...You feel the need to yell at an interior designer for poorly aligned floor tiles.

Any other examples?

You start thinking about what would be a func_detail and what would stay as world geometry in a real life scenario. True story.

You start making a Portal version of the Mr. Dark Battle from Rayman.

You start holding shift and click dragging to copy things in other programs. Such as notepad.

When you look at some complex structure in real world, you start thinking about how many brushes it would consist of. I know you do, been there myself

When you start instinctively hitting Ctrl+S after everything you do on a computer, even copying/transferring files in Explorer. Another true story.

That reminds me of the time I was on a roll with one of the maps I made then lost everything when Hammer crashed. You know you've done too much mapping if you forget to save.

I've seen many misaligned floor and ceiling tiles in reality, for which I would have been yelled at if I had made those in Hammer.

That is a dream I bet tons of mappers (including myself) would like to live in. But that's a dream unfortunately, not a reality.

If you're talking about a recent instance of such a dream, then that's really creepy considering that I had one on the night of Sunday the 27th.

Must... put block here and tie to entity... oh no the block is corrupt! And is growing, removing every other object in the map!

I've done all of these, especially the seeing misaligned textures and looking at everything in turns of prop_static, brushes, etc.

When you press "z" in other programs to try and look around. True story.
