You Know You're A Prog Addict When...
you'd rather spend the night in listening to the latest PT album instead of going to the pub out on a hot date 
(nothing would stop a true progger going to the pub  )

When you stop and watch the drum solo rather than going for a toilet break.

Actually I don't drink at all. This just makes a lot of things harder to listen to.

That's the effect ELP usually has on women (I keep my addiction
secret). The UK broadcaster Stuart Maconie told a similar tale in his
Cider with Roadies book. A school pal tried to impress a girl by
playing Brain Salad Surgery - not even the potentially girl-friendly
bits like Stil You Turn Me On, but the whole 29+ minutes of KE9. Like
your mate he failed to score!

I tried to use prog to impress a girl with how deep I was, but yeah, backfired for me too, just seemed to make her think I was trying.

In a social situation you crack yourself up with a remark that humorously parodies a prog title or lyric (Careful with those snacks Eugene!) or somesuch blithely unaware that everyone around you doesn't get it at all and thinks you're mad.

When you decided not to go to the school just because you want to listen your prog music and don't want to be disturbed. It happened to me few times. then I discovered magical thing called headphones : )

when i go out with my girlfriend and the first thing i do when she enters the car (after a kiss, obvious...) is to force her to hear that fantastic passage in a Genesis, IQ or Dream Theater song i was listening...
......guess she has a great patience.......

Step one:
When you have a 160GB iPod full of your favorite prog music including a little jazz and classical.
Step two:
You are forced to remove the jazz and classical to make room for more of your favorite prog.
Step three:
Removing some of your favorite prog to make room for more of your favorite prog. iPod is still full.
Step four:
Buy another iPod
Step five:
Divorce

When you know all the members of Gong and have never seen a single episode of American Idol.
When any 3D conversation in the year 2009 has the word "mellotron" in it.
You'd rather listen to Andy Latimer play guitar than Eric Clapton.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

When you only turn on American Idol in the hopes that the episode will, at long last, be "Prog Night".
