When you are watching Mythbusters and they bring out an ammo can with AMMO in it and you shout at the TV - "It's a cache, it's a cache ........... it should have caching stuff in it!!!" \:D/ lolol

...on a visit to IKEA you are sorely tempted to fill your pockets with little pencils at every place they are offered in the store.

... when you find yourself trying to think of a word other than 'waypoint' to describe the spot where the pencils are found above.

sorely tempted? You mean you DON'T?
I know of several cachers who refer to IKEA as the "free pencil store"

I refuse to answer that question on the grounds I may incriminate myself, your Worship. [pencils clatter to floor from pocket as he sits back down]

Rather than traipse all around Ikea, I've found the best source of pencils are clubs where they play those gambling games - you know, where you get a little card off the table and colour stuff in and then go and pay for it all and watch on the club TV monitor as your numbers don't come up. They have heaps of pencils there.

Not too many clubs around the place for the Keno pencils here in SA.
How about, you know you're a geocacher when not only do you arrive home after visiting IKEA with more pencils than purchased items, but you've trained your non-caching friends to collect pencils for you when they shop there too (a friend dropped 15 off at my place after her last shopping trip :mrgreen: )

15? Had a friend half fill a drawer in my room with itty bitty pencils she picked up.

Or when said pocket queries determine the route, or indeed the holiday destination.
