You've been gone too much when....

How 'bout when you say to the Taco Bell sign:
"Roger, $4.71, drive around to the first window, N990XX"

or:

when your wife gets nice.

You've been on the road too long when you actually figure out how that pesky hotel alarm clock works - AND you start getting excited when you walk into a new hotel room and it has the "easy to use" alarm clock on the night stand!

Also, when you pick up the phone next to your bed at home wanting to call the front desk for a wake up call, then get mad that you'll have to set your own alarm clock.

you are driving and the light ahead turns yellow and you reach up to pull the power levers back to slow down.

I think on the Seminole they are referred to as "Throttles"...

Reaching up is something us mighty twin otter drivers do.

....you write the room number on a piece of paper and put it in your pocket to remember what room your in only to find out later that you did not take out the last several pieces of paper with room numbers on it...........................

or you charge the meal to a room number on the tenth floor and the server comes back and explains that it cant be your room number as this hotel only has 8 floors........

How 'bout coming home to have your dog stare at you with a look that says 'you live here?'...I guess if you get the same look from your wife, it's time for a new job...(or wife)

New one to revive this thread. You stop at the stop sign before you turn left for your street. You look both ways and make your turn. It's 2 AM. Disco lights, siren, cop asks you how much you've been drinking. You're still in uniform and haven't. He asks why you ran the red light. "There's a light there?" You and your crashpad-mate passenger look back, "####, you're right!" The cop lets you off with a warning, laughing. The light has been there for a month.

Home, for people not of our kind...

...when you've memorized your Hilton, Sheraton, Holiday Inn and Marriot reward numbers...and you've forgotten your wife's b-day!
