50 Symptoms of ATS Syndrome! Are YOU Infected?

We've all probably wondered if reading this web site has had an effect upon us. For the sake of community health I have compiled a list of well researched warning signs that will help you decide if you might be logging onto ATS just a little too frequently.

Read at your own risk and abandon all hope, ye who enter here...


01) You've spontaneously cut a great first date short because the other party said the words "Who's David Icke?"

02) You've ever dragged a horrible first date out into a six month relationship because the other party said the words "Oh my God, I LOVE David Icke!"

03) You haven't answered your phone in four weeks because you're convinced that the NSA is spoofing your caller ID say "Mom" or "Work" when they call.

04) Every time you hear a knock at your door you think that TPTB have come to arrest / recruit you.

05) You are disappointed when the knock at your door is not TPTB, but is only Jevohas Witnesses.

06) You post a thread, 20 minutes later, saying "I think TPTB just knocked on my door disguised as Jehovas Witnesses."

07) You've driven past your own home and then kept going, for hours, because there was a strange black SUV parked in your neighborhood.

26) You truly believe that the above will be what puts you over the top and gets you that job!

Haha, brilliant stuff Heff

I have to admit that I'm infected. How long have I got?

Hahahaha

LOTF

You are a funny guy heff. The boops one with Colleen totally smacked me to the floor.

Unfortunately... I failed.

Does that mean I will get banned ?

Star and flagged for making my day.

oh lord, i have ATSAIDS! *runs in panic*
I hope there's a cure... somewhere *keeps running in panic*

reply to post by Hefficide

Yep, I'm inflicted alright!
I got a kick out of #47, because when those new digital receivers came out for TV, I just knew they were watching! But people looked at me strange....go figure.
Thanks for the laugh and your effort Heff, great assessment!
I might use these as qualifications for turning new people onto ATS so that they too can have a community to share in the madness.

Peace,
spec

Lmao

51: You say "star and flag" to your family and friends if they say or do something noteworthy.

I actually did once!

I don't do any of those, but symptom number 30 is the closest I'll ever get to being infected
Mainstream news IS disinfo. I'm not saying it's 100% lies, but it is designed to control people and make them believe what THEY want you to believe. Dictionaries are cool though

Funniest thread I've read in ages. I like to think that I've not been effected too much, although I have put a plaster over the web cam in my computer, you know, just in case.

LOL! Awesome!

And to make Outkast Searcher feel at home, I am adding another

53) You've debated, voraciously, only to realize, 14 hours in, that you don't even really care about the subject matter - but yet can't stand to think that somebody on the Internet might be wrong...

~Heff

To be fair...I'm well aware that I don't care about the subject way before I start debating it.

And it isn't that I can't stand that somebody on the Internet might be wrong (or right)...it's that it's fun to watch people freak out about being shown that they are wrong and not being able to admit it.

It's the little things in life that I enjoy...like people blocking me...ahhh...nothing like a good ol block.
