You Know You Spend Too Much Time On CERB When...

[Alexandra-Sky 12606]

thought i'd add this thread to the many threads of sillyness/saracasm and positivity.

 

So to answer the question in the title:

 

when you write one sentence of your paper and then quickly check back to CERB and refresh your page to see if anything new and interesting is up!

 

let's here some of yours!

You browse CERB while eating dinner, and watching tv

You browse CERB while waiting for that first pot of coffee to brew in the morning

You have always have Cerb open in a tab

 

When you are not directly on Cerb, you say ok I am only refreshing it each 15 minutes. Not less

 

You stare at Cerb hoping something happen

 

You eat popcorn when reading the drama thread

You advance quickly towards your computer every morning to say hello to your Cerb friends. Some you haven't met and probably never will. :icon_razz:

You know you spend too much time on CERB when you start to feel as if you know people that you have never even met.

[Surf_Nazis_Must_Die 8958]

When you waste your day off constantly logging on and off to see if anything new has happened instead of cleaning your apartment, buying groceries, doing laundry.... well, you get the idea!

[Reuben Sandwich 13841]

You know you spend too much time on Cerb when you sign on in the morning and see your last visit was only 5 hour ago.

[TGirl-Kay 7485]

You know you spend too much time on CERB when it's your home page.

Unfortunately I'm not quite as creative as many on this board as far as responses go, but I did feel compelled to give kudos to the following members for their posts...in no particular order either (the early frontrunners);

 

- arejayell

- roamingguy

- ottawaadventurer

 

P.S. - I noticed the + MULTI-Q option but was unable to figure out how to apply it. I assume this allows you the functionality to highlight/reference multiple posts by other members, which in turn would have made this post waaay more effective. That said if anyone can PM me to describe if/how exactly it can be done I would greatly appreciate it.

You know you spend too much time on CERB when you have IE 9, and it is the first item in the "Your most popular sites" section on a new tab.

You know you spend too much time on CERB when you can't figure out why a certain song is stuck in your head and then you realize it's from the song thread.

when I wake up in the middle of the night to read the recent posts lol which is exactly what I do NOW. Hey I have to go back to sleep lol as I have to wake up at 5:00 am. Nightly night......

[toine 30556]

You know you spend too much time on CERB when you log in only twice a day, for four hours on average...

...for all the reasons cited here: http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=53719

When you know someone's real name but you have a hell of a time not calling them by their CERB handle.

 

Your circle of friends in the real world mirrors your circle of friends on CERB.

 

When on some nights, your living room has more CERBites than the chat room here.

 

When it's easier to place someone by their boobs or bums than their faces.

[April Dawn 12207]

when CERB is your home page on your phone and it has a quick link on the home screen too

When you wake up in the morning and wonder what your CERB buddies are up to

I am guilty of all of the above!! I really noticed my CERB habit just as I was making my move to a new location. I had no Internet for 3 days, and I was irritable because of it!! Not sure if this would classify under Internet habit, but I felt so detached and lonely with out my cerb Friends, lol.

For Cathyhfx, I know what you mean about the good morning to everyone!! Cathy and I seem to be like one line apart, hahaha, I love seeing you there with all of the other early birds, lol. And when someone is not there as the usual, I notice. hahahah, love you all!
