Check yourself before you wreck yourself

My friend Laura and I were just sitting around tonight discussing social nuances we see regularly and pondering whether we ourselves are guilty of the following 'un-norms.'

You may consider yourself socially awkward if:
-you you don't have to work to make the 'Trekkie Sign'
-you quote Star Wars regularly
-you still own and wear a fanny pack
-Someone has said to you, "Hey, 1986 called and they want their outfit back."
-you laugh at your own jokes... and are the only one doing so
-you talk to and answer yourself (and occasionally yell at yourself)
-you have been referred to as a 'weekend weirdo'
-the exciting part of your day is waking up to watch 'Saved by the Bell' while drinking green tea in bed before you go to work (too familiar Laura?)
-you have been attacked by a bat (story coming soon)
-you have fallen off a treadmill (rather dramatically) at the gym
-you have run over a pedestrian while riding your bicycle

And last, but certainly not least, you own a shirt that says, "Ask me about my rash."

We have decided we are not any of these things.... especially because of our nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, mad hip hop skilz...

What other social awkwardnesses have you observed?
