My thoughts exactly!
I guess when your using your graphing paper in math class to play games and attempt to make tsumego.
Or when you look at the cracks in the floor and start to visualize a game being played out.

...when you're sitting at work in a meeting and draw a grid onto a piece of paper so you can play out some basic joseki
Not that I did that today, or anything.

From wikipedia: "Tengen was a video game publisher and developer that was created by arcade game manufacturer Atari Games." I had no idea.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tengen_%28company%29 Can't say I blame them for picking the name Tengen, it is pretty cool
I know I'm addicted because I experience withdrawal if I don't try to solve any Go problems for a few days. Once I start again, I immediately feel better.

Now, if you do something similar to the
intersections instead!
Well. There was a time when I look at tile grids and positions such as fuseki and tsumego start to appear...

Of course not! Who would ever do that?
To sig or not to sig, that is the question.

You know you're addicted to go when you tell your wife that you're going out "drinking with your buddies" instead of telling her what you're really up to.
Patience, grasshopper.

When a car cuts me off I think "That was a bad cut, there is no room to capture or make two eyes here"

... you check L19 and your turned based dgs/boardz game during class breaks and find yourself fighting to not try to check them in the middle of class?.... then since it was a math class, you start seeing Go games in the graphs.....
I'm thinking...

When you prolong your stays on the toilet because the bathroom tiles always capture your attention.

When you find go stones on your bathroom floor after you've played a quick game of capture go.

When you are reading musical notation and try to find a way for the quarter notes to put the whole notes in atari... Bach to play and kill (I know, terrible...).

Not as bad as it seems on the first sight. There seems to be a connection between go and music. When I was around 15k I was dreaming while listening to music, and the quarter notes appeared to me as one point jumps and the half notes as two point jumps.
