You Know You've Been Playing Marathon Too Long When...

...you look through the TV guide and see "Marathon" playing at 8 pm.

Happened to me last night & confused the hell out of me.

...to walk in a hallway you just missed, you walk backwards & turn the
opposite direction, because it's faster than turning around, walking
forwards, and then turning again.

(Did that make sense?)

You walk back into your office building, and see someone walk around a
corner at the end of the long hall in front of you.

You drop your coke and donut as your fingers twitch to aim, and your
thumb twitches for the grenade launch button.
