Not so much as a geocacher but you know your a cop when you sign your name and add your rank and badge number. Confuses hell out of bank managers
I've come out with some classic things. Not Geocaching related but computer related.

I once asked Mix to "scroll back" so we could look at a house. Yes I meant "reverse back".

On the way out to the Dubbo Event on the weekend, Mix had forgotten to dip his lights while we were driving in the dark. I went to say "drop your caps" and then suddenly realised I was using chat room terminology. :lol:

I have also said "LOL" instead of laughing :oops:

You know you're a geocacher when .....

.... you leave your family on the Central Coast during the worst storms in decades, with no power for four days, to skirt around swollen Hunter district rivers to attend an event in Dubbo that you missed the 1st day of anyway ... and had a GREAT TIME!

.... but I did leave them all my camping gear so that thay could cook on my gas stove and boil water to wash with :roll: what a guy :wink:

You Know you are a Geocacher when you:
Spend over a week 'Modifying' your 'other' vehicle, as your wife wants the good lux to go away with the 'girls', so you then decide to go overboard, and on the morning of departure finally decide that the old tyre's ain't gunna cut it so you fit the Muddies you have decided on (needed new ones for rego anyway!)....
Then spend all night at an event, with the start of the flu, only to get home and have the rest of the week off 'sick', planning cache hides,trips & further mods to the trux to make it a better cache machine. :wink:

When this sign means you run to the cache instead of not entering!

You know you've been caching far too long when ...

- you are actually startled to realise that a Sistema container might make a really good lunchbox

- the main criterion for deciding your next phone contract is what geocaching apps it will run, rather than anything else (including its telephonic prowess)

- the first thing you do after finding out that you are visiting a new area is to find out what caches are in the vicinity

- just about anything you look at could be a cache container

- you start mentally composing your cache log before you've even found the cache

Whenever you watch a travel show you wonder whether there is a hidden cache that the presenter has just walked past.
