I was in the passenger seat and my sister was driving about to make a turn. I saw a car coming and went "inc". ...sigh.

Lord so many instances come to mind...

Back a couple years ago I was still working at GameStop and had stopped by to check on something with the my then boyfriend in toe, a few days prior he had found a sound clip of a Murloc (the one that you always here when they first notice you) and had set it to go off when he received a text message. We're standing about talking to my coworkers/his old coworkers, who happened to be our guild leader and one of the guilds main tanks, when suddenly...
M'urgoglule!
My first thoughts were " Shoot! Prowls not up! Where is it!". I look to my guild leader, his eyes are wide and he is, kid you not, in the dwarf stealth stance, tank buddy is ducked behind the counter, and no less than three customers are hunched down looking around wildly. No lie. The boyfriend's eyes are even a bit wide. My mangier (who does not play WoW) was half way to the counter and is now looking around confused as all get-out. After the third time it happened my boss told him to put the phone on vibrate or he would kick him out of the store. Reason? He was making the employees and customers nervous.

The dreams make me want to play even more...how depressing it is to tame Skoll and when you wake up you're so hyped and then whisper to yourself "It was only a dream"...

This is hilarious win.

Anyway I just noticed a new one for myself. I'm taking notes on a reading for one of my classes, and I just realized I've been using wow-speak for shorthand. Int, mats, etc etc...glad my teacher doesn't look at these.

Yeah, I catch myself using everyday WoW terms IRL. Expressions like wife aggro come up and gain me odd looks.

I also use abbreviation that we use in WoW when I text people, often followed by "what does that mean"?

You know you play to much WoW when you and some room mates/friends decide to go get food and refer to it as a guild run if anyone else asks, or you refer to going out to get hygiene items as getting reagents then have two people understand what your getting at and at lest one other asks to come along because they need something from the store too.

Accidentally said "mats" in chemistry class.

Definitely referred to cooking ingredients as "mats" before. On multiple occasions.

This is because I have 450 cooking, isn't it? -_-

Was just reading some fantasy books. Had to remind myself that trolls are unquestionably evil and yes, the main chars should be killing them because no, they will not reason with you or speak in awesome Jamaican accents.

Actually, trolls are Chaotic Neutral / Chaotic Evil in WoW, so they are kinda' evil there too...

Mine happens when someone comes over and they know I play; and they want to see what the game looks like.. So I sit there and show them and try to explain what's going on in it.. And they sit there with a glazzed look on their faces.. And you know they have no idea what your talking about and it's at that point that I wish and pray they would just leave, so I can dissapear into the game for the rest of the day..

And since I live in the prairies, there are often places that have slight rolling hills beside the road. More than once I've found myself looking over fully expecting to see a herd of Kodos walk by, it looks like they would fit in perfectly.
Kinda plains-ish here as well. A while back the ground rumbled, and my first thought was "kodos."

Just a truck though :cry:

And I've caught myself saying "mats" too.

Just had a pretty bad one a few minutes ago. xD

I was really hungry so I went to go look for some food. There was nothing in the fridge or the cupboards though, so I came back to my computer all sad when I suddenly think: "Oh, I'll just find a mage and get them to conjure something for me."

Yeah, it honestly crossed my mind for a split second before I realized. "Oh..."

I accidentally cut my finger and looked around for a priest.

You are shouting for a healer when you cut your finger?
Remember me to never have you as a tank!

Trashmob: Klonk! *hits tank*
Tank: Ow, ow! Healer! Heal plz! Come on, now! He hit me, dammit!
*trashmob look confused to the priest*
Tank: Aw, man, Now I'm losing aggro! Heal me, quick! The next strike might be a crit!
Rogue: *whispers* Aren't you immune to crits?
Priest: *rolls eyes and starts casting a healing spell to replace the lost 0,00005% HP*
Tank: Am I? You never know! Blizz might nerf me right now!
Trashmob: *tuggs rogues sleeve* Hey, what about me?
Tank: How long does that frigging cast take! I'm dying here, dammit!
Rogue: *to thrashmob* Just a second, we kind of have a situation here.

Who needs that? :lol:

"So, you're a good tank?"
"It depends..."
"On what?"
"Well, when Azlar said "tank", he meant that I ran around with The mobs after me while two shammies spam healed me."
*A half minute of silence.*
