Re: You Know You're Obsessed with TSF when...

...when you are TSFing at then end of the day at school and the bell rings, but you stay just a little longer to finish the post and end up almost missing your bus.

...when you use a hands-free headset so you can talk on the phone and TSF at the same time.
