You suddenly become super-observant and take down liscence plate numbers if the person driving looks "shifty".
You set mini-traps in your house using candy bars and try to catch your dad attempting to pinch one in the middle of the night. He opens the jar of candy bars and suddenly the ceiling light goes on - you are stood there, arms crossed, raised eyebrow - a la Grissom - with your kid brother's Action Man walkie talkie in hand.

You get excited when your biology teacher announces your class will be disecting lamb hearts the following week.
You spend more hours watching CSI then sleeping or eating.
You are in French class and have a spaz attack when the teacher writes "gris" on the board, until she calmly tells you it is French for gray....which causes you to giggle hysterically and make comments about Grissom's graying hair.
You get fingerprinting kits for Christmas off your parents.
You count down from first thing on a Tuesday morning until 9pm.
Your family have "CSI parties" which consist of going to the supermarket and buying party food, candy and fizzy cola, and scoffing it all whilst watching back-to-back reruns of all three series of CSI on Friday and Saturday nights.
You start analyzing relationships and procedures on the show.
You watch a new CSI episode and say the characters' lines before they do....and get them right.

You have teddies called Nicky, Grissom, Horatio, Stella, Mac, Greggo all the rest.

You develop a huge addiction to Snickers candy bars.
You trick your next door neighbour into thinking your from Las Vegas, and force her into writing down her blood group and medical notes saying they are for your recent study of forensics, then use the notes to prank call her mother, telling her she has a rare blood condition and the only way to stop her from loosing her leg is to make her eat three different types of worms. Then do a 'grissom-moment' by naming the most common in the back garden and in north west Africa....
