Signs you are addicted to your iPad

[macduke]

When you can't wait any longer and finally spend an entire Friday night backing up and restoring your iPad to iOS 5 and stay up until 9am Saturday playing with it.

Written with thumbs on a split keyboard FTW!

Also when you sell your old iPad to your mom whose Dell broke, go to work the next day, can't stand that you don't own an iPad (use Air Display and Adobe Nav), call around to track down a store that has the iPad 2 that is 30 minutes away, get back just in time for your break to end and for your Apple obsessed co-worker to film the unboxing on her iPhone 4. That was me a week and a half ago, lol.

...using ipad to chop onions and carrots

Omgosh, I was turning around today holding my iPad 2 and it hit my wife in the boob and she about died, lol. Thing is sharp!

I've become addicted to AirPlay. I hope someday Netflix, Hulu, and full newscasts can be AirPlayed.

You have your Tv on yet it's just playing and you aren't watching it, you've got your iPad in hand and cant let it go.

2)Slight tears come into my eyes when I see the "We Believe" ad from Apple.

Really? . . . . . . .oh dear

Guilty as charged. Also add Twitter, MacRumors, Facebook, to that list.
Time simply vanishes. I say to myself: "I'll sit on the can for 5-10 mins", but it always ends up being 25-30!

You create inane threads like this one.

It's always next to you when you sleep...

Or you sleep with it

When you insist that anyone who touches go wash their hands first.

Ha--I've done that.

But my sign is that I was using my wife's Kindle the other day and tried to click stuff on the screen instead of use the buttons. I have also almost done that on my computer.

My sign: The other day, our 4-year-old was trying to touch the screen on our TV while my husband was loading an Xbox game and couldn't understand why it wasn't reacting.

I constantly wipe it down, with a cloth, to clean it; and if I ever see a piece of dust that looks like a scratch, my heart stops - temporally.

Lol I'm the same for my iPhone 4

Hemorrhoids may end up being a symptom of iPad addiction. You guys/girls be careful!

"Paper, we don't need no stink'in paper!"

If when someone hands you a printed sheet of paper your first thought is, why didn't they just email this to my iPad...then you refuse to look at it until they do.

My first question when I go to a meeting where there are hand-outs is: "Did you email this to me?". Also, if a file doesn't PDF well, it shouldn't be given to me!

I was playing MC2 last night in bed with headphones on and thought I heard thunder/lightening and heavy rain outside. I stopped playing, hit the home button, and went to the weather channel app to check the weather...instead of just looking out the window or opening the front door

I don't care if theres water falling from the sky, if my iPad says it's not raining-- it's not raining.

 

[laurenr]

Y'all need a support group!

 

[MykullMyerz]

When you have to check your email as soon as you hear the tone, regardless of the importance level of your current activity.

This right here. I look forward to that chime so I can open up the e-mail app.

 

[machacker]

I realized I was addicted when I started using Splashtop to remote into my desktop computer, rather than use the desktop computer...while I was sitting in front of it...

Those of you with little kids trying to use gestures on the TV screen or books -- that was my daughter 6 months ago (until she finally figured out there's a difference). She's been using Apple products since she could first control her muscle movements. She doesn't really understand a mouse and keyboard, but that's okay. She's 3 now -- by the time she's 6, ALL computers will be touch screen.
