Guilty of all of the above.
I'll add to the pile (just what I can come up with right now, I'm sure there are others):
- You live in a place like Calgary (where we call 10% relative humidity "rain") and yet you own a dehumidifier, because your tanks evaporate so much. You get strange looks at Sears/Hardware Stores/etc. when you ask for a dehumidifier because NOBODY needs one of those.
- Your dehumidifier can't keep up, so you don't bat an eye at dropping a couple grand on a HRV to keep the humidity down in your house. Hey, it's this or give up the tanks. So it's a no-brainer! Credit cards and line of credits whoohoo!
- You daydream at the prospect of upgrading your ballasts to HQI. Nobody around you knows what you're talking about but you even say "HQI" in a hallowed whisper due to the fact that they're sacred.
- You can't function at work without checking your favourite boards every 10 minutes. 10 minutes of productivity, 20 minutes of downtime. You convince yourself that because of that 20 minutes of downtime, your far more productive in that 10 minutes you are productive, than you would be in the same 30 minute period without checking the boards (actually, this might be true, because you'd be thinking "I wonder what's new on the board.")
