You know you are addicted to Team-BHP when ...

locusjag · 6th March 2020, 14:54

...when Team-BHP occupies your thoughts the entire day. It is the first thing I check up on in the morning and the last thing I refresh in the night before sleeping. Help!

When you learn something from any other source/forum and you instantly log on to Team-BHP to confirm its authenticity and details

warrioraks · 7th March 2020, 13:50

... when your mind autocompletes every word that starts with ‘team’ to ‘teambhp’

Some faux pass as a consequence:

1. Manager to employee during performance review - “this year, you showed exceptions TeamBhp leadership skills”
2. Water cooler talk in office - “It’s so difficult working with him, he is not a TeamBhp player”
3. IT guy trying to remotely solve an issue - “Can you switch on your TeamBhp viewer?”
4. You start cursing your email provider for sending TeamBhp mails to spam. Later realise it was from someone else.

When your daily routine comprises of opening team-bhp.com, browsing through all the new threads, then closing the browser. And then absent mindedly opening the browser again and going to the same "browse new posts" forum page 5 minutes later.

Oh and also the small fact of when you've thanked nearly 30000 posts.

I'm addicted. Send help

You know you are addicted to Team-BHP when :
1. (Soon after checking the mail) The first tab you open at office computer is Team-BHP
2. The 75% of your browser history is filled by Team-BHP data history
3. Atleast 7-8 tabs of Team-BHP are opened at all times in your mobile
4. Wife scolds you, for checking Team-BHP till late night
5. You feel more sad for your membership rejection, than scoldings from parents
6. You start behaving like a good driver and follow traffic rules to the core. And your friends make fun of you for not jumping the signal when no much vehicles
7. You are ready to lend some money to a friend, but not ready to lend or gift your Team-BHP stickers, keychains and ask him to get his own
8. You start thinking where to stick on the Team-BHP stickers, even before your car delivery
9. You value the reviews and information on Team-BHP more, than the information from your SA or friends
10. A smile lits up your face everytime, on spotting of Team-BHP sticker anywhere

You know you are addicted to Team-BHP when you are driving as routine and still thinking how to narrate this experience for TBHP ownership review.

dailydriver · 10th March 2020, 20:37

You know you are incorrigibly addicted to teambhp when you keep coming back to the site for updates on CORONA virus, ignoring all other sources on the internet.

(Has been the case with me ever since blackwasp started the (The Coronavirus Thread) thread.)

GTB · 14th March 2020, 22:01

You know you are addicted to Team-Bhp,

- When you read Team-Bhp every morning just like your daily news.
- You read Team-Bhp even when you're on vacation.

NPV · 15th March 2020, 08:28

When you correctly guess the name and Team BHP handle of someone you see for the very first time, after noticing their well maintained car that's also famous courtesy travelogues on the forum

ashwinprakas · 18th March 2020, 01:32

You know you are addicted to Team-BHP when ... You open this thread and see other Tbhpians share the same symptoms you've been facing.

I really need to work on implementing digital wellbeing, cause you know what they say, too much of anything ain't that good in the long run.

Reinhard · 24th March 2020, 12:15

When you ignore overdue bill / fee reminder emails on Gmail but instantly open each TBHP mail for update / quote / news!

(Based on a true story!)

mayankk · 24th March 2020, 12:37

When you start cross checking for corona updates here.

itwasntme · 10th April 2020, 09:22

When you check TBHP from bed as soon as you wake up and have immediate anxiety attacks when a 'database error' comes up (like today :-)). Added to it is wife notices the same and cackles saying 'it made her day'.

Tuisha110HP · 10th April 2020, 22:09

When you have to press ALT+TAB the moment wife enters your study room. All to avoid being asked the question "when do you actually work? All I see are dozens of TBHP tabs open in your browser."

TheHelix0202 · 15th April 2020, 09:51

When you’ve read every single test drive report, initial ownership review, long term ownership, many meet threads, mod threads and are still thirsty for more content on sedans, sedans, sedans and...well, more sedans.

I’m still hunting for modification threads, especially on German cars (can’t seem to find too many).

Like someone above rightly said, send me help pliz.
