You Know You're in the SCA When
Commonly abbreviated as "YKYITSCA" (with slight variations).
Those times when your SCA life dribbles over into your modern life...
The classic YKYITSCA example is when you go back to work after an intense weekend of SCA life and you curtsy to your boss or call your co-workers "Milord" or "Milady".

You know you have been playing too long when you hear a loud metal clanging sound when someone is walking past and you expect them to be in armor. You know you have been playing TOO long when this happens at work and it is the tools on a construction workers belt!

You know you have been playing too long when the first place you go looking for a roll of duct tape is your event bins and not where it's "supposed" to be (with the household tools).

You know you're in the SCA when your 10 yr old daughter comes out of merchants row hugging a sword and chortling with glee

You take a class at a SF con on 'stage sword fighting' and you find yourself comparing the instructor's fighting styles and weapons with SCA fighting styles and weapons and it turns out he was one of the principals who 'fought' with Adrian Paul on "Highlander" [among other things].
Talk about conjoining worlds...
