Don't forget the GFE when refinancing your house. I didn't think the broker was that hot - wait, it means "Good Faith Estimate"??

(This is from a hobbyist's point of view, with some points not applying universally to all hobbyists.  Providers are welcome to post their own counterpart of this list.)

10. You haven't logged in to your dating site profiles in months.

9. Friends see you smiling, and immediately ask: "OK, fess up: what's her name and how much?"

8. Certain streets and train stations in your city are forever associated with going to your hobby appointments.

7. BBFS feels wrong beyond wrong, even if with a monogamous significant other.

6. Friends started going to you for recommendations on local area hotels, rather than trusting Yelp and Trip Advisor.

5. When the dental office receptionist tells you to have a seat and get comfortable, you're totally flabbergasted.
5A. You actually "get comfortable", only to wonder why people are screaming at you to get out.

4. You're headed to a civvie's apartment without an envelope in your pocket, and feel like you forgot something.

3. You don't remember the last time you used the words "sex" and "money" in speech or in writing.

2. You visualize attractive civvies on the street as completed TER profiles.

(And last but not least.)
1. You come across a magazine ad for a "discreet escrow service".  It takes you a few tries to read the word correctly.

You're reviewing the performance of an investment portfolio and when you see TER, Total Expense Ratio is the second thing you think of.

I was in an office building, waiting in the lobby.  There was a sign at the security turnstile: "Visitors proceeding beyond this point must be accompanied by an escort."  

My initial reaction was: "Are you kidding me!?"  I really wanted to take a picture of that sign.
