with a "Happy National Flashlight Day" email (thanks to Ezspectre's thread)!

...on your daily rush you can forget your keys, credit card, cash, wallet and your wife... but never your beaten-up flashlight... oh and don't forget the wife, she's the Chief Financial Officer for your worsening collection. :candle:

 

[Hugh Johnson]

When you're watching a cartoon with your kids and it makes you happy when one of the characters pulls out a flashlight.

 

[bykfixer]

Agreed Hugh... that's pretty cool.

When you notice a slight green tint on the fringes of morning light peeking past cracks in your miniblinds.

Oh, wait perhaps the above should be in the tint snob thread?

While driving wherever, a sequence of letters and numbers on other license plates will make you think of a flashlight.
The other day I saw, surrounded by other numbers, SFP60.

When you get together with friends you only see once a year and instead of saying "how have you been?, they say "what is your latest flashlight and how many Lumens does it put out?"...
