You might be addicted to Yahoo! Answers if...?

Question

*Getting a 'best answer' is the highlight of your day.
*Choosing a 'best answer' is one of, if not the, most difficult decision(s) you have to make in a given day.
*You recognize other users by name and refer to them as friends, even though you have never met them.
*Being a 'Top Contributor' or being promoted to the next 'level' gives you a great feeling of accomplishment.
*You think of questions you want to ask on Yahoo! Answers when you are doing something else and are not even at your computer...and then can't wait to come ask said questions.

I am guilty of all of the above. What can you guys add to the list?

Answer 1

you have five accounts and use them all in a single day because you keep running out of answers

you've had more accounts suspended than rain man can count, but you just can't stay away

you have the rules to the drinking game memorized and get upset when one of the questions comes up and nobody says *drink*

you immediately recognize clones

you actually participate in the Y!A forum and blog too

You've talked to "Ask Mike"

Answer 2

I am guilty of all these execept I am not an top contributer......YET. I go online and I see"Congratulations, you've got a best answer and 10 extra points!Your answer to the following question really hit the spot and has been chosen as the best answer:Go ahead, do your victory dance. Celebrate a little. Brag a little. Then come back and answer a few more questions!" I can't tell how much that makes my day. It kinda brings a tear sometimes. I know it's bad but I use yahoo anwsers like some people use crack but it's ok but I not alone and it's for a good purpose.

Answer 3

You have to ground yourself from the computer in order to get your housework done.
You are falling asleep at the keyboard and refuse to shut down for the day.
You have sat in the same spot for so long that your backside is going to sleep.
You get upset when a visitor shows up and you have to get off the computer.
You pace the floor and can't find anything to do when you aren't on line due to circumstances beyond your control.
You put off going shopping until you are completely out of food in the house.

Answer 4

I'm not interested in getting the best answer, making points, or being a top contributor. I could care less about that. I am on here when its convenient, to hopefully see, that some on here may have become acquainted with their Creator and Savior. .....still hoping for a smile.

Answer 5

If you get at least 5 emails an hour from people you've never met on subjects you barely remember answering on, but you can still off the top of your head answer their emails.

If your messenger list is made up of people that you know you've talk to at one point or another, but you have no clue who they are until you go and look on their Answers profile.


I'm guilty of all of it.

Answer 6

Actually the TC thing I am not proud of.
When my old account was deleted I was actually happy to get rid of the TC badge as I think it just makes you a target.

Others yeah.
Also you know what "bring muffins to XX section means"

Answer 7

You can't leave even though you want to leave.

You find yourself looking for certain people's questions or answers.

You begin to trust somebody here more than anybody you've ever met in real life, though you will probably not meet that person, ever.

Answer 8

I cannot relate to many of those, but I like it here. I have made a lot of friends. I like to discuss about faith issues because I do not have so many opportunities to do so outside of this cyber village.

Answer 9

Whats up Darth!!!!!! oh, excuse me this aint chat.
Is it alright to just be in a state of denial about the whole thing? My wife is wondering why pink has become my favorite color! enuff said.

Answer 10

Guilty as charged...lol.

Also:
*Spending the majority of your work time at a desk job on this site, and paranoid of the manager walking in on you...
