Bored, so lets make a list of game things merging into real life.
At work:
accidentally treating your office communicator as party chat.
Me to my boss:
Quote:
Me: /p The SoP will be done tomroow.
Me: /p Tomorrow*
Boss: What does /p mean?
Me: Sorry keyboard key stuck.

Lol, nice. I did one similar using Microsoft Lync to a co-worker. Told them to PST when done updating a spreadsheet. Needless to say they had no idea what PST meant.
Think I may go /shout into the PA system now....just because I'm stuck here and want to be playing! -

When you play a game for "just another 10 mins".... but in reality it has been 2 hours since you thought that and its 3 am.

The other day I was e-mailing a wholesaler who had gotten me some things I needed really quickly:
XXXXXX,
Fantastic! I sincerely appreciate your extra Ifrit!
Thank you,
I am starting to think in Primal-related puns.... -

Well, I did never see this while still playing this game, but saw it a lot in FFXI.

I remember when I was reading a article on some news website, it was something about Georgia. The first time I read the name I read it as Gridania. I'm not really that fond of the citi-state, but it kinda shocked me that happened. I was considering making a thread like this. Glad someone did lol.
OP I tend do to the same thing all the time. I'm always having to stop myself when I'm trying to CTRL + P/L/F, or w/e. It is much more severe when I'm chatting online with friends that I play the game with, outside the game ofc lol.
Edit: I think it may be more common for those of us that have played XI sense launch > 1.0 > today. -

Last year when this game first came out, I played so much I had a nightmare about running through the forrest behind my house with my boyfriend and the ground turned into millions of nix frogs and suddenly they all opened their eyes and were looking at us and I just know something was about to pop off, I got shook and woke up from it yelling "Nix!", reallllllllllly glad I was the only one here at the time lol. XD Needless to say I don't play as much anymore but I still loves the game.

When you at one point had a ring tone from a game.
My Phone STILL uses "Motorcycle chase(FF7)" as ring tone. Best part is most dont know and like.."hey that is a cool ring tone" im like "yes, yes it is"
had Jenova theme song for a bit.
Also had "Codec" ring tone from MGS. -

Classic one from FFXI days was talking in auto-translate. "What would you like for breakfast?" "Cereal {Can I have it?} Help {Do you need it?}"

I saw an old lady in a wide brimmed straw hat one day and wondered what level her botanist was at.
