When you hear a clicking sound and expect an AWOS to start...
 
You're driving down the expressway and see a slowdown ahead... instinctively you start trying to pull back on the steering wheel to lift above it...
 
When you stop what you're doing and search the sky every time you hear a plane overhead.

When you observe cloud types and tops when driving over mountains.

When you look to see who's on final when driving past the airport.

When you critique airliner landings from the back.

When you notice the airliners passing overhead are below Class B but still on the visual approach.

When you identify every airplane you see, in the air and on the ground.

When you complain about all the #%*# geese.

When you post a newbie question on an aviation message board and look forward to the pain and agony of the responses

Geese?

We have pigeon problems here!
(and none have received clearances)
They're like mosquitos and gnats

and balloons.
Hoards of balloons!

When you are sitting at the airport, watching airplanes, talking to airport bums, and you realize that this is your "happy place".

That this is the place you'd rather be of all the places in the world.

Working at the airport, first job I've had where I don't mind staying late. It's a weird and great feeling
 
You feel safer in the air then driving to the airport...
 
.. when the boat the cars and the house are gone but you still own the plane ..
 
You keep writing checks for insurance, hangar and annual invoices year after year.
 
Instead of saying, "What?" or "Huh?" you say, "Say again?"
 
You can't wait for the next flight.

Also Jonesy is right, I always look skyward when I hear a plane. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who does this!
 
Pretty sure we all do!

When you check your teams schedule to see which games are out of driving range but within flying range and try to convince your wife of the importance of attending THAT game.

You check your team's schedule to see when that $&#@% TFR is getting in your damn way.
 
...you check TAF's all day even when you have no intention of flying!!
 
You respond to normal day to day questions with words like "affirmative", "negative", "niner", etc
 
Your friend(also a pilot) gives you the "pull chocks" sign at a bar when he sees you talking to a fat chick.
